Idea against Undercutting at the Marketboard (The next.. )

[Stihllodeing]

Do you work for IRS?

No.

If you're being undercut, then you were overcharging for that item anyway. If you truly weren't (but most of the time you were), then the undercuter is an idiot. Buy his item, sell it at your price and profit.

The only thing worth reading in this statement is "buy and resell". The majority of it is full of ignorance and narrow minded.

excuse me ? Just how inflated is a price worth 2 or 3 times the materials needed ? If not 10 or 20 times ?

Just look at the most recent example : relic upgrade items. Is 2m the fair price for something that costs at most 200k to craft ? (furnace ring)

Or the armoire before that : price at 5m for 400k worth of materials ?

Saying that crafters are practicing abusive pricing is not ignorance or being narrow minded. It's just seeing the real worth of items. And when you're pricing too high, you'll be undercut and it will be fair.

From what I can tell, most people take the lowest price on the list, say 350K for an Ehcatl Sealant, and lower the price by 1-100 gil to make their listing more likely to be bought. A lot of players don't overprice things on the marketboard when they're aware of the lowest price, they'll either take or barely undercut the lowest price to keep money coming in while at the same time almost guaranteeing a sale.

Not everybody overcharges everything by grabbing the high end of the scale, a lot of players will be taking the low end of the scale for a measure. The problem is when there's a giant hole between the previous selling of an item that has 15 different listings and the newest one, such as a 10K drop on an item that's already having the lowest price at 35K.

And not everyone are selling the item at the fair price. I understand that some people are selling items for cheap. It's their loss if they are selling it without profit. However, without undercutting, everything on mb will be extremely expensive.

Open your mind. Try to understand other people.
Imagine if clusters cost 1,000,000,000 each at mb? What will you do?

You are forgetting that time = money. Those people that took the time to level their classes and their desynth.

I kinda don't understand what you are trying to convey with this....

But if you are stating that leveling classes is in anyway difficult, I'm going to disagree. Same with desynth (even though I am aware there can be difficulties w/ the RNG in desynth and getting high enough to desynth ilvl 90+ items), you can literally camp the MB and desynth in one fell swoop. Furthermore you can level desynth while leveling characters through leves or dungeons...

If that is not what you were trying to imply, then I need a bit more information in order to respond better to your post.
