How to Undercut

Actually the joke is on you. Because I just made money from said item, and I am mid-synth crafting a replacement for that exact item to put it straight back up on the market to compete with you.
Now you have two of the items that you can't get rid of - and one of them cost you market value.

Who said anything about market value? I'll keep cutting by 1 gil until you're well below that. Once i'm in profit margin area i'll scoop up everything you have to offer and mark it up or stockpile it to dump when prices get high again. So by all means keep adding more. I'll keep cutting until it becomes unprofitable for you to do so. Then i'll mark everything back up and make my money back 10 fold.

Well that's nice, but while you're there with your collection then to sell, we've made money already thanks to you buying, and got whatever else we wanted, and like Altena said, probably making more to put back up to repeat the cycle leaving you unable to shift anything unless you become willing to comply to selling low.

That doesn't happen in high turn over items where people buy large quantities frequently. The prices will fluctuate between low and high and if you know where the "average" is on the server once it goes above you dump some of your stock. Buy low and sell high. In larger more expensive items that sell infrequently sure it's likely you won't see profit. But the steady income isn't in those items in the first place. *shrug* Believe me or don't I don't care. Have a good day and thanks for the gil!
