Marketboard insanity

Talk about crashing the market on something... wowzers.

I mean, its something I want, so yay me for bargain prices but... wow.



No wonder the economy is sooooo borked. I know people want their stuff to sell first, but dropping nearly 200k in one shot seems.... stupid beyond all reason??

Maybe I just dont get it, but oh well, saves me a fortune.

Sometimes, the highest listing and the lowest listing are listed by the same player. ^^;
Anyway, if it worths $680K, why not buy it for 499K and resell at 599K?

So, for the people saying just buy out and reprice higher, here's a small tip from someone who makes effort to control markets: if someone wants to crash a market, they can and they will. End of story. You buy out my cheap item? I'll put up another at the same price. Do this a few dozen times and guess who wins? I can tell you it's not the person who now has a few dozen items they need to get rid of.

It's great for the consumers, of course, but it makes for an absolutely miserable environment for crafters (who don't have the capital or patience to play the undercut war).

If someone have so many supply for much lower price, why that item could be listed for higher by you?

It can't, which is my point.

Thanks, got yout point.
In some cases, I think the "profit" for crafting is the 3000craft main tool... so that's why I often find crafting product selling cheaper than the mats. ^^;

I undercut, and if you're crying about 400k+ sales... you really need a reality check. Free market is free =3.

No offence, just want to mention, usually the sellers should have better sense than buyers how hard to obtian the listing item.
Market board is a place for trading. Players can just trade for profit, if someone says something is selling seriously below its value, why not buy it first?
If he can't make profit by this trade, I guess possibly that item is not really selling below its value seriously. ^^;
