Elasia's Mass Manufacturing 3 Star HQ Macros

[scarebearz]

Everyone has different market tactics, it is just how aggressive you wish to be. Especially with 3 star I have no problem pushing prices to cost price just to compete. In the end, with more money and a better crafting rotation, all I need is them to break or nq a few items and they won't compete with me again.

They do indeed, but some tactics are much more profitable than others xD

What you said is fine if the competitors are the ones driving the prices down with silly undercuts, I too have followed such people down to ensure they break even when their items do sell.

But in a new market to drop prices to near cost as the sight of any competition is folly in my opinion.

This depends on whos cost... on my server at least im the only one that even really bothers getting dedicated suppliers at rates far lower than the mb atm... my cost is not my competitors base cost for the most part... I don't really get that as there used to be 10-15 competitors looking to buy 2 star materials in rev back in 2.0, for a large part this is where I really make the gil as I simply have better buying arrangements vs needing to have huge sell margins

To my mind it's still a gil potential loss xD
