And besides, even if I did that, many closed-minded people would just draw whatever conclusions that fit their narrative anyway. I recommend you try looking into it yourself. Look beyond just the one sale where you undercut by 50% and something sold quick.

    And I'd love to see the "citations provided" for any of the "undercutting by thousands of gil is better" posts. Since the only thing lacking more than those citations are the thought processes that arrived at such conclusions.

    I just love your passive aggressive attitude, followed up by no sources. I gave my opinion on how I see peoples spending habits, based upon my experience in the sales I've made over 4 years and being gil capped twice over. But I'm sure I clearly have no experience or knowledge! It must have been luck! But no, I won't be discussing my thought process with you. You're clearly emotionally invested in the markets, and my undercutting will continue at my discretion. Buy my items or plan on selling elsewhere.

    Not offering a detailed proof of why your method is better yet demanding it from others while blindly accepting blanket anecdotal evidence from those that support your narrative? None of that is surprising. But let's be honest here. If I actually spent the time (months) to prove this again, some people would simply state "I don't agree because I believe something different." If we were talking the real-world economy, an effort like this would actually matter. But it doesn't matter here.

    I'll Scrooge McDuck into my vault of gil and you can Scrooge McDuck into your vault of gil and both be happy about it.

    I wasn't stating facts. I was stating an opinion. You were stating facts, and have nothing to back them but excuses for why you can't provide a single source to back up your claims. It does not take months to provide a source for even one of your claims.
