    tanking the market because you think itll sell ‘faster’ isn’t.

    if something is selling at 80k gil (and i mean selling, not sitting there), either price at 80k or 79,999. you make more money, the market doesn’t tank, everyone wins. people will ALMOST always buy the first one on the list anyways, regardless of if its insanely cheap or priced right at market value. you simply shoot yourself in the foot, as well as everyone else.
    Let's talk about that, tanking the market. There is no difference in under cutting and tanking the market. If I price according to the market price ( who decides this anyway?) And some one comes in and undercuts me I adjust my price lower. Competition good, so this person comes back and under cuts me again now I'm like okay why? So yeah it's gonna tick me off especially the same person doing it. So I lower my price again and the person does it again, yep I'm going to tank the market because now they are wasting my time because I have to watch the market boards. Sorry not sorry

    Position in the list doesn't matter that much. Checking once a day is fine. For items that have high demand, you may not have to even care. By undercutting so much that they won't undercut you anymore, you've screwed yourself more than you've screwed them.
