Feels like a little bit of an exaggeration. I use the market board a lot and while price drops and rises do happen, I dont see to many radical 75% swings. Ultimately the market comes down to supply and demand. It sounds to me that you may be setting your prices to high when there is to great of a supply in the market.

I usually sell stuff within hours of listing it. I usually pick a price point that is 10 to 15% below the market and my stuff sells quickly. So something that I would sell for 5,000 gil I would usually sell for 4,300 gil, and it almost always sells quickly. Granted sometimes undercutting makes it "not worth it", but if the extra 10% is the difference between it being "worth it or not" then you are probably selling the wrong items in the first place.


EDIT: Thought I would also add that prices always drop in mmos before new expansions come out. Hope that helps! :P When the expansion does come out expect 300% price increases! lol
