    But that's how the market works. Personnally, when I see someone undercutting me from 1 gil, I undercut of 15% of the value and flood the market. Undercut for real or don't do it.

    Making gils is not really hard, items worth millions like rare mount or minions are the worst way to make money as they are hard to farm and have few buyers.

    Selling things that are craftable/collectable is the easiest way to make money. And if you want to setup a new price, just do it.
    That only works on under cutters that actually care about selling most just want to get rid and make room in the inventory and won't look at the retainer again until the inventory is full again.

    The big undercutters are usually exactly that type of player. They're not out for max profit, they just want to get rid of what they have to sell for what they considerable a reasonable price. They're rarely out to crash the market to manipulate the market price (though I have done that on a few occasions when I thought the market price was excessively high for an item with low cost to make, especially if sales history made it look like one player was trying to manipulate the price for profit).

    If the item is in high demand, the undercut should have no impact on the normal market price for the item since it will disappear almost as soon as the item was listed. If the item is in low demand and the price only continues to sink, then the price correction was probably needed because no one was interested in buying it at the going price.
