There are no undercutters. Only overcutters.

If you try to sell a level 30 item for 50K gil
and I come along and sell the same item for 15K gil
that isn't undercutting
that is market correction

what level 30 sprout can afford a 50K item?

I think its good that some undercut it gives some of the new players a chance to get a high tier item.

Some can't afford some of the huge prices, this helps them a lot and some of the rich ones are mad cause they ain't getting the full monty.

Too much self greed now days >.> hence why REAL nice people undercut

It makes financial sense to undercut things. You gain zero Gil if your item doesn't sell. What are you thinking sellers will do, set their price higher and wait in line for their item to sell? Most of the time the offers that are sitting on MB are sitting there *because* they are overpriced and nobody bought them. Undercutters aren't actually making an item cheaper, it's natural price correction until a price is reached at which the item will actually sell.

This. If the item I'm selling is meant for level 45-60 players, I'll barely undercut the lowest bidder, assuming I undercut them at all. But if it's for someone below that, I just sell it at whatever price is reasonable.

I started with a new character recently and found that I couldn't afford any more than one marketboard item even after saving up all my Gil so far, and selling all monster drops and Allagan pieces.

Exactly, I hate seeing low-level gear being sold at endgame prices. Sure, a few of the potential buyers have been around a couple years or more, have several level 60 jobs already, and are just leveling up a new alt class, but there's plenty of others who are just starting out and are getting only the slow trickle of gil that early game content gives. They need gear too, and aren't going to be spending the sort of gil you don't make until endgame. Prices should be appropriate to the item, which means pricing low-level gear towards the new player (or new character) market.
