Undercut Hell

[Zarzak]

But if you go to a grocery store you can buy your beverage at a lower price. At a big box store you can get them in at an even better price. Then of course, sometimes they can be on sale.

Is that undercutting? No, that's a deal.

And then you are paying for the convenience of not having to go to those stores in town.

Since the MB is in 1 place regardless.. The vending machine scenario works.

All things being equal the price has to be equal or the higher priced people go out of business. If the status quo is maintained everyone will sell for the same price and make equal profits. undercutting in any amount destroys that. Be it 1 gil or 50k the person at fault is the 1st person to break the status quo.

I appreciate your purchasing and economic philosophies. However, this is business. The truth of the matter, is that your personal buying habits and selling principles are such a small part of the common purchasing demographic in game that it's hardly realized, if at all in any tangible way.

You need top paged. Unless you're leveled high enough to craft things in extremely high demand, you need to push product. If I want to sell 3 craftsman materia I or II at say 3k a piece and there are 10 of them on the market board for 2675, I'll be selling my three for 2670. That's just the way it works.

Do what you want. But don't do it then complain that someone else did it to you.

Incorrect. Your vending machine scenario is essentially price fixing. More often than not, the sodas & beverages are all from the same parent company.
