I will then obtain a massive amount of the item in question, after doing all the research, thousands of them. The first step is to completely kill my competition. In a world where all of the products are the "same' and i can't provide better service or higher quality items, i am left with only price as my option. So, i crash the market. I sell 1000 or so of this item (obviously less for the really rare), for a lower rate, until people realize i undercut and start undercutting me. Then i undercut them again, and the battle begins.

Ladies and Gentlemen? Wal-mart is here.
