What is your ACTUAL reasoning for undercutting?

[Crystal_Raven]

I undercut when other people get on my nerves.

If people keep dragging the sale price of something i'm trying to sell extremely low, like ores for example, that's fine.

I will flood the market so horribly and drag the price down until it reaches 10 gil or less. I don't actually need the gil, I just sell stuff so people who are lazy can get them, if I make some money on the side over it, sure. But I won't hold my breath to flooding the market with said item and dragging the prices down horribly low until undercutters either try to undercut below 10 gil or they leave, because I will go out of my way to specifically mine those things and keep the market flooded until undercutters give up.

I undercut because I would like my items to actually sell.
Because everyone undercuts, if you don't, then your item will never sell, and you'll find it still listed 6 months later when current prices are half of what they used to be.
I actually DO need the gil, which is why I actually want it to sell in a reasonable time frame, unlike some spiteful people who will undercut by thousands just to 'teach people a lesson'...

Nine hundred million times this.

People undercutting massively out of spite just end up hurting their own margins. I'll undercut by 1 Gil every day for 2-3 months if necessary until it gets bought, and if they try to remove/put the price back up to where everyone else is, I'll just bump up my price again to undercut the cheapest price by 1 Gil.

I just want to sell what I have. I don't craft but when I did I still sold the low level things for less than what others were. Why? Because I think most things have way, WAY too much markup on them.

First page of responses is absolutely yes.

I got literally thousands of an item from "Of the Golden..." title, guess I'll sell what I crafted because I really don't need it. Oh, someone undercut me, I'll undercut them because I want it to just sell already.

There's a rare expensive item I want to sell for a high price... and someone 1gils me. Ok. I got time, let's do this. 1gil undercuts to stay at the top of the list go.

I'm petty. I will sell things at a reasonable price when I undercut, enough that it's acceptable of course and not completing destroying the market. But if you undercut me by 1 gil, then I'm going to undercut you by 100 - you keep doing it and each time the amount I undercut will increase until you back off, buy me out - or someone purchases my items.

I despise 1 gil undercutters. Probably because I'm from SWTOR. Ain't personal my bros, it just makes me see red.

To get the item sold.

I do undercut, I'd rather not have to undercut, but it's part of the game. When I'm making end game gear for gil, I constantly crank them out. So I need them to move, to make them move I need to undercut or else I just start sitting on gear because the ones listed aren't moving. Gathering, crafting, and checking retainers is honestly so much fun for me, to see the gil roll in as I'm doing these three things. I love it.

Undercutting helps to prevent interference between gear teeth when you have a small number of teeth on a gear.

I bring prices down when I am desperate for cash ASAP. XD I'm not a crafter proper so I'm basically perma-broke.
