    Yes that's how prices drop slowly, which is understandable. But many times I see an item sell consistently for example at 100k. You look at sale history and see that the item sold ten times in last few days between 90k-110k. Then you look on mb and see it posted for 100k, and underneath those posted. 3 are posted for 25k. I know people want money fast, but to drop it an average of 75k is absurd. It would sell just as fast at 80k, n you get more money.

    Not really, I personally refuse to pay more than 75-80k for ANY gear item and will never pay more than 50k for a Glamour. Housing Items I have a budget of 150k tops. Some times items are priced to the point where they cost too much and THAT is why they move slow. If I see a gathering gear piece that runs for 100k+ on average drop to 25-50k how ever I snatch that up as fast as my controller can select the commands to do so.

    that only works sometimes -- like when the item is difficult or rare to obtain.

    Another thing I've noticed is that sometimes people sit at their retainer bell and camp the market prices. People like this will be undercutting every 5-10 minutes, and when there's more than one person doing that in the same market, you will see drastic price drops in less than a day (I've seen an item go from 90k down to 15k in less than 24 hours). Nevermind the fact that one sells every hour or so, these people *need to be that person that sells theirs first* regardless of how much profit they're losing from these aggressive behaviors.
