To be completely honest, there's no way to accurately predict how much PLEX might sell for on XIV's market wards. Imagine you invented the light bulb. How much would you sell it for? You can use the price of parts and manufacturing to estimate the cost that people will pay for it, but you can't possibly guess the real market value of it. The same thing happens every time a company does an initial public offering (IPO). The company execs have some idea of how much their company is worth and so they set their initial share price at a certain amount. However, there's no way to accurately predict how the market will affect their share price. The reason free-market economy works is because prices are difficult to predict. If they were easy to predict, then everyone who knew how to do it would be insanely rich (think top .0000001%).
