How is the Market on your NA server doing?

Well those flax were soon bought up and put back on for a higher price.

Would be better if severe undercutting wasn't so rampant. Seems like I can't list an item anymore without the price crashing 15 minutes later.

Ever consider that maybe other people value an item different than you?

Ever consider that maybe other people just want to keep themselves at the top of the list; and they don't care about profit, they just want to sell fast?

Yes, and they are willing to sell it for that price in order to do so.

That is not the point.
The point is that they are playing dirty, cause they are losing money to sell fast while stoping the sales of everyone else, and thats the doom of the free market system.

Even tough you can flip the market, in this game that wont do, cause in 5 min someone will be undercutting again...

This game economy needs a controled market, it cant be that everyday each hour of farming is worth less and less.

I wish we could access market info without logging in.

I am on Famfrit and the markets are very screwy. I know everyone wants to make money, but I'm having trouble understanding why Why WHY people are selling higher level harvested/mined goods at lower prices than lower level goods? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the HIGHER level? I saw level 40 harvested item X selling for 5 gil each, then saw level 5 harvested item Y for 50 gil!!

Its called supply and demand. Low level mats are no longer being farmed to meet demands and high level mats are being over produced of what is demanded. Its very simple.

Gilgamesh is doing alright, I guess. I can sell most ilvl50 Goldsmith crafts for around 5k or so, assuming they're HQ. The ilvl55 stuff goes for upwards of 18k HQ, and they're not too bad. What really killed my personal market was the tome drops in WP. I was making a killing off of Bloody Grimoire Bindings, and the Erudite Picatrixes I could make with them--upwards of 40k for the bindings and 60k for the Scholar weapon. Now? Bindings are sometimes selling for less than their vendor amount, and the SCH/SUM pre-relics are selling for less than 10k.

I should've expected it, so I really have no one to blame but myself, but it still sucks. I really wish people would stop undercutting so much. Is it so hard to realize that if there is a demand for a good, it will sell? The moment you drop the current price of 10,000gil to 5,000gil you essentially cheated yourself out of 5,000gil. And for what? A quick sale? Screw that.

People are undercutting because they are getting the mats to level up and want to get rid of them... I just don't see why they are selling items on the board at 1gil when they could sell it to an npc and get there 99 gil instantly... Last time I checked you cant get a retainer unless your in a town... Personally I have been selling toad leather at about 575 and making a decent profit, I was selling aldgoat leather until all the undercutters came in and crashed the market... Was making 525 off aldgoat leather then the under cutters came in and now its about 225... My strategy changed to a different product and unfortunately thats all you can do...
