I do undercut because I judge the prices welllll overpriced, I also undercut when I see zillions of the same material selling at the same price and since I want to sell it I place the price a bit below, I generally I am not at a loss, all I would price is my time...material doesnt cost me anything or so little that by the price I sell is welll a profit, since I can craft basically everything myself. I am not sure why people consider their price a better price then this of other ?

If I want to undercut I undercut, if I dont want to undercut I dont undercut, if I want to over price I overprice, although it happens nearly never unless I have no reference price. Why to cry over virtual money ? why to be greedy ? silly at best...patience is a virtue, and if your stuff doesnt sell well dematerialise it...or dont build it or keep it, or even better, donate it (if possible).

It's a fact of life. People want instant gratification to the point that they will hurt themselves without even thinking about it just to get their money now, instead of waiting a few hours and getting 5x more.

We'd hurt ourself if we cared to make 5x more but we don't... not everyone is obsessed with being rich in a game. I undercut because I feel like it, I have enough money to buy everything I want and I don't really care to make more, so I will price things at whatever I feel like in that moment. Sometimes I put it at the same price as everyone else, sometimes I undercut by a gil, sometimes more. I just don't care. And it's getting to the point where I will undercut just to see these threads pop up because they are hilarious. More entertainment than any amount of gil could give me lmao.

It inflates ten fold.

Yes, precisely.

And?

You should read my post more thoroughly, I benefit greatly from this instance, and I strike down others who attempt to do the same as me.


I'm honestly not so ruthless in anything else but the gil- if that means anything at all to you.

I undercut all the time. Do I care what people think? Nope, not a f*** is given that day or any day. I especially undercut necessity gear if it is truly overpriced. Something like the nutkin I will post as the same price because I don't see it as a necessity .

I don't see a problem with under cutting.

It's been a part of mmos for years and it's not going to change.

Gardening is a close market due to limited house available now.

I'm in the gardening market and I mainly sell two types of seed.

Of these, one had in my server a nominal price of around 120k per piece.

Being a close market, you wont see more than 4 or 5 seeds being sold per day. But the supply is also low. So there's big downtimes between a sold seed and not.

I usually undercut the last seed priced by 1 gil. This makes my seeds the first to buy before someone else undercuts me. Being a product that's sold by no more than 10 players you would imagine people understood that this is a good strategy, and that even if you undercut your seed a LOT you wont sell more than 4-5 per day.

Yet, there was a day where two or three of the sellers kept undercutting them by 5 to 10k each, without ANYONE buying the seeds. So they devalued their market for NO REASONS other than being stupid.

Now the value of the seeds is around 70k and it's still going down and down, 'cause yeah it's easier to undercut by 5k instead of 1 gil yeah?

Yes, all the undercutters are stupid for not being obssesed with a virtual currency in a video game.

You know, some people just dont care? Its not like its real money. Personally im just looking to clear my inventory. And I think some prices are wayyyy overpriced. So yes im going to undercut. Call me stupid, but its the stupid who gets the money in the end XP (and a clean inventory )

@Razzle

In a very glose market like gardening (not many players have access to gardening), you can undercut how much you want, you still wont sell more than the demand.
And know what? That 100k seed you're selling, it's an investment to make 1mill worth seeds. So who's buying them is making more and more money off you.

Anyway, if you keep undercutting obsessively your goods even if ur not selling them, you are the one obsessed with gil gains.

I keep selling my stuffs befere them, but they devalued the market too much. Eventually I'll have to move to another seed.

<sarcasm>Oh dang why didn't I think of that. It's always been done so there's no problems guys. I should use this on anyone who's ever been discriminated against.</sarcasm>
