The markets, stalls, price listing and undercutting. (A suggestion)

[TheVedis]

Go ahead.

No one is telling you not to do this.

Just don't come crying you got undercut like you don't understand how economics work.

That's all that's been said here really.

im not complaining, other people in here are

undercutting is a natural part of every MMO economy

again, supply and demand

if there are 50 lances up for sale, people will undercut alot more trying to get theirs sold vs the 49 others
if theres only 5 for sale, people probly wont be as worried about it

and massively selling something lower like perigrine said doesnt mean his price is right, just means hes giving people a better deal


if people are willing to pay for something, they are willing to pay for it, thats it eh only thing that matters in the economy

you guys are really quick to insult today, perhaps its time for you to go outside and get some fresh air

I never said you were complaining and I'm not insulting you.

You're bringing up a new question that no one cares about - is it ok to take advantage of buyers who do no market research and just want something now, now, now! Yeah, go for it. Have a blast. Just be aware someone will come along and put up gear for reasonable rates.

This is exactly how this whole thread started - so I was pretty much talking to the original QQers. Not you. Don't take everything so personally. People want to make a profit, take advantage of low supply, or whatever and then are butt hurt when someone else thinks the value of the item should be lower or wants to move their goods faster. Wah.

i wasnt the one who brung up taking advantage of people with high prices
im just commenting on WHY those prices are high(and thats cuz people are in fact willing to pay them)

i wont lie, i do undercut alot myself though
and i do it on purpose

2 months ago ash longbows went for 250k on besaid, i saw this, saw how easy they are to make(cost me maybe 10-15k a bow)

so i made 50 of them
in the first day i sold 5 of them for 200k each
then the undercutting started, i already made my money back and then some so i didnt care
the price, within a week was down to 50k
by then, all my bows had sold

was this wrong to do? hell no
its supply and demand, when there werent many bows up, they went for alot more then when i flooded the market lol

people need to get used to undercutting in general
its the natural order of all MMO economies until you hit the bottom end

also, leveling recipes will never sell worth a damn so people need to get over trying to profit on those too
