Dev please change market board

[Zigkid3]

I'm so tired of how market board works people being able to see your price listen every 1-5 minutes someone undercutting you driving price even lower. Example is Mahi Mahi place up 2k some ass sides to undercut by 1000 placing it to 800. So for weeks my stuff won't sell unless I go lower become the new price. So please Dev change it! I tired of undercutting of this level

First of all this should go in the markets and retainers subforum.
Second of all, you dislike the market....for being a competitive free market?.....Okay...

How DARE someone sell something for a lower price than me! SE, pls control the markets!

More seriously... not that the MB couldn't be improved but decreasing transparency and pricelocks aren't the solution.

Know your markets. Do your homework. I pull in quite a bit of money from them even after pricewars. Example/free advice: Some markets, buyers pick up huge batches. So I can list something 20~30k above the lowest entry (or more) and it will still sell. Player peak times play a role in every market. Learn the tendencies of the markets you have a stake in, or would like to have a stake in, and you can rake in the gil.

Check the sell history. How is the demand? How many Mahi Mahi get sold in a day? If it is many Mahi Mahi and you are not too much down in the price list, keep your old price.

You don't have to be the lowest price on the board. You don't have to sell first. If ten items are selling per day, and your price is in the top ten, then you are fine. If enough new items are being put up per day that your item gets forced out of the X per day sales, you need to understand that the market for that item is collapsing - too many are being put up for sale, and not enough people are buying. Either save your item and sell later when the market is more stable, or accept your losses and sell at a huge discount to get it out of your hands.

No its not forum police.

You will get much better information as to why the MB is not broken and etc there. Just like you will get much better indepth information about tanking and etc in the tanking forums compared to posting in the general forums.

As for the OP,The markets are just more competitive because everyone is able to compete fairly in the markets.

someone sold NQ millioncorn in MB for 1k each. they normally sell for 300.the only reason this happedned is because there is no corn being sold at all. i put HQ up for 1k and NQ for 600. if someone puts it back at the normal prics, and thees enough of it, ill change my prices.

what im trying to tell you is, pay attention to the market, and if the only thing you can do is sell the regularly higher priced items, then you fail as a business person. someone was able to make 6k from one lv 25 node, because he watched the market. put yours up for cheaper, if you want, and look at the amounts being sold for other items. dont be fixated on on e item because it normally sells 2k each, and ignore the 300gil millioncorn because it sells for 300.

Disagree. There are more eyes in the general forum, therefore quicker replies. But there's always "that guy" that has to quip "thish ish not the correct forum for thish topic, psshak'" or "this topic has been discussed in the following 12 links over the past year."

Just like you will get much better indepth information about tanking and etc in the tanking forums compared to posting in the general forums.

Agree, for topics that are have more depth.

I hate to be that guy but if the market board worked like it did in XI, it'd fix the problem of undercutting to some extent.

Nope. If there is current quantity & a lot of recent activity, I still set my AH prices lower than the last sold price. I would rather have my product sell fast & first.
