Signal Cartel Redistribution of Unwanted Blueprint Service (SCRUBS)
A blueprint buyback service created and managed by: Xavec
The Crux of It
- The price offered will be calculated using the Fuzzwork blueprint appraisal tool
- The bottom line of this calculator will be used - Profit (Sell - Material - Install).
- You will be offered 50% of this price which means the profit in the BPC will be split between you (as the BPC finder) and Xavec (the manufacturer/hauler/seller).
Terms and Conditions
- Any blueprints for which the Profit is zero or negative will be bought for a flat rate which is based on the value of the outcome product.
- Any Blueprint originals will be bought for 90% of the Jita price in line with the loot buyback service. The price offered will be a flat rate based on an unresearched BPO.
- Blueprints which require more than just ore to build are subject to different pricing arrangements.
This include capital items, T2 items, implants, Triglavian items, rigs and faction.
The price for these will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. - Any BPCs for T1 explo frigates or the fittings for starter fits will be manufactured and the ships or fits donated to Signal Cartel.
- Any ships used by FOD such as Brutixes or Punishers will likewise be offered free of charge to them.
- If you run any Signal Cartel division and there are ships you'd find handy please message Xavec about ship donation.
- Donated BPCs will result in an equivalent donation to Signal Cartel.
- The price is open to negotiation, however for most BPCs the offer will not exceed 50%.
- For very high profit BPCs (eg Marshal, High-grade ascendancy omega) a higher margin than 50% will automatically be offered.
- A manufacturing service is offered. You supply the BPC and receive the finished product. The price will be quoted to you on a case-by-case basis and will be based on the material cost.
- If there are any BPCs you would like, please message Xavec - chances are he has it somewhere.
How Do I Take Advantage?
- To take advantage please send Cevax Aubaris a contract with the blueprints in with a zero isk price. You will receive a reply with a proposed price.
- Do not send evepraisal links, use contracts.
- If you accept the proposal the zero price contract will be accepted and you will receive the ISK as a transfer. If you prefer you can make a new contract with the agreed price in the contract.
- Contracts should be issued to Cevax Aubaris. Preferably at Zoohen, but contracts from any of the Signal Cartel stations (including [AD]) or Jita will be accepted.
- Any questions can be posted to Xavec either in the BPC trading channel of the CLL discord, the Corp Discord, Personal Discord message or by messaging Xavec in-game.
- Please see the Contracts page for further instructions.
FAQs
Q: Why only 50%? A: Because of the time and effort required (getting materials, hauling them, production, hauling and selling the product). This is flexible for very high value BPCs and a higher price will be negotiated.
Q: Why have you offered me less than 50% according to Fuzzwork? A: Some items require Xavec to buy all of the raw materials - meaning that he would actually take a loss. Other items have a high sell price but a very, very, low buy price making them harder to sell and indicates that the sell prices might be overly inflated. Rigs, Starbase components and faction items are good examples of these.
Q: How much will you buy Zeugma or Ligature BPCs for? A: 250,000 and 100,000 ISK respectively.
Q: Will you buy the crappy free login BPCs? A: Yes! You'll be paid 1-10k each for these.
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.
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.
