I mean undercutting is one thing. But when you bomb an items price by thousands upon thousands, it kinda hurts.
When the one listing becomes 2 listings and then becomes even more than that you need to leave the market and re-enter it when conditions improve. If conditions don't improve it means that the item value has been ruined by over-supply and you're better off looking for other items in demand that haven't got a large amount of supply.

Players tend to get comfortable selling certain items because they have a stockpile of the mats to create them but sometimes its better to either store those mats away for later use or sell them off and try other items to sell. E.g. Player A lists Item A for 200k originally then price starts dropping towards 100k after Players B, C & D enter the market and start an undercutting war with each other dropping price by 1k each time. Due to the fact that supply > demand (sometimes due to just wanting to offload the items being sold) these players will keep dropping the value until they can sell their item and leave the market at that point.

By this point Players E, F and G have entered the market and are now listing their items at the new lower price of 100k which will almost always tend downwards further until someone starts buying out all the left over stock. At this point the item value is ruined until all of these new players decide the value of the item isn't high enough for them to sell at in which case they tend to leave the market and it will become empty again meaning demand > supply and then original player can re-list their item for 200k again.
