Please Squeenix, implement blind bids on the markets...

And is that 50% undercut the minimum price you would want for the item? Also why would you drop it by 50% when you could often achieve better results by trying 85% first? While you may see it as worthwhile, you also give yourself no wiggle room to account for people that further undercut you. Stores do the same thing, it is actually rather rare that they are not making a profit off of even their sale items, and when they do loose profit on an item on sale, they are trying to get you into their store to buy more than just that one item. When was the last time you found drastic price differences on an item for sale by businesses in the real world outside of sales?

The 50% undercut is not the minimum price that I would want. Hell, some of the stuff I would sell for 20% of the market rate. I sell for a price that I feel compensates me for the time/effort that I spent acquiring the item. Could I just sell for 85%? Sure! It would probably not sell as fast, and where do you draw the line on "legitimate"? 85%? 80%? 75%? See where I am going?

It's the same damned thing in the real world, with the libtards saying that the rich aren't taxed enough. How much should the rich be taxed? 50%? 80%? 99.9%? The problem is jealousy, and the answer is "tax them so much that they have less money than I do"... and the answer is incorrect.

Usually I sell for a price halfway between my desired minimum and the market price. If people undercut me, oh well, I can re-list.

As for profit, exactly how much do you think it costs me per item when I mine/harvest/fish something up? Think about it long and hard.
