I had a pile of blueprint copies sitting in my hangar — leftovers from data sites, ghost sites, and sleeper content. Before listing resources on our alliance market, I’d run items through Janice and get a fair price in minutes. Blueprint copies were a different story. I couldn’t find any tool that did the same kind of quick, paste-and-appraise workflow for BPCs, especially when I wanted prices anchored to Jita 4-4 contract listings the way I actually buy and sell in The Forge.
So I built BPC Appraisal — and it’s in beta on silfurfat.is now.
What it does
- Today — one pricing method (with room to grow)
The first method mirrors how a corpmate priced the BPCs he wanted to buy from me: lowest sells on Jita 4-4 contracts in The Forge — the same idea as using in-game contracts from the hub, without clicking through hundreds of listings yourself. You paste your BPCs from EVE, get a line-by-line table and a total in ISK, and can share a link so someone else can view the appraisal without logging in (you sign in with EVE SSO only when you create one). - If a blueprint has no existing price listed, you can turn on material build cost as a fallback (manufacturing inputs at Jita sell, per run, base ME) so rare or quiet BPCs still get a number instead of a blank row. That’s the extent of “settings” for now — a simple option, not a full control panel yet.
- What’s coming
This is beta on purpose. I plan to add more appraisal methods (different markets, regions, or ways people actually trade BPCs) and advanced settings so you can tune how a run is priced instead of one fixed recipe. The goal is the same as Janice for items: paste, appraise, share — but built for blueprint copies and the way we actually sell them. - If you try it and think “this method is wrong for X” or “I always price Y this way,” that’s exactly the feedback I want before the next methods land.
Still beta — tell me what you need
This is v0.1.0 beta. I use it myself, but it’s not done. Pricing quirks, missing contracts, and “I wish it did X” are all fair game.
I’m open to suggestions and feature ideas — if you run into something broken or have a wishlist item, reach out. That’s how this goes from a hangar-cleanup side project to something worth keeping.
