Like others, I tend to list my items at the current low price, or if none are on sale, close to the last price that it sold for, marked up a little bit. I took advantage of Intelligence potions for the BLM burn parties and made enough money to cover the investment of materials off my initial sales. Then some guy kept undercutting me. My price dropped gradually from 25k to 10k per potion (which was already high since they were only hi-potions) since I was willing to keep going lower since my initial investment was already recovered.

Sillyness... If i'm not making 500k/hr then its not worth my time.

and then people with bots will sell there's for 1 mil and continue botting and people actually playing the game will quit gathering or crafting or worse, quit the game. but who cares right? 2.0 is going to solve everything.../sigh

Because botting is the source of all of Eorzea's woes, right?

The irony of course is the richest and most successful people in the game don't even bot.

The irony of it all is m ost of the richest and "most successful" people exploited Necro pages and uses (or used) Moetoy to "get around horrible game mechanics"..aka botting lol. People who said they didn't bot or exploit necro pages and "just know how to play" were always found to be lying because when SE patched necros those who didn't already max out all classes suddenly could no longer plow through levels.

Kinda funny huh? :P

Alrighty, then.

There was a quite thorough discussion of undercutting located here.
