If people start undercutting me I will gladly follow suit and take it down to the cost price over time. To me profit is profit so I don't care if I make 1 gil profit or 1 mill.

Do you factor in time value? I'm assuming with that mentality the answer is no...

I notice a lot of player having problems with this concept and similars, like opportunity cost. In their eyes they aren't losing money but doing something else will grant a bigger profit.

Anyway, hardcore undercutting is because MB dumbs down the market by removing a lot of factors inherent to player shops, also, NQ/HQ system is not complex enough. Without changing this two factors the only way players can compete with each other is by undercutting.

Why even undercut in the first place? And by 1 gil? I'm sorry, but I don't have any sympathy for any kind of undercutters. I always match the lowest price for anything I'm selling (unless it's a smaller stack of rare crafting mats, and I usually list them for higher because people will pay more for less if they don't need 99 of something). People undercutting is what causes market crashes; literally all the drops I've gotten from 151+ in PotD would have sold if people didn't feel the need to undercut, be it by 1 gil or 1,000,000 gil.

Don't undercut and then complain when you get undercutted.
