UNDERCUTTING....

[Elexia]

who cares.. as long as i get rid of that crap on my retainer and the fastest and easyest way to do it is undercut by 50% or more.
If it ain't gone in a day .. then its too expensive.
Few gonna spend those rediculous prices some ask for an item , especialy when it's a lower level item you only use for a day or 2 untill you leveled up, and replace it with something higher.

Yeah, sucks for people actually trying to make gil. Even doing leves isn't a good source of gil anymore as they adjusted it (and barring the 100,000 leve history achievement one.) Some people actually gather and craft to...buy thing. Shocking I know. So while you don't care (which I guess is the mentality of a lot of people who play this game) others do it and it is quite annoying being undercut by a very large margin.

If you want to "just get rid of stuff" you do know there's literally hundreds of NPCs you can sell it to, right? Nothing is "too expensive" beyond the new materia which people seriously believe someone will buy for 1-4 mil for almost no upgrade in performance lol.

You clearly have no idea what the term free market means. Just because something is expensive, doesn't mean it is unaffected by free market principles (such as: luxury goods, equilibrium pricing, etc.).

Actually I do, and people obviously know the worth of some items that it's pretty much unaffected by a "free market" since prices for certain things, as exampled tier IV materia generally stay in the 100-500k range. If they're trying to compete with each other, don't you think people would drop it even lower rather than having basically a set price range for it? It's hard to compete when you're selling at the same price as your competition >.>

Since isn't a free market basically an unrestricted economy? You'd think people would be more likely to undercut certain luxury items atm (Lightning Brands and Tier IV INT/Lightning materia are basically luxury now.)
