CN invul prices are based on tags


It's a one way conversion, once converted you effectively take a loss.

Prolly the same reason it's 1.57$ for a liter of pepsi and the gas station and 1.74$ for a 20oz....

Ouch. I'm sitting at work drinking from a 2L bottle of Pepsi Max here that I paid AUD 1.55 (about USD 1.4) for. Granted that's a sale price, but they are usually about AUD 2 (USD 1.72).

No biggie. CN Invulns are overpriced atm, which is why volume is drastically down. ~20 a day CN vs ~80-100 a day for pith c-types

As for 'Why'. Part of that is in name recognition and how the items come into the game.
People know CN is the shield faction, so they know it is the best faction item. +1 for CN
Goons (and their crayon-eating CFC peers) plexing in the north brain-numbingly running Guristas mil op complexes (the 7/10) get the pith c-types and then just wanna sell it for w/e is quick so they can PLEX their bots.

This isn't anything unique to invulns, or CN. Many items with matching specs have otherwise unexplainable price differences. For a long while (like years) centi-c type ANP were a good 20% less than Imperial navy.

Lastly, and just as a bonus reason. CN invulns are far from the best lp/isk conversion lately. In fact CN antimatter AMMO is better atm. Hence, mission runners trying to push up the prices to be in line and worth converting.

Disclosure: I went long on CN invulns 2 years ago before going out of game for a while.


Unless something has changed, I've yet to find a way in eve to exploit selling an item short, you could make this a worthwhile thread and exploring that though.



CN Invuln Volume should really be 0-1/day since it's useless even as a collector item.

I think this odd price phenomenon is due to CN brand name + people too lazy to use the compare tool.


No.. it is because CN loot comes from LP store, not from sites (mostly) and LP store have a price set by LP conversion rate.
