    I undercut. Here's the typical scenario:

    I want the most gil, so I undercut by 1 gil. During peak hours I will do this several times an hour. If I encounter an active undercutter who is matching me hour by hour, I will start cutting by 10-20% a pop. The other player typically keeps on cutting me by 1 gil. So this goes on long enough and the other player gets mad. That's when the fun starts. Most of the time, they give up and either stop undercutting or take their items off the market. BUT for a real treat, the mad people will sometimes start trying to out undercut me! They bottom out their prices by sometimes 80% off the original price. Enter my trollface.jpg moment -- I buy it all and put it right back up for my original price.

    Free market -- my suggestion is to not undercut me. Sucks, but I'm talking about HUGE PROFITS.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it
    Supply/demand, how economy works.

    OP
    Too greedy and want more profit, please fix it.

    The above is the reply that should end this discussion. There is no /real/ problem. This is a free market of virtual items using virtual currency. If you disagree, please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market

    EXACTLY. Also, beyond houses there's almost no need for currency in this game anyway. It's just there to 'be there'

    Props. I don't have the patience for that. But mad props man. One flaw, some one could come by and gobble it all up before you get a chance too. But that's the risk you take I suppose.
