Market Discussions

Ive been following the PI market keenly for the last few days. Looks like buy orders are now tracking the new cost closely. There are a few items that are bucking the trend thou.

The buy order prices for Biocells, Supertensile Plastics, Synthetic Synapses and Transmitters are relatively high. The stocks for these items are pretty low so really no suprise there.

On the other hand; Genetically Enhanced Livestock, High-Tech Transmitters, Supercomputers, Transcranial Microcontrollers and Water-Cooled CPUs have a relatively low buy price. Water-Cooled CPUs have a moderate stock level and are currently being 'repriced'. There is a moderate stock level of Genetically Enhanced Livestock, High-Tech Transmitters and Transcranial Microcontrollers , and of these High-Tech Transmitter and Transcranial Microcontrollers Sell Price is slightly below cost estimates. Supercomputer stocks are low and sell price is close to cost estimates.

PI Costing

*Cost are based on simulated buying of material at jita sell price and include export and import taxes.

Ive highlighted the items with significant stockpiles in yellow in the spreadsheet. Expect in the case where the buy price is close to cost.

Ive added another three worksheets. PI Exposure list all the 'end user' items on the market that are affected by PI and by how much. Product Daily Volumes is just for reference. Customs Office Gantry Effect calculates the raw material volumes with and without a daily Customs Office Gantry Volume of 155.

Your welcome. Im getting some traffic on the spreadsheet but very little feedback here, thank you.

Does anyone have any suggestion for the worksheets? Estimates for Customs Office Gantry volumes?

Added two more sheets. New High-Sec Tax worksheet shows the effects of doubling High Sec import and export Taxes. Customs Office Gantry worksheet attempts to calculate the payoff time for a Customs Office around a manufacturing planet, given a certain number of players using the planet for PI manufacturing.

Thought id give everyone a heads up. Chiral Structures are going through the roof. This should have a big impact on transmitters, miniature electronics and consumer electronics. See the spreadsheet for the new costs.

Added a new sheet called Goo Costs, for Processed and Advanced Moon Materials. Added Cost 2 (From Raw Materials) for Advanced Moon Materials.

Unfortunately you have missed out pmchens post on his engagement of PI taxation. But don’t worry the market echelons of GSF have missed out just. So it will be rather business as usual. The speculations cannot be nailed on spread charts yet as there are to many variables on the run for the outcome to deter a base for solid speculation.

Check back any recent post in relevance to PI and the POCO set up, but don’t expect anyone to do the work for you!

PI costing now includes the doubling of import and export taxes as outlined in the crucible patch notes.

Stocks are high and sell price is 20% over minimum cost, I dont think its worth buying. Supercomputers, Condensates, Supertensile Plastics and Oxides have a lower stock and are selling under cost, they may be worth repricing.
