i wish they could add that people cant remove the items when you post it for a a period of time.

why would this need to be a thing? that would mean I can't access my retainer for X period of time after posting an item for sale. what if I forgot to send my retainer on assignment or what if I remember there was a piece of gear/ item I wanted to grab?
The only way this could even start to be a thing is if they made accessing your retainer not equal stopping the sale of items. I think what you may really want, whether you know it or not, is for the connection between accessing your retainer and items being for sale to be removed.

I wish people would check the dates on posts instead of digging up old bones to gnaw on. ._.

Not like this thread's topic is "expired". The market board is still the same.

At least the guy (girl?) did some thread searching instead of making a thread clone. Kudos for that.

Actually, the person who necro'd the thread is the OP. They probably remembered their post and decided to readdress it is all.

Have you considered you get undercut so hard because you overprice even the smallest of things?
Vanya was 5 - 10 million at release.
Arachne gear is 5 - 10 million at 2.4 release.
people charging 100 - 200k for an i55 NIN wep JUST because its required for NIN Relics.

I hate everyone who plies the MBs for this reason.

people dont realize this no... they DONT realize the mats cost or other cost (good example is anything that uses coke) and what REALLY happening is you are not getting undercut, it is the MARKET setting the price, kinda like a reverse auction. ( i know the silly undercutting thing happens ) but it is not always this.

I have been trying to sell a HQ vanya hat of healing that my retainer brought back for about a month now... and so has 6-8 others. we started around 250k i think (cant even remember now lol) and i think were down to 80k now. YES we have been undercutting each other this WHOLLLE time but its not brought on by greed but supply and demand. No ones gonna buy whats basically a glam item at that price we started out at so they will lower in price (big and little jumps) until people do think it is worth it. so, on the outside it just looks like undercutting but really its called supply and demand... the basics.

So what you're saying is, You're attempting to sell something for a ridiculous price that cost you a grand total of what, 2 Venture Tokens?

Its nothing to do with supply and demand. Its all about greed. No one sets a price because they think its 'reasonable', they set it because they hope some rich guy will dump the cash for it because he can.

In the case of the new 110 stuff, i seriously doubt the cost of those mats to be 10 MILLION GIL. You know, the price of a friggen HOUSE.
Greed is the biggest factor, supply/demand is a barely remembered whisper in the backs of peoples minds.
