How do you react to being undercut?

Very true. They pretty much can make a profit as long as it sells for more then 1 gil.

True to a point. I'm a level 50 miner and a level 37 botanist. Selling raw material that are worth less than 20 gil isn't worth my time. In fact even if it's worth somewhat more than that I have to consider how much time do I want to spend mining for myself, selling raw materials on the market to others, etc. Sometimes if I use the raw materials to synth HQ intermediate materials I can get a much better profit. But I still had to spend the time gathering the materials.

Also for things like goat skins, raptor skins, etc. You have to go out and kill them. That takes time to. Some days it seems like they drop a lot of skins and other times they drop junk like aldgoat chuck. The market for the chuck is so saturated, even for HQ chuck that I just discard it. lol

it holds true, as long as top gear is untradeable. the day high level drops will flood the market, raiding time will become more valuable

It doesn't bother me at all, I actually like to market boards alot. If I can I usually drop my prices 10% lower than the current lowest price. Its basic business. If it goes for super low, buy it up and dominate the market with a sensible price. or sell in bulk at a noticable price. if one item is going for 1000, sell 10 for 700. you still make decent money.

And this is why I can undercut as much as I like and not be bothered by it. It's all profit anyway. For ppl who get mad at ones undercutting by more then 1 gil, stop calling the kettle black, its just as bad if not worse. You are flipping off the person you undercut by 1 gil and the buyer doesnt give a shit if hes saving 1 gil, but he would appreciate 5k. My drastically underpriced item will disapear quick and ppl will resume normal price while you guys can drive it down by 1 gil til its worthless.

Anytime I see someone undercutting by 1 gil, it just makes me laugh. Im pretty sure that one gil isn't going to sway someones decision on a 5k item. I often buy the next higer priced item just out of principle. If you're going to undercut... undercut otherwise don't waste my time.

I do the same thing on big ticket items, and for that reason, I never respond to 1 gil undercuts.
