Undercutting

[dragonfire8974]

Did I say anything about fixing undercutting? If you had read any of my posts, I didn't say anything about fixing undercutting. My big deal is undercutting by massive amounts for no good reason (like in the OP's example). Also, the post you quoted was a (failed) attempt at hyperbole to show that saying "we've always done it" is not a good reason to excuse any kind of behavior. Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of supply and demand (read my earlier post? lol). I feel I've already addressed this.

I did read, and I understood your hyperbole, and i'm not looking to chastise you for it. In fact, i agree on that point. My point is undercutting for 'no good reason' is probably due to someone wanting to get rid of an item, and thus is a supply and demand issue. someone has more supply than they would like, and thus they will lower the price to create a more immediate demand.

EDIT: Seriously... I got the point of that quote and I thought it came across well because it is absurd reasoning to think that 'we have always done it' is a good justification for anything and is still used today to screw some people... /digression
