Extreme Undercutting

[Gula]

Harlequin gear usually sells for 15-30k and today I found one person selling them for 1k....
What is wrong with you?

Is it good gear for its level? Does it offer any importance like anima turn ins or job quests? Used for crafting anything?

No?

Then it's taking up space and they want it gone.

There.

For me the new patch latest content wise a bit more than 3 days. I don't do any raids or dungeons if im not forced to storywise and the new beast tribe dont count because its something you cant finish just yet. I also see still no point in upgrading my DOL/DOH gear and will wait until there's a real need to upgrade it. Right now i still use a mix from 430/460 overmeld gear, of course i took a look at the new craftable stuff and i could still craft everything with my current gear.

I was hoping for new Ishgard stuff or something housing related like reenabling demo timer or adding new wards or something else but nada. All i do now is restocking my retainer and playing a twink or complete other game, right now there is not enough to do in this game if you dont like raids, savage and stuff like that. A new Eureka or Deep Dungeon would be nice. :/


Btw. If you want to make money, either do hunts or sell non mainstream stuff. It maybe sell slower and but the prices are more stable.

Admittedly, it does get to that point at times, at least for me. lol

Things sell for what they're worth- if they drop to 100 gil, you can either buy it all out and resell higher if you think it's too low, or accept that there's too much supply/not enough demand and that's put the price there.

I bought some of those and already sold few belts for 10k. 10x profit. Their loss

If any of you feel gil is useless and has no value, feel free to give it to me.

Your trash is my treasure.

It has aways been a problem, but its more intense this expansion because gathering and crafting became way more easy. On our server, the prices for the new crafting set went down from 50 mil for the entire thing, to 12 mil in ONE DAY. There ist just way more materials and also way more sellers than in previous expansions wich ofc causes fast pricingdrops.

The way I see it is an item is only worth what people are willing to pay. If an item hasn't sold in days while people are only dropping by 1 gil, then it's time to drop the price by a larger amount until you find a buyer.

If the item is worth more in your personal opinion, you are by no means obligated to lower your price to match or beat the undercutter. You won't make your sale as quickly is all. And if you never make your sale then the item simply isn't worth what you think it is.

New items, Quantity, Day of the Week. These are the three main factor to think about when selling on Marketboard.

Patch Day is the big money makers because new items mean rare with no stock. Everyone wants it, nobody has it.
Quantity is your basic supply vs demand. More stock, lower price.
Day of the week falls under quantity to a degree. During weekdays there is less stock so items usually can sell higher. Weekends is when everyone plays so you see prices fall during this time but items sell faster.

Personally I adjust prices on Friday and Sunday. I don't need money fast so I can leave items on the board and wait for stock to get lower. Sooner or later it sells.

This only works in a world with no 24/7 market bots.

they restock quickly, will always undercut, so your items may never actually sell unless there is a run on them. so, in this case, on my server anyway, you wouldnt need money at all then...
