Here is the link to a picture of it : LEVEL 6 ENGINE
Any ideas on what it might be worth? I'm on shadowfire and looking to sell if anyone is interested.

somethings fishy.
Lookin at the mass, it would have to be a level 6 engine.
A prenerf L6 engine is 92 speed, RE's out to be about 95.9 speed. This engine is NOT the prenerf reward engine. Furthrmore the name of the engine isn't the correct name anyway.
Unless this person looted an engine sometime when JTL was first launched that exceeded the prenerf reward - which might be possibly, but unlikely in an L6 engine.
Whats really missing in this screenshot is the RE level. Id like to see what RE level it is, if it still has one at all.

If that picture is genuine, that engine is pricless. It can still be RE'd, so it's absolutely freaking priceless.

I believe it. I've got a couple level 2s from the early days that are around 77-80 speed, and I know a guy with an un-RE'd 8 that's at 100 (not to mention those couple of people out there with the 120-speed level 10s), so I can see a great level 6 being up there. The Mon Cal Improved model is a level 6, too, so there's a bit of extra credence.
In which case, I'd agree with Ducimus in saying that one's pretty much priceless.

yeah this is definietly the real deal...just took the second screenshot in response to the post...so any ideas on pricing? I know the servers economy has something to do with it, but just looking for a ballpark figure to work with.

You have so many variables on pricing that engine.. heh.
On bria, i wouldnt be at all suprised if this engine started at 10 million if it was put on auction. Probably higher considering BS ace helmets have gone as high 20 million.
Your looking for a certain kind of buyer though, not everyone will realize the value of this engine right away. But those that do, would snatch it up in a heartbeat.
If it were me, id never sell it. That engine there will be a monster in PvP. You can't put a price on it. No amount of cash will ever get you another one, you can't get engines like that anymore, and it will far exceed most anything in space when properly RE'd.

RE that along with better Y/P/R rates and you'll have yourself something more precious than Golems ring.

what would be the PYR numbers I should be looking for when gathering new engines to RE? i have some in the 64s...should I look for higher than that or are 64s good?

To be honest, with an engine that good, I'd keep collecting them until I got a truly amazing YPR engine.
Nothing under 70 would be good enough for that beast

HOLY MOTHER OF ..........10,000,000
I have several engines thathave similar YPR tothose stats. high 60's (65-67 range)
I looted them right after JtL launched.
One of them is in my Kimo mining ship.
I had no idea they were worth that. I just saved up every part that I could use later. I have over 100 pre nerf components.
I am at work right now so no pics
