Market Discussions

I do not see them as good trade option at this late stage and price. People who bought them before and such are different story, but it's not a new market to enter for someone as a first timer.

Having said that, like I said in another similar thread earlier on MD, if you have enough ISK then ROI time frame or market value of T2 BPO is not a concern. If you already hold large quantity and diversity of assetes and investment as well as enough ISK buffer to feel no need to make quick profit or liquidation, then why not?

The super rich IRL do the same. Buying way over priced lands and properties, hoarding tons of materials/resources, etc.

Common sense says in 99.99% of cases you'd better off using that money for more profitable things, but there are people who belong to that 0.01% in the top rich where common sense is irrelevant and diversity can be attractive by itself regardless of ROI on a particular item. Considering there is no penalty/tax in EVE for keeping high value assets or ISK forever, it's viable consideration.

Interesting detective work. You were the person that unmasked Blueprint Seller too, weren't you?

T2 BPO's are like diamonds. They are useless but shiny. As with all things shiny, you can find a rich guy to drop the ISK for it, they're not buying for the returns. Also, many people spend IRL money to fund these purchases.

I have no experience with T2 BPO's. But I think the price for these limited items have a solid correlation with how willing people are to spend IRL money. I wouldn't be surprised if 1/3 (or more) of Tech 2 BPO or AT Ship purchases are funded with IRL money.

Depends on how much people make. Eve Online player base is older compared to other games.

Why can't we be friends?

Don't let me stop you from getting back to the things that matter. Best of luck.

I have removed some off topic and Trolly responses. Dirty gunk.

Those Quoting have also been removed.

You might be surprised. For example in my alliance, the members have access to read new member applications. There is a question that asks what they do for ISK. About 80% of the applicants say they'll PLEX if needed.

And sometimes PLEX sellers become PLEX buyers. For example when I first started playing, I've sold about 300 Bil worth of PLEX to get my starting capital. Now I can easily PLEX my accounts and play for free.

And that's one of the great things about this game. If you make a RL money investment into the game, depending on what you do with the ISK, it will allow you to start playing the game for free. So you actually get something in return.

Yes but how long will I play in the future. You also have to weigh in the time you need to spend to get your capital.

For me, I sold about 300 billion worth of PLEX. But it's possible for someone to sell 50 or 100 Billion worth of PLEX and still make enough to PLEX all their accounts. If they can sell 100 Billion worth of PLEX, and use it to make enough ISK to PLEX their accounts for 10 years going forward, and also fuel their PvP needs, then it's not bad.

There is also something else very important that should not be overlooked: the time saved IRL.
