    It is not rude, and if your speculation has failed on whatever item, then that is just a part of the game also organized trade cartels and the likes where you are only permitted to do that even though you could sell more items quicker and faster, due to eg, having a much better Chain Supply Line or cutting out the middleman by doing parts of it yourself, just means you are more competetative.

    am gonna undercut for 50K or more, if the item is not worth it.. if it is flooding the market, even more.
    The items aren't worth anything though? If something is at 2M then people will buy it at 2M. If something is at 10M then people will buy it at 10M. The only thing that affects the price is whether the material price is lower than the final item price.

    If you actually dropped something from 10 million to 2 million I feel sad for you because you lost out on 8 million for absolutely NO reason.

    Just be patient and it will sell at 10 million. It's basic logic.

    You don't get it, people empty the markets to drive the prices up, so yes I am going to undercut the market, as long as there is a profit in it.. if I earn 50gil to 50000gil is irrelevant as long as there is a surplus after taxes.. why should the most new crafter items cost 3millions for eg. a ring, when it is only worth 250k.

    Nothing to do with patience, it has something to do with driving an honest bargain... they should put owner of the retainer on as well, so people can boycot buying things from that person.

    There IS only a very few actually rare items... for an instance the Golden Beaver Minion, where you can justify the insane prices... and there IS brief shortages as well where you can drive an honest advantage of things, but it stops there.

    Also if you are against undercutting by 50k or more, you can buy the items and resell or try to resel them for 50k more, since you got the patience and whatever, just know that it my run you dry eventually when the items become mundane.

    Here’s the thing: he can’t and he’s pissed because he uses bots and it forces his prices down lol (look at his profile and fc and forum history if you have any doubt.)

    I enjoy undercutting these farmers that try to control the market by auto undercutting you by 1 gil till people get tired and when competition goes away, set prices at outrageous levels. I have enough gil for myself and am happy to provide relatively cheap items nowadays.

    If you were really such a Chad or Stacey you would buy up all of the stock on all of the worlds on the Data Centre for a particular item and then relist them at an insane markup from your gil cost average. Have a few friends help to list on their worlds too and hoover up any competing listings. It's cartel conduct and I'm all for it. If you ever want to crash the economy with no survivors and get some seething redd*t and forum threads posted, hit me up.

    Got reading problems? I am not trying to control the markets. Bots are. OP runs a bot farm. I like to sell for relatively cheap.

    My apologies. After rereading your post it's clear that you are a paragon of virtue and I am truly blessed to be in your presence.

    Not an alt and not a troll. I just don't put on a fake persona to appease internet strangers with shit takes.

    lol you gotta be below 50 iq if you think any bot farmer even checks market board manually to notice what you're doing to even get pissed when they just auto everything across 36 servers

    its like those people who think they owned the president by peeing on the road in front of his third summer vacation mansion that he visits once every 25 years
