    As long as that 7k is enough more than market price of the materials to net what you consider a reasonable profit, then no, you aren't a low-life even though you are undercutting. But if you sell it for less than the market value of the materials then you are NOT making a profit, even if you farm all the materials yourself. That last part is important and something a lot of people just can't see, to understand. If the market cost of the items you've gathered is greater than the price at which you sell the finished product then you would have been better off just selling the materials and not bothering with the crafting.

    Edit: I know the poster I'm replying to did not mention materials being 'free' as some others have said. I'm just clarifying the difference between sensible undercutting and, well, stupid undercutting.
