    This is why.

    I do it out of spite when someone undercuts me by 1 gil because I find that incredibly obnoxious. I know that's a failing on my part but I just can't help it. When I see someone undercut me by a single gil it incites incredible animosity within me and the only way to defuse it is to undercut in big chunks. When it gets too low (and if it hasn't sold yet), I yank it and let the 1gil undercutter have the sale at a much lower than expected price point then.

    I know its incredibly silly on my part. I just find the whole undercut by 1 gil so frustratingly obnoxious I just can't help but retaliate in the only way I can. I also avoid buying things that have been undercut by 1gil and go to the next higher priced one. Paying that one gil more gives me such a sense of satisfaction that its well worth it.

    How many men am I involved with? Well that depends... do you mean men as in males? Or just midlanders?

    LOL I do this too. XD Refuse to buy something that's only been lowered by 1 or 5 gil. XD It doesn't make any difference in price lol.

    Well, while I don't share the sentiment and would much rather encourage against killing an item's value faster than necessary and to keep other sellers' interests in mind, on some level I feel like I can kind of understand how it may be perceived as a slight or tasteless thing to do.

    Still, I apologise for being a part of the low-value undercut community. I honestly mean no harm by it and don't like to imagine people see it as annoying, but an item's value dropping faster than it needs to is what I see as bothersome, so it's what I can relate to and unfortunately I see no real compromise in between ;

    I know that feel, usually i just set the lowest price and thats it, i just look to put it to an retainer from another state, so the taxes make an difference. Then they come and lower for like 2-3 gil, or 100-200... or whatever. I show wait, if its just one, ok, but if like everyone follows, i drop as well and i dont go down with 100 g - I drop from 50k to 45 or worse if im fed up >_>

    I know its stupid, but i just cant help... worse are ppl who undercut by millions >_>
