Overflowing stupidity

You are missing the point of that example:

Tomb mats do sell a lot faster than crafted items.

In the example the mats total market value was 200k, the finished item undercut to 150k.

Regardless of if the 150k finished item sells faster than the other crafter's 250k item, the undercutter is still in effect losing 50k easy profit, by not just selling the mats.

The fact he farmed all the mats himself is irrelevant, while the 150k may be "pure profit", it's still a minimum 50k loss on the gil potential and a senseless move on his part.

This is why I generally just up the tomb items and sell those... but if someone was stuck with inventory, they might cut the price to recover their investment.... especially if it has been sitting a while.

Frankly, the amount of time to farm the tomb mats isn't worth the marginal upgrade of crafted gear... and the more people that have comparable gear and collect myth stones... the less valuable that crafted gear becomes.... there are lots of factors as to why crafted stuff gets junkier and junkier with time.

Even so, better to cut your losses then have an overpriced inventory item that collects dust...but maybe someone made the junk, because -hey they leveled crafting and want to make the high level stuff at least once... even if it is junk.

(Don't forget the mats also fluctuate... if those dropped massively, it might have made sense to slash price on the finished product)
