Undercutting

[Prrringles]

We're playing the same game. Your problem is you're focused on a very tiny segment of the market that you know is flooded with more competition and bot activity instead of looking at the greater market for other opportunities with less competition and no bots. I'm making good gil off Pactmaker on one of my alts right now because all the materials except Hannish Fiber are dirt cheap on the MB and most of the end game crafters are so focused on Indagator, they're ignoring the players who don't want to pay Indagator prices to equip their retainers. And of course the bots moved onto Indagator as well so I don't have to worry about them.

On the other hand, you could be manipulating prices yourself to take advantage of the bots if they're that mindless. Get them to undercut low, then buy them out as soon as they undercut and relist. If sales are that good, you should be making a profit before they do their next bi-hourly price check.

Nah, I sell many things and mainly older stuff. Pretty much zero competition except for bots (who sell every item) and the odd clueless undercutter. The items I mainly put up for sale don't sell THAT fast but they sell like once or twice a week which adds up when you sell like 100+ items. I can't buyout bot items because they relist the items instantly. I tried that a few times over the years and just ended up with a bunch of items. Bots don't update bi-hourly but every 10 minutes. Good luck with that.

Thank you, my luck has been just fine on mb sales. I'm not stressing myself out over whether I'm competing against bots. Things either sell reasonably quick for the item type and I keep making more to list, or they don't and I find something else to sell in their place.

Luck to you in turn. Sounds like you're going head on against the bots far more than I do.
