I accidentally caused a mini-market crash. Oops.

Meta 4 warp scramblers. I seem to have caused a localised price drop in Sinq Laison region for these little mongrels.

I'd rather it wasn't this way, if anyone feels like taking action to reduce local supply by carting some of these to Jita, you'll make a little ISK out of the transaction and I will be grateful.

I'm interested, however, in just how generalizable the (accidental) price drop seems to be, and I look forward to trying to replicate it on other high volume items in future.

I remember when that happened with DCII while back.
Bought a humongous stack, then in all my ignorance sold it at that price to the one crashing the market, saying "he'd fix it"
Fix it he did.

I've been exiting Meta 4 modules since the fanfest presentation in which Fozzie described module rebalancing. Looks like Meta 2-4 will equalise (more or less) unless the current Meta 4 are converted to the "Cosmos" items.

Either way, too much uncertainty for me! I wouldn't be surprised if the Meta 4 market softened.

I have no intention of holding large amounts of them for that reason, but for items that get blown up so often I hold no concerns.
