Better yet, know the market and stick to your preferred price. If the item is actually selling and you've set a reasonable price, your item will still end up selling and you'll make that little bit of extra gil. While some players go for the absolute lowest price, other players actively avoid buying from the 0.1% undercutters. I've taken advantage on many occasions by setting my price slightly above the lowest one listed and had my items sell the same day.
a couple major problems with setting the same price. Falls apart when the RMT bots transfer over a boatload of items and sell for half or less of that price.

Right now, the prices on Zalera of neo gear is just over what it costs to make for most of it. You can certainly stick with your "preferred price" but when there are 6 to 10 listings cheaper, no one is going to care if they are 0.1% undercutters...
