I bought all 5 and resold for 100k.
I dont see an issue doing that to keep the market correct.
this only works to an extent

think of this, you just bought 5 for 60k

now people go in there, see them for 100k, see they sold for 60k, and decide to wait til they are 60k again....since they see a bunch sold for 60k not too long ago



also ive brung up this arguement before to those who are using gathering as a reason why they can afford to sell lower


if an item cost 30k in mats to make, but sells for 20k, you are not really making a profit by selling the item at 20k when you coulda sold the mats for 30k, so gathering your own items, while it is a way to keep your costs down, isnt a viable excuse for undercutting everyone in a market where the items are now costing less then the materials

do the math, 30k for materials, 20k if you craft them...if you care about money why are you crafting them and undercutting people
