Eh... even with a ME 50 T2 BPO, that one costs about 1801k to make. A T2 BPC with -4 ME costs 1816k to make (not very different), plus 161k invention costs per item. They sell for less then 1.8M each (1650k-1750k), so even the T2 BPO owner is losing money by making those. The inventor just loses more.

(Not having to do the invention step is the main advantage a T2 BPO has over inventors. Sometimes that -4 ME matters, but mostly it doesn't. )

good example of a vanity item.

jita market volume is 80 items per day, profit from me40, pe40 bpo is -1.7 mil per day per slot using buy prices.

assuming you would be given this bpo, what would you do with it? what kind of profit are you going to make and how exactly?

I guess its possibility that CCP might be doing something about the T2 BPO's at last - but I would not hold my breath over it.

They DO seem to be staring at many of the long dead horses at the moment wondering if they should do anything about it though.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.
