Trying to understand player behavour with MB & MSQ dungeons

[LalaRu]

...an item sells to a npc merchant for 200 gill, they put it up on the MB for 100 gil. That's a complete loss...

Nope, that is assured more Gil for me buying from the board and selling to npc. Happens with higher priced items too, and I'm totally fine with it!

Especially with people that forgot to add one '0' at the end...

I'm talking about the seller - it's a complete loss for them, as they are selling it for less than they'd make selling to an npc merchant, as well as paying tax on the sale so even less!
Obviously for ppl who buy it and sell to an npc or relist it, it'll be profit for them.

As for Alleo's comment - indeed, it's why I've not done it. Considering the times I've come across it being done... hasn't generally speed things up, I just never saw the point (once cutscene's were unskippable) to doing so... risk your account being suspended to save a few minutes? Pffft.

Can only speak for me but if I don't need/want an item I just throw it out on the MB and yes I often do it below vendor price. To me gil is not something that matters all that much. I have ≈40milion gil and I haven't spent any (except on teleports) for almost a year now. I see it as a win-win situation. Yes I get less gil but on the other hand someone else might need that item and if that makes someone happy I'm perfectly fine with making a little less profit.Still better than deleting it if you ask me.
