Position on the Marketboard

[Aseity]

Until I list one of the other 5 sitting in my inventory at the price I just sold the last one at.

So long as they're indeed around material price, i'll buy those too! It'll all sell eventually, the market board is a marathon, not a race.

Undercut them by whatever you feel like. Or charge more than them. Their desires are totally irrelevant, and price-fixing only hurts consumers and the economy.

Why do you think everyone hates cable companies?

Yes, it's just a game, but the economy works the same way excepting a system of interest. There's even taxes, ffs.

Just a note: I don't always buy from people on the top position if they're a gil cheaper. Your City State has a lot to do with when I'm likely to buy from you. If I'm at my FC house for example, I'm going to buy from Limsa Markets even if they're a little bit more expensive than the guy trying to get top position by a few gil. This is due to the fact I'm not gonna pay market tax which the guy undercutting a few gil, is not gonna make up.

I may also not buy from you if you have 99 stacks and are the cheapest, because I only need a few of those items and may be willing to pay 800 for 2 of them vs 500 for 99 of them.

Well if you're selling the big-ticket items (assuming you're selling big ticket items), it's going to draw a lot of competition. I usually avoid dancing with my competition, as I'd much rather profit off of them.
