Undercutting

[Squa11_Leonhart]

whats really stupid is when a seller puts up their crap for 1/2 the history sale price, ultimately killing any profit from it.

i don't care if you want to undercut, but do it while using your brain.

.... using your brain.

I think the brain should tell you that there is a really good way to double your money about now if you see something like that. 10 days ago, some clown did that with erudite picatrix of healing with the right mats melded and was selling it for 1/2 price. I bought the thing and sold for double that at 250K netting me 125K. I wish I can find more flip opportunities like that.

If the material/labour cost outweighs the selling price then I completely agree. But in this thread's case, it was a drop. Whether the undercutting guy sold it for 1.2 mil, 120k or 12 gil, it's still a profit. Was the seller oblivious of the worth of the item, maybe. Either way, profit is profit.

There's no "killing profit" in rare drops. Link between profit and loss only applies to crafted items.
