Those low prices on the market board...

[ValyrianBlood]

By posting for 1 gill less you are saying, "get to the back of the line I am more important". You aren't establishing a new price point. You aren't trying to maximize profits.



Destroy probably means they are willing to go down to a price that makes you wonder why you even put up. I had a few items where someone kept posting for 1 gil less. So i just kept dropping it by 10k. They never sold their stuff and took all of them off MB. Lots of junk on MB is venture stuff anyways. So it was zero investment and just the few seconds to click retainer. Spent more work repricing junk then actually getting it.

oooh ok, I never knew some ppl take the MB that seriously... and that undercutting by 1 gil is that bad as everyone seems to do it...I mean I just started to do it back in 2.0 bc everyone else did it, I never knew it's a serious matter for some folks
So y'all undercut SO MUCH just to spite the 1 gil undercutter?? I admit I'm not familiar with the ingame econimics very much but that seems rather strange

The spite undercuts usually occur after you play the 1 gil undercut game for a few rounds lol

well then they are making exactly the same thing as the undercutters they hate so much...?_?

Istg this seems so funny to me...I bet the ppl that are so serious about all this are filthy rich already bc they play the mb game so I don't get what's the deal abt 1 Gil

i dont think they really won. the only one who won is the customer. i bought cheap stuff from 3rd world server, and sell it for 300-500% profit in my own server. i dont even need time to gather it. the only thing i need to invest is analyzing other server MB, which i already done in the past. i can flood the board easily with certain mats if i want and cut everyone by half the price while making money. i got gil, people got cheaper stuff (not 1 gil cheaper lmao), while dominating the MB. such is the power of the great master race

You seem to be the best example: You say can make a lot of money and I bet u already have more gil than u can spend so why get so mad about 1 Gil?? It just seems really greedy
Living up nicely to the Lala stereotypes

1 gil undercuts are a waste of time for everyone involved. If two or more people are listing an item for 10k, but are willing to go down to 8k, they would have to go back and forth 2000 times until they consider stopping. And 10k is a very low price example. Stop wasting time and offer a better price

When I want "get rid" of things I'll go usually for about 10% less, but they are limited quantities as one piece or alike, nothing to break the current value of things.

1 Gil less, I found it so annoying. If I've to sell something I see listed a 1999, I sell at 2000 or 1800 if want get rid of the piece faster.

I try to undercut by 1 gil as long as I can until I just get tired of it, then it starts going by hundreds, thousands, then several thousands, or I just let it sit at the price and wait indefinitely. Sometimes that works too!

Cents need to be introduced in this game.

I don't care if they undercut by one gil. I will undercut by 5 and if there are priced items that are seriously low i'll buy and relist if it's a fast moving item if not I'll undercut the low price just to spite the person doing it.

Supply and demand. If something sells less than once a week and I keep getting undercut by 1 gil, I am nuking that goddamn price as soon as I can.

I'm not interested in making exorbitant amounts of money. I'm interested in making amounts of money I deem fair as a seller and as a buyer. I look at prices from both angles. Sure, that HQ level 10 staff may be selling for 60k once every month, but there are very few people interested in buying that junk for that price and you're helping the world far more by setting it at a more reasonable price where you can both profit and help a new player, which helps the entire game.

In many ways, I am like a god. I myself have the power to crash entire civilizations if I find them encroaching against the greater good. And I will. If you're selling something for far too much for far too long, your days are numbered and I will punish you. Money is worthless to me. Be warned.

Haha. HAaha. HAhaHaha! HAHAHAHA!!!

Gotta admit I start to see y'all point

I think we can agree some ppl are just trying to scam newbies who don't know any better...Sure there are veterans with gil who may be too lazy to craft themselves but such audacious prizes for low level junk I never saw before I transferred from Cerberus to Spriggan.

Sorry, the excuse that you're doing it for the buyers doesn't fly when the only thing that makes you help the buyers (tanking the prices) is someone undercutting, and you probably already undercut someone else to list your items in the first place. At least be honest and admit that this is born out of arrogance and selfcentrism because you can't handle someone else selling theirs before you. Where was the buyer friendly price in the first place when you listed your item, and why does it only come when someone just places their item 1 gil below yours and you decide to ruin it for everyone else selling that item.

Tldr: who died and made you white knight of the consumers, when your white knighting only comes out from hating that someone sells their item before yours and they're not even hurting your profit?
