Cost of blood, Edda Edition
o7 Nerds and Space Vampires
I recently sold my collector items I received from participating in the Capsuleer Edda during Fanfest this year. The collector said "name your price", I thought 10b/jacket was a sufficient number, he said GG and the trade was completed. Whether you think I got scammed or the buyer got scammed, it made me think about how we now have an ISK to Blood conversion in New Eden.
With current prices (500 PLEX = $25 USD = 2.3b ISK), we can convert the blood donated to the Edda to real dollars. 500 PLEX = 2.3b. 1b ≈ $10.87 USD. $10.87 USD x 20 = $217.39. $217.39 / 3 drops of blood = $72.46 per drop of blood. We can extend this further to estimate the total value of blood circulating throughout an entire person being roughly (5500 ml x 20 drops/ml x $72.46) $7 970 600 or 733.3 trillion ISK.
Please be careful with yourself, you're worth more than you think (to the right buyer).
