Undercutting

[Faafetai]

undercutting by 1 gil is fine

tanking the market because you think itll sell ‘faster’ isn’t.

if something is selling at 80k gil (and i mean selling, not sitting there), either price at 80k or 79,999. you make more money, the market doesn’t tank, everyone wins. people will ALMOST always buy the first one on the list anyways, regardless of if its insanely cheap or priced right at market value. you simply shoot yourself in the foot, as well as everyone else.

I have seen something selling for a moderate amount like 2000 drop to 70gil and it makes me fiesty, but I just get fed up and sell into different markets at that point. It was way worse when I would spend a few hours on collecting a mat at lower level that wasn't on the market at all than I get undercut by a lot. Though I do not have the best of luck so say farming for Archaeornis Skin in heavensward when in heavensward expansion getting barely any and trying to make a small amount of gil is just depressing. I usually factor in how much time it took to get the stuffs, make it, sell it and usually sell it for whatever price is the lowest depending on how many of that item is for sale. You can get away with selling things at the same price and still make bank on it so might as well not undercut. Though what you have said reminds me of all of those times I sell something for months than little Timmy comes in selling a million slots with his 12 retainers for 1 gil tanking the market entirely. I just wonder why, I have never sold something for 1gil but wouldn't the tax make you get nothing in return, it would be better to just sell it to an npc at that point.
