I have a funny idea but things other than BPCs might help out with it.

Some BPCs not only look valuable. They are valuable.

i gave up of EVE industry  
that makes me kinda sad  
back them i loved to build some ships to use  
and industry was what lead me to PVP  
i was making interceptors for some goons “war” in some (low sec?) few jumps away from jita  
to make some isk , opportunity and stuff

but i notice that they sited on the gates with no care in the world , so i began to try to kill them between sales runs

Ok, we got it: you got a bunch of expensive BPCs. Call my dumb but I’d rather had the built up ship.

Imagine someone being so desperate and insecure that they feel compelled to show up to a game forum once a month just to brag about their in-game non-wealth in some random thread. 🤔

If you plan to drop bait loot that is worthless but seems valuable consider broken laser crystals especially navy and other special versions. As they are used up thus broken can anot be sold on the market but when you open a container with them in it the estimated value will show the price of the ones you can buy on the market (intact crystals).

If you plan to create a scam contract you can’t do this if I recall correctly as only repackaged crystals can be contracted so in that case you have to come up with something else.

Bricked abyssal modules can look juicy in both cases despite are worthless due to bad roll.

Same can go with some faction modules that are dirt cheap but could trick someone not paying much attention.
