Prices too high for mats?

[JayvirDeforte]

I don't know how it is on other servers, but on Besaid I am getting VERY annoyed but people who refuse to sell CUL mats at a decent price. Why should 5 people be selling apples at 5k per apple when the vendor sells them for 1.3k? It's like this with nearly every mat. Onions? 5k. Salt Leeks? 6k. Absurdity

you notice that too?
Why do you think i posted what I did in our server forums

Sheepskin is almost as bad if not worse, people want 8k+ for them
and thats just what im currently noticing, im sure its bad like that on every server where people are trying to charge more then vendors sell

Carrots and onions are dirt cheap on Figaro, but aldgoat milk is up for 2k (doesn't that only cost 1.4k?). I've been annoyed that many other ingredients (if on the somewhat rare occasion that they are available) go for just slightly lower than the npc pricing, and have been giving my money to npc instead for most ingredients.

A bigger problem with food ingredients is that no one would be interested in keeping, or even getting, the ingredients, resulting in very limited supplies. I don't blame the sellers, though, since logs and stones sell for more for the same space they occupy, and it's a load of trouble to collect them in the first place.

Yeah, just blame it on ignorance. If there was a price history, this problem wouldn't be so bad.

price history wont stop idiots from posting it higher then vendor

people not knowing that it sells for less at a vendor is the problem(and the fact they arent sure itl even sell so no one posts it)

If the price history shows that the last time someone sold an apple it was for 300 gil, and that the average selling price of apples was somewhere around 700 gil, he's not going to list it for the retarded price of 5000 gil.

that doesnt help still
cuz i promise you idiots bought them for 2-5k+
i know on besaid they do cuz i moniter apples sales constantly and they go regardless of price rather quickly

if anything a price history will make more people post them for higher prices

[Kaisersose]

look the price of apples i am sure is outrageous so start gathering! lets refrain from calling people idiots, if anything lets call them lazy

Its going to be hard to sell things for the right price when.... you have people who use a fishing bot then grind alc to 50 by turning fish into shards then they take the shards and sell them in the market. by doing this people can make around 1-7mil of gil a day... so when you make 1-7mil a day it doesn't matter how much you pay for the mats you are going to use to bot your other crafts to 50...

Cooks definitely have it the worst when it comes to mats. Honestly, the best thing to do is level the harvesting classes for your mats. It is what I've been doing. It isn't the fastest method by any means but it sure beats paying for overpriced mats.
