Now, my competition is gone, i have no competition, i am now the singular provider for this item on the server. Because of that, i can set prices however i want, generally this period will only last a few days or so, but for a few days, i can generally sell stuff for 10 or 20 times the original cost,
Selling for weeks at a time at a loss with high volume in order to try for big markups for a few days that will have little if any volume may occasionally come out ahead, but not usually. That strategy only works in situations with a high cost of entry, where eliminating your competition would actually mean something. In this game, where there is no cost of entry, and competition isn't eliminated but only put off temporarily while you're still selling at a loss, it won't help you. Your competition will be back again as soon as you try to take advantage of it being gone by raising the prices.
