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.
If the market is able to be collapsed so easily then it wasn't all that stable to begin with. The price was being artificially inflated by an unspoken agreement between sellers to not really compete on the price.

What you're trying to advocate is to have more people participate in noncompetitive selling practices in order to keep your own profits high.
