Overall long term you're doing it wrong if you're investing so much in a single item/category. Sharks that don't swim die.
If I was on a more populated server, I would just muddy the waters up a bit, then move on to a different market, then come back after a few days while the other people duke it out over little bits of profit.. It's not just about the numbers, it's more about pissing off the other party so that next time they see your retainer's name, they'll just avoid competing with you completely.


In either case, you're just doing it to leave an impression and that's certainly worth the bit of money lost imo.
