Undercutting

[Hysterior]

It is how it is... If you feel like the items you are selling are not worth the investment, then sell something else.
If it was you making too much margin, then you are the greedy one. Find other items to corner the market on.

Competitive market. I ain't gonna deal with people who undercut by 1gil.

Honestly this. I have to empty my inventory and my retainers.
You undercut me by One gil? I'll crash the market.
Dont want me to do It? Then dont undercut me.

Pretty much. If I think a price is fair, I'll price match and let the buyer(s) decide. Both items will usually end up selling so everyone is happy.

A one gil undercut isn't what I consider a fair price. That's someone being petty.

Lol, you dont crash the market. We come along, think "well, thats nice", buy the undercutters stuff and craft it up or just outright relist it.

It happens all of the time. Ever noticed one person buying up all of the stupid cheap listings? And if they don't, then you probably just blew your profit on a market against people who didn't care.

The mixed signals regarding what is considered proper selling etiquette is quite annoying.

For some, a gil saved is a gil earned. I'm not going to get on someone's case about their buying habits unless they're constantly complaining how expensive things are. In which case... things are expensive because they and others buy high instead of waiting for prices to drop so sellers don't fell a need to price lower.

All you do is enforce bad habits. Saving one Gil is not changing anything. It's just your brain saying 9.99 I'd better than 10.00. Unfortunately, history has proven that it works. Guess I'm the exception.

You're not the only one. Note I didn't say I do it myself. I just know those who do. To them it doesn't matter because in most cases they don't know the sellers so they might as well go with the lower price. Or it's because they also do the 1 gil undercutting when they're selling themselves.

My partner in Halone, have you considered gathering? Anything over the cost of gear repairs is profit.

When I buy different items worth of 100k, craft them into something new and sell that for 200k then I don't care about the 2nd highest price is 1mil.
I made 100k gil for 2 min of work and that's good for me.

Supply and demand... you need to study economics.
