    whats funny is that undercutting by 1 gil doesnt even make sense, when you consider port fees and the fact that the 5% tax on the purchaser is waived by buying from the same city-state the retainer is in.

    then again theres also no reason to have a retainer located anywhere other than shiro, you lose money in the other locations due to higher taxes on the seller (aside from ishgard, but shiro is preferable due to it having a ward with market boards)

    And yeah I know, it still works because most people cant be arsed to pay attention xD

    No whats funny is, how people ALWAYS go with the 1st lowest listing, even tho its 1 gil. Thats why I sell with my retainers at multiple cities. So this way people "cant" fully use the tax against me. Unless they wanna tele to each zone.

    As for me, I buy local from the sellers listing and make sure they take the brunt of the tax lol.
