Whenever I've got something to sell I undercut for the quick sale and continue to ignore the marketboard until the next thing I can undercut. All I care about is that I get a decent enough chunk of gil out of it for the times I have to spend a quick 100k on one thing or another. I had enough gil to buy someone else a full set of Neo Ishgard armor, on top of the full set I already owned, when the average piece ranged anywhere from 150k to 300k a pop, and that's while barely getting involved into the marketboard economy at all.

Not to mention the fact any gil gained from the MB economy was farmed by other players to begin with. It's a valid way to make money, but not everyone is gonna give much of a damn about stabilizing it when most of us just need enough to get by to do what we need to do.
Oh it’s fine that you don’t want to stabilise the economy. But by undercutting by so much and actively destroying the economy you effectively hurt yourself, hence my saying it was stupid. It is.

Put it this way.... pretend we’re talking about real money here. You have made something that you can sell for £8000. It may sit in your storefront for a few hours but you make £8000 profit. Or you can put it for £50 and the first person to walk past your shop will bite your hand off for you.

This is the situation yesterday. There was no supply and demand issue, just a time it takes to sell issue. So effectively they valued an hour or twos wait as 7,500. It’s stupid, there’s no justification unless they really desperately needed 500 right that moment.
