Lets Talk About UNDERCUTTERS!!!!

[Sylve]

Same. Undercutting by a gil is a jerk move, and I always avoid buying items from people who do so, and refrain from undercutting by 1 or a few gil myself too.

I undercut by 1gil only so that my entry is the first one on the list. Technically the cheapest, but depending on the city the buyer happens to be in ... ! gil undercuts are fine. Yours will still sell to someone who dodges the tax, and even if mine sells before yours, you dont have to adjust to match me because yours is automatically the lowest on the market.

Its funny that undercutting wars happen because "i want mine to sell FIRST!" So they list and relist and relist and relist until you hit 1 gil and suddenly it has no value.
if you get undercut by a vast amount, Leave it alone. Eventually someone will buy it.

What you are suggesting is basically price fixing and destroys the concept of a free market. Just deal with it, people can do whatever they want.

Inert value is part of free market, and so is not changing price, free market meaning do what you want. You could crash the market if you bought up the market and vastly undersold (or oversold) product that has high demand. Capitalism works, and in time will even rebound form such a crash. There is a reason India moved to capitalism and the UK is going back to capitalism (not to mention USA).

I would also like to say that when the prices have smaller gaps, everyone makes money. I put up a vanya coat i bought for 50k. relisted it for 150k. About a week later, someone else puts one up underneath it for 90k gil. Why? Why not 149,999 or a few gil lower. Why undercut yourself so harshley? Guess what, theyre 90k coat? Its still for sale. Retarded if you ask me.

Then both your prices are not low enough for the current market. What is wrong with trying to get your item to sell at all?

You undercut me, I crash the market. You can price match or you can get out. Deal with it.

If you want to spend a vast amount of gil to do that have fun. Undercutting is fine, and fair, do not see your great offense to it. I also forgot time if you wanted to crash lets say Dragon skins oyu would have to make sure to constantly buy out until only your underpriced items are on the list. I think the easiest thing, with enough money, would be to crash the ilvl 180 craft gear (if there is any lol).
