Undercutting.

[Kiroh]

Actually, I undercut myself at times on purpose.
1- To find out at what price other players are willing to buy my stuff, at least sooner rather than later.

You do realize there is a "sale history" tab when you put something up for sale that shows you how much, and when (date and time) items sell for, right?

Yeah but it doesn't tell you how long it is up there for for every single item. I gave you reasons as to why I may undercut myself. That doesn't mean I do it every chance I get. Since you brought up the sale history tab, that doesn't quite put this situation into perspective. What if another player came and undercut this player? Why decrease the value of both entries when you could do it to just one, have the second player's item sell quick, leaving your own to be the two cheapest entries (or just the one) at a higher price.

It's easy to find out how long things stay on the market by checking the dates the items sold and the players they sold to. If an item's sale history is all (or mostly) that day, and the buyers are more than one or two people, it's pretty simple to figure out the item is selling regularly, and at that particular price range. It's really common sense stuff.

And there was no other person selling for less than them, the cheapest sale entry before that was 60k+.

(Though interestingly, a bunch sold for more gil than his cheapest one in the last 10 minutes.)
