Undercut Hell

[Razzle]

Don't overprice and then you won't be undercut by so much pretty simple really

You undercut me by 1 gil, I'm going to undercut you by 1-10k, depending on the item's price. Not many things annoy me as much as a 1 gil undercut. If you want the price to stay at the current value, list your item below mine, not above it. Wait your turn.

^ This. The ecomeny works via supply and demand. Emphasis on DEMAND.

That is too predictable. Do it a few times and you are at 50% of your starting price.. guess what. Now it is a flip opportunity. By yours out and sell it for 2x, and then sell my own. All profit. Don't get emotional about pricing, it makes you lose money, in game and this is applicable to real life too.

BTW, The market does NOT believe in "waiting your turn" by the way. The player that puts in the effort to keep their prices current and always ahead by 1gil will be first to sell and that is because they put in the effort.

I make 5m gil in a day of selling. I don't care, buy it all you want.

And yet you cry about this...

... Not many things annoy me as much as a 1 gil undercut.

BTW it is not hard to make 5mil if you started with 10 mil. You can always lose gil easily enough.

Yes, because people undercutting for 1 gil want to sell their item first, yet they want it to retain their price. Pick one. Not both.

There ain't no price at current value, the value is set at the bottom by SE if you sell it to NPC.

Other stated to rebuy and resell if you want to keep on being greedy.

Economy in there is run by humans, and letting humans control stuff, ends up begin super nice (sarcasm)

If everything had a ceiling price, everyone could have access to everything, which is what I think a P2P should be.

Now they open the pandora box with their Cash Shop, let's play the waiting game to see how long they'll stay putting only glamour stuff or things that don't affect the game.

The value of a drop like a primal's item that's 0.00001% - is worth as much as your greed dictates.

For some, that could be 1 gil.. have fun undercutting that.

Sigh..

I will never understand these topics. It's his item and he can sell it even for 1 gil if he wants to. Instead of crying over it buy and resell it. Nobody put you in charge of an item's price, you're in charge only of your own prices.

One thing for me is if there are several items up for say 10k and someone puts one up for 9999 I will buy the one below it for 10k. If you are going to undercut someone don't be cheap about it, give a better deal than one dang gil imho : ) I undercut when I need some gil fast or have an odd item I have no need for and just need the space. Checking history is very helpful, if an item has a lot up for sale but only 2 have sold in last month then I might undercut a lot to get rid of the item. I don't do that a lot or with a lot of items, just when it's kind of urgent. But hey, it will always happen so figure out a new strategy instead of expecting other people to make it easy for you.
