Undercut Hell

No, supply didn't seem to increase. The values I gave were one after another. It took 4 people to drop it in value signifigantly. Purchase history also shows that the average buying price was 800k before the drop, so there's that. And just so you know, not everyone has the kind of gil to buy out the cheap ones and sell them again. Take into consideration of someone undercutting again.

The main reason is that Waterproof Cotton is gotten from desynthesis of a 3* fish or a bikini. They're quite rare to add.

Then buy them and sell at 800K and profit. Their loss is your gain. No guts? No patience? Dumb undercutters are a flippers best friend. Buy low sell high. You can't buy low when everyone wants max gil for their items.

... Lower it far enough and those people responsible for supplying the item will leave the market and you've created a scarcity. So now, not only have you made the economy less over all, which hurts everybody, but you've also made it harder to find those items you are looking for.

This is utter nonsense. If there is real demand for the item, there will always be people supplying it as long as their is profit to be made. If people are selling at a loss, flippers will make up the difference in the market and make the profit, just like those in real life who buy up whole inventories of businesses shutting down and reselling them. You can not create scarcity because their are too many sellers and the prices are lower, and in no ways can it make the item harder to find because there are more sellers.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually read the whole post instead of skimming through it and looking for points that you can argue against just for the sake of a counter argument.

And just so you know, not everyone has the kind of gil to buy out the cheap ones and sell them again.

I was lucky enough to catch the 3* fish, then fight against the desynthesis failures and successes that yielded nothing only to get shot down once I got something rare. Do you have any empathy for people who try their best?
