    I'm for a free market, but i think it should be good if you have to pay a 15% of the value of your item, if you remove or change the price of your auction, while your item price is not 30% above the lowest price on the market.
    That should limit constant undercuting and fix the whole problem.

    This way, you can still change your price if you're item is really above the market price, but you should not be able to undercut every 5 min.

    Even if it's a free market, buyer have to pay a fee to the auction house, and i don't see why a seller who constantly update his price and make them work every 5 min should not pay too.

    Then...you're not for a free market.

    My suggestion is to put a vendor price next the mat price when putting it up on the AH. This might get people to say, whoa, what's the point of selling this so cheap. I can get more from the vendor. This would make it so there is less supply under the vendor value and therefore bring prices to a more stable point.

    It is my belief that most people just want to clear inventory and don't care about the prices. If they found out they could sell it to the vendor for more, in a more convenient way, it would probably help stabilize prices.
