Whats the deal with Giant Potion Recipe?

Whats the real price of the giant potion recipe?
I saw ppl who selling for 200-300M (some says this is ridiculous) and other ppl offer from 30-50M.
Did they got real profit from selling the giant potions? I mean the sell it for 1.5-2M
Or someone explain me </3

@PwnedUrMom: If so, it's better to use the giant potions when you're being kill stealed. If it's being used to train, it's helpful a bit, but not as much.

Do the Math:
600 potions: 6,000 inter crystals, 6,000 mandarin seed oils, 3,000 brown powders.

-6,000 mandarin oils = 18,000 seeds x 10,000 mesos = [b]180m mesos. [/b] (198m mesos if you take on account that 10% of those will be brown powders)
-6,000 inter = 2.5 inter crystals per adamantium plate = 2,400 plates = 7,200 ores x 10,000 mesos = [b]72m mesos.[/b] (79.2m mesos if you take on account that 10% of those will be brown powders)

-6,000 oils + 2,400 plates = 8,400 * 0.1 = You get 840 brown powders for getting the plates and mandarin.

-The brown powders are worth 100,000 mesos each on the FM. So that's 2,160 x 100,000 mesos = [b]216m mesos[/b]

-6,000 oils + 2,400 plates = 8,400 / 30 fatigue potions = 280 fatigue potions x 100,000 mesos = [b]28m mesos.[/b]

A little less than [b]5m mesos[/b] for building materials, and inter bottles for the mandarin oils.

That brings us to a total of [b]501m-526.2m mesos[/b]. Now, each potion sells for 1.5m - 2m mesos. (If you are lucky, prices are dropping)

The total profit is: 900m - 1.2b.
The profit sounds good, but TBH it's too much work. The inter crystals alone it's the most tedious and boring thing to do. (Extract 2,400 plates by hand)

Of course you can buy some materials on the FM, but they are way more expensive and that means less profit. The other thing is that after you make the giant pots, don't expect the 1.2b just come flying towards you. It will take you weeks or months to sell those pot on the FM simply because it's not an important item like ws or protections scrolls.

I wanted to make 1,000 giant pots, but after months of getting the materials I'm giving up simply because it's too much work and investment. I ended up making 850 pots and they sell really slow even at 1.5m.

EDIT: Thins I'm not taking into calculations:

*If you don't have 2 computers, you will have to rely on Ch1 Arden extractors which can cost between 1 - 1,000 mesos each extraction.
*The bottles needed to make the Giant pots

150-300m for the recipe is a fair price.

It's really easy to get the recipe. Use a character from is from level 70 to 90 and train in Ariant. Some of the monsters drop it over there, same for the monsters in Elina forest, they drop the recipe as well.

OT:Many people like the giant potions, mainly the hene hoes will buy them since they find it fun. The recipe is rare, and only few will sell it.
