Expectations for the market VIA PLEX for VideoCard

So 400 plex potentially offered for 20 videocard. Appx 475m a piece, for a total value of 190b.

Expectations are to have all that capital released into the market (assuming 100% of people take advantage of it, and no one just buys plex to use, since it is just cheaper to buy it outright. the expectations are for those who have built it through in game commerce to be the only adopters)

not a sink or a faucet, but a shot of liquidity into cash for the economy, which should drive up prices, but only for sectors that would be taken advantage of for those who would have the ability to get 20 plex. Large corps, heavy station traders etc.

(e.g. less products available in eve for the same money = more demand than supply) assuming the old figures I've seen of appx 14 trillion in eve economy, that would be a I would expect .73% shift.

The hardest hit sector would be plex. with about 200 traded a day in each hub, prices would probably jump 6% for the month (assuming all trades happen in 30 days)which would eventually trail back to equilibrum. If any outside factors are affecting plex ATM, than this will speed up the process. Disproportionately happening in Jita.

Will expect other effects in the liquidity of the market, since I'm sure station traders will have capital to invest, affecting hisec prices to lower buys and higher sells on profitable items.

Finally, nulsec may move capital out of the region on order to sell in faction space to afford, though I don't know enough about the political structure in Nul to be able to say with any amount of certainty. If this is the case, minerals, salvage, and manufactured goods may get price drops in the interm, with a sleight shortage in the medium term, due to capitalizing on this event, instead of steady stream of goods.

that's my guess anyway. I'm no economist, but I did stay at a Best Western last night.
