Hi, I have roughly 91% of all NPC available BPOs, 65% of which are perfectly researched. The full list is: > I wonder what the actual value of this would be. I’ve been researching across 12 characters for a full year. Edit: Of course, I’d be interesting in selling the collection if there are interested parties. Maybe an auction. Thanks in advance! ---

I mean, sure: > **[Appraisal MEJowb @ NPC sell: 124,286,691,923.92 ISK | Janice](https://janice.e-351.com/a/MEJowb)** > > 10000MN Afterburner I Blueprint - 1 > 10000MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Blueprint - 1 > 10000MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner Blueprint - 1 > 100mm Steel Plates I Blueprint - 1 > 100MN Afterburner I Blueprint - 1 > 10MN Afterburner I Blueprint -... That’s just the base price though. My own valuation works like this: Base price: `124,286,691,923.23 ISK` Base price with research costs, based on 3.5% system index and 1% facility tax: `139,782,753,502,97 ISK` This is based on current cost calculation. Realistically, it was 4-5% system index and the costs were higher during most of my research. This collection was a value store for me but thx CCP 😃 Then, implementing an account of the cost of total research/invention hours invested, assuming perfect scheduling, based on a 5mil PLEX price and 33 research slots per account, we reach the number of: `175,757,568,379.16 ISK` I then add a 2.5% convenience fee for having collected all of these in one place and taking the risks to do so. Trade hub margins on these are usually much higher anyway. `180,151,507,588.64 ISK` However, we know lower tiered blueprints are often selling at a loss, even (partly) researched ones, which is why I’m willing to cut off all blueprints below 50mil in researched valuation and reduce their price to 66% of valuation. That puts: `32,711,495,209.68 ISK * 0.66 = 21,589,586,838.39 ISK` So `180,151,507,588.64 - 32,711,495,209.68 + 21,589,586,838.39 ISK` …leave us with: `169,029,599,217.35 ISK` Which is the point I would start an auction at. Rounded down to 165Bil. I’m just wondering if anyone can share their own ways of valuating their BPO collections? ---

Wow, this is a great, very methodical valuation. Thank you! ---

I’ve made an auction contract in Dodixie, selling this collection minus some blueprints I wanna keep. I put it up as 130bil start, quite a bit less than the starting bid proposed here, buyout sits at 174bil. The changes reflect the BPOs I took out of the offer. ---
