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

[Zedd702]

I would agree. I don't think anyone would say it is.

I am curious however as to why 1 gil undercutting is such a bad thing in your opinion. So bad in fact, you think they should be taught a lesson.

1gil under-cutting is an insult to the original seller, who might've taken their time to price the item properly and competitively, and then some jerk comes along to post their item without reasonable thought or competitive pricing for a quick sell. It's one thing to under-cut competitively by 500 gil or a margin that would make taxes less, but 1 gil under-cutting is a lot of things, but nothing positive in my eye...

It's like someone relabeling "Fruity Pebbles" and selling it a penny cheaper in a local store rather than what the knock-off brands do with a total rename and "competitive" pricing. A single penny does not make a difference in competitive pricing, thus I do not buy items that are marked 1 penny/gil less than the next seller for that reason. And if the original seller ends up doing what the offender does by under-cutting the under-cutter by 1 gil, that's called stooping to their level, and therefore you'd get caught in the crossfire and your item maybe the one left in the dust. Post your items competitively... That's my point.
