If you aren't making profit in one market, move to another. Ideally, things will have narrow profit margins.
Blind bidding is bad because it doesn't allow people to see what the actual market looks like, and no one can make proper decisions and it would hurt market efficiency and cause large price gaps.

A lot of these threads seem to be made by people who feel they are entitled to large profit margins.
Checking market is easy. But

For finished products, People undercut far too quickly and too much, regardless of what the market for the item at the time of posting. Within an hour or 2, you find your item going from profitable to worthless. To make any profit off them, they require constant micromanaging of prices, plus a stockpile cash to buy all the stupidly price items below yours.

Its the same with Mats, but they move more quickly, or people just buy and re-list them more often.

I have read quite a few most from under-cutters on other forums, they seem to come mostly in 3 types, the Jerks(who just want to tank the market, make people lose money and read about them complaining about it) , the Stupid (who think the default price listed is the suggested market price and not the NPC buy-back price) and people in a Hurry(they just want to move the item, with no care of what they get back, even if they can dump it at a vender for more)

A market where most times you get more money by pulling the item and selling it to an NPC, is not healthy.

Though I don't see going to blind bidding as an improvement.

Maybe limit the ability reprice/relist to once a day and raise the default price to what a NPC would sell the NQ version for.
