I do not have an issue with under-cutting at all.

As a seller: If I price Ehcatl Sealant at 240k and I feel its worth it's price or I am in no hurry to sell the item and want its full value, I leave it as is and wait. If someone prices thiers 1 gil less than mine, I couldn't care less. I will also offer competitive pricing when listing bulk items so if I sell 5 ehcatl sealants I will probably offer something like a 1-2k cut per sealant for a more tempting offer for the buyer.

Yesterday, and I don't understand what happened, but someone bought my sealant the moment I listed it. There were 6 others that were cheaper than mine, but the moment I listed it at 234k it sold before I could walk away from the MB. I checked really quick to see what was left and there were still 6 listings priced from 210-230k. I priced mine purposely waiting on the "quick seller" flood gates to close.

As a Buyer: If I see an item I need/want and the difference is one gil. I generally will buy the highest price one as a lesson to the under-cutter. Top listed items do not sell any faster than the rest when people take into consideration of quantity and price vs bulk price and discounts. And complaining about undercutting, regardless of how ridiculous as it maybe is comparable to McDonald's complaining that Burger King has 2 fish fillet sandwiches AND a small side of fries for $1 to their 2 fish fillet for $1...
