==FAQs== '''Q:''' ''Why only 50%?'' '''A:''' Firstly I sell to buy prices to keep my cashflow up which means I make much less than you. Secondly the time and effort required (getting materials, hauling them, production, hauling and selling the product) is high and costly. '''Q:''' ''Why have you offered me more than 50% according to Fuzzwork?'' '''A:''' Some BPCs that have very high profits will automatically attract a much higher price paid to you. '''Q:''' ''Why have you offered me less than 50% according to Fuzzwork?'' '''A:''' Most of the time this is because the items have a high sell price but a very, very, low buy price making them harder to sell. Usually the buy/sell volume of these items is very very low. This indicates that the sell prices are wildly overly inflated. Rigs and storyline items are good examples of these. '''Q:''' ''But this BPC is for sale in contracts for X millions!'' '''A:''' Just because it is for sale at that price doesn't mean they actually sell for that price. I do not buy blueprints at the contract price because they are often vastly inflated and the true value is based on the profit margin. There may be exceptions to this I don't know about so please feel free to ask. I promise I don't bite. '''Q:''' ''How much will you buy Zeugma or Ligature BPCs for?'' '''A:''' 250,000 and 100,000 ISK respectively. '''Q:''' ''Can I just get whatever price you offer straight away?'' '''A:''' Yes! Just write "Auto-accept" in the contract comments! Note: this price cannot be renegotiated unless an error is made by Xavec. '''Q:''' ''How do I donate BPCs?'' '''A:''' Just write "donation" in the contract comments. Profit will be donated to the corp and may be eligable for formal recognition. '''Q:''' ''I need a blueprint copy of an item. Can I have one?'' '''A:''' Potentially, yes! Just tell me what you need and how many runs and I will see what I have. I may ask you to pay if I need to do some T2 invention but if I have a large number of the BPCs I will just give you them for free. '''Q:''' ''Can you give me some worked examples of the profit margins?'' '''A:''' Sure. Example 1: I buy a packrat blueprint from you for 15,500,000 isk because the fuzzwork "bottom line" is 31,000,000. The materials cost me 12,000,000 and I sell to the jita buy price of 38,000,000 (not the 44 million sell price) minus the install price of around 1.5 million, leaving me a profit of 9 million before taking into account the risks & time of hauling. Example 2: Capital Drone Speed Augmentor II Rig, fuzzwork "bottom line" is 137 million. The Material cost is 148 million and the Jita buy price is unusually high at time of writing of 140 million. The sell price is 300 million but the volumes sold are low and most of the item sales are from buy orders. This means that the profit of the rig in fuzzwork is artificially inflated. The actual rig is loss-making.
