What is your ACTUAL reasoning for undercutting?

[Aeirou]

I don't thoughtlessly post anything for sale. I will undercut vendor items if the bots are getting super greedy. I always check the sale history and go for a median of the sale prices, but also try to keep the value of whatever I’m selling.

So if darksteel ore is selling between 750 and 1k per, I’ll sell mine for about 850-900 regardless of the current posted ores. Someone is going to come along and buy a bunch eventually and my price isn’t unreasonable.

I have only 40 MB slots, and usually overflowing bags, so I want the stuff I'm selling to move fast. If I have things that have been up for more than a few days, I usually cut the prices by half.

I undercut to get rid of stuff ASAP. I don't have room to keep junk I don't want. My saddlebags, inventory, and retainers are all nearly maxed. A large portion of it is fishing bait, so this won't be as big of a problem come 5.0.

I tend to do it by 1 gil at a time, but I will just outright murder the price of something if I can't get something to sell. Inversely, I can't stand when people take prices down of certain items, because I'm trying to offload thousands lol

Everytime someone undercuts me by 1 gil, i drop my listing by 50%. Not here to play your stupid fucking game.

Eh, I make a difference between undercutting and advertising.

Alot of the folk that 'undercut' you by 1 or 2 gil aren't really undercutting. They want to sell for the same value, what they're actually just doing is taking your 'advertising' space from you by gaming the board and ensuring their 'product' is on top of the 'cheapest' register.

That's all it is.

Actually 'undercutting' (Aka dropping the price by 10 percent onwards) is something I don't do, because it's stupid. You're killing your own profits, that's all there is to it. Yours, and whoever else wants to sell his stuff. All that accomplishes is that people can buy cheap, and that you lose revenue because of it.

And this is exactly why I undercut. The prices on my server are just getting way too high. The second most important thing I can do in this game, other than saving the First from annihilation, is driving prices on the market board down.

Ooh, you sound like someone I could make money off of.

Go right ahead. I unfortunately don't have time to camp retainer 14 hours a day. As long as stuff move out of my inventory and I get some girl back I don't give two shits

If I undercut, it will usually be by 1-5 gil, sometimes a little more. Not enough to drag down the price but enough to maybe entice someone to buy what I'm selling. In the event that certain items go unsold for days or weeks, I will undercut them massively, and repeatedly if need be, until someone buys them. I just want to remove my stock and get more things listed. Eventually everything goes with some persistence.
