He should have handled it better; you shouldn't have collapsed the item. Issue on Lamia right now is bored crafters with too much gil, no gil sink, so they buy mats high, sell final product low and barely break even. In return however everyone anyone else who tries to craft the item takes a loss on it.

Most 4 star craft's aren't worth crafting right now on Lamia. Example 1.2mil in mats, sells for 1.5, 1.425 after tax. 225k profit = waste of time.

225k for like 2 minutes worth of clicking + Bouillabaisse

It's worth the money if you have the means to sell the item in a reasonable amount of time without too much competition, which if you have no immediate need for gil, you can just leave it on the MB and let it sit indefinitely.

For somebody starting out though, with chance to nq, it may not be worth the risk and the slow turnover. So essentially, they're just locking out the new competition from entering the fray.

it's a good tactic imo, on Jenova, I think there's a guy who's not actually selling any mcDs, but holding the prices below 200k by having like 20 listings at 200k. So whoever wants to enter the market will have to take that into account and it drove out quite a few people. Maybe he's selling the item on a different retainer and nobody knows it because it looks like they're in competition with one another.. It keeps competition out, he can have the market for himself.
