Overflowing stupidity

[ApolloGenX]

E.g. I used to check history for who had been buying tomb mats, out of curiosity. I've often seen new crafter's buy mats for a 18 mat item (560k in at the time + 15k for other mats). Craft the item that sold slowly for 900k (back then), then undercut their competition by 100k a time until around 500k.

Maybe they saw it listed at ridiculous prices and thought it was selling for that much... but once they actually made it realized that no one is buying it for those rip off prices because it is junk and lowered the price to the cheap level it should be at because those products are junk. At that point, they probably realized they overpaid for those tomb mats, because they are used to make junk and got out of the market.

Meanwhile, someone has stuff listed at 900k that is junk, but it might eventually sell to a gil buyer - if no other junk is listed at a better price.

Not surprisingly, at some point -said ripoff lister- comes to the board complaining that they got some kind of temporary ban because apparently they were involved with a transaction related to gil buyers....either that or is here whining that prices get slashed on this kind of junk and they aren't selling for those ripoff prices anymore.

Eventually, the tomb mats prices fall, the marginal upgrade junk prices fall... and everyone moves on except the people that were charging outrageous prices, who curse the "undercutters".
