Leviathan Market

Let me start with by no means do I sit and watch our market for increase decrease whats hot or not. However I do sell on market every now an again.
Couple of things I have noticed with so much under cutting of price ppl our losing so much gil they could have made if not for wanting to sell item faster. 2nd thing why our ppl selling on market for 1 g gil so 99 gil for stack of 99. Again to under cut price another asking 2 gil. Now correct me if I am wrong but if quick sale is what your after any vendor will give you your 1 gil for your item / items wit h no wait. Hmmm market doesnt suffer you have extra retainer slot sounds
like a win win.
Now as far as price war no solution for that what i would like to see is matching of lowest price and some patients if it is a wanted needed item it will sell without loss but .... that wont happen. So crafters miners etc. Make your gil now with market trends that i have seen its gonna cost you gil to level your job.

Yeah, this! And don't say that you sell the items for 1 gil on the market instead of to the vendor to help other players, I don't believe that for one second. I'm guessing most people who sell for 1 gil do it to sell it quickly. And frankly, I don't see the point of that. It ruins the market, it ruins your economy.

Our market is no way reflects actual economy. Our market only reflects morons who don't understand what it means to make a "profit". No matter wat you say, in an economy people DO NOT sell things for less than the cost that it takes to create.

Some of the prices on Leviathan are absolutely atrocious.
No 1-star item should sell for less than 10k yet I see a lot of items like Armorer's Gown selling for 5-6k. And 2-star gear is only selling for 300k when on other servers, the same gear sells for millions.

For a while I was getting "lucky" by selling carpenter's gowns for 25k then some idiot comes along and puts five of them on the market for 13k each. What the hell!? Way to ruin the price of that item!

It's basically not even worth the effort to craft and sell these items anymore, given the time and cost necessary to create them in the first place.

Items sell for cheap because the mats are sold cheap. I see potash at 20-23k and rare mining nodes sold for under 200 gil. Two weeks ago they were being sold at 45k. Aren't they still selling for 65k+ on other worlds? The cost of crafting a two star item is relatively low.

I don't buy expensive mats because I have so many friends who will give me the mats for free. There is an abundance of crafters and gatherers on this server who are actual players and will craft two star items for free if provided with the mats. They find their niche in selling other items because at this point everyone already has or can cheaply make two star hq items.

Crafting gear and crafting materia sells very well. Often there is a shortage of these items on the market so demand is quite high.

The server is overrun with crafting bots. That's what happens.
