    Wow, no crap. That's exactly it. lol. This guy undercuts this guy and that guy undercuts that guy. It doesn't take much to understand how a cycle like that destroys prices. You make it sound like there are just two people selling at one time, the guy selling it at the sales history price and the guy undercutting it by 50%. Not the case most of the time. But those outliers reduce the price by a lot, and then get undercut by a few gil, then they undercut by another large amount, etc. Yeah I'm making exaggerations, assumptions, call it what you will, but you've done the same as well. The point is, there's almost never any reason to undercut by a vast amount, regardless of the "opportunity" it creates for other sellers. lol.
