    Default undercuting = less gold

    Yeah i know its good that prices are dropping fast now and yes its because of people trying to sell items fast and undercutting.No point of chosing a three day option when selling stuff <except when you want to save> when after listing your item there is someone who will undercut afterwards 75% of the time and so on. I would just like to point out that this is a bad habit because one 1. Best item usually are 500k + in cs 2. listing fees are expensive 3. when you sell an item for a lower price you will get fewer golds also thus making less return profit which makes buying reason number more difficult..

    Its a free market tho.. My suggestion is if you undercut someone just undercut for just a little bit or dont at all.. or do your business in forums or in kraag which is free

    ps: how do i make a signature?lol

    IM PINK THEREFORE IM HAM

    This is all true but "buyers" wait for a nice undercut to buy, soooooo if you what to actually sell what you have you are gonna have to undercut nicely.

    from my experience when you undercut someone by a bit 1-5% chances of you selling that item is not very high

    so in the long run you might be re-listing the same item 2, 3, 4, or even 5x so some people undercut by quite a huge margin for a higher chance of sale ... and sometimes it crashes the item

    Yes its nice to undercut if you really want to sell an item but it seems the problem will surface once you undercut an item for like 100k off the price and that item wouldnt sell in an hour or so and people will follow through thus lessening the items overall value..

    Tips: i have experienced these a lot.i keep my prices intact and just wait for someone to pm me for discounts.i usually get 3-5 pm's when i put something in cs and just give to the highest bidder. I do asks for discounts also so i supposed this is true with all the others..the problem is you need to be online almost all the time tho

    i cant remember when was the last time i read about "undercutting" sales ...way back from SL


    some people doesnt realy care... all they think is to sell it while its hot. its either wait til the price go up again or go with the flow

    You guys are discussing items that have artificially inflated prices. If someone undercuts you and the price of your items is legitimate, then someone will quickly snatch up the lower priced item and soon after yours will be the lowest again. If people continue to undercut eachother then it means the price was artificially inflated anyway. Eventually prices settle to the real value of an item.

    Try selling a colton egg for 500k and see if someone undercuts you. Yours will be gone in a second and nobody is going to undercut you.

    Unfortunately, when there are more items available than buyers who want them, prices drop. That's why prices drop after a new campaign has been around a while. Many people have gotten their gear already so not as many potential buyers still around, or those who are around are not willing to pay the high prices. So prices drop to the point that people are willing to pay.

    My point is: A. u hve a ring and u sell it at 75k when actual/usual price is normally 100-150k or even higher.
    B. u want best weapon for ur char worth 750k up (good thing old items are now cheap unlike first patch)
    C.in order for u to acquire B u need to at least sell 6-8 letter As when you could have done it in just 3-5

    I understand the need to sell item cheap so it would be sold asap but what people need to understand is that top gears are always expensive

    undercutting by that amount is either bad or good..bad for the other seller and good.becoz u retain the usual price

    Undercutting now imo is kinda good. Prices are still way too high for the average pick-up gamer to make purchases. The market should stabilize itself after a while though, so there's no real need to get anxious about it.

    Default undercuting = less gold

    I undercut by 1k-20k depending on the price of item. If some one undercuts some one by 1 gold or 1k on a high priced item I (I know many others do this to) I buy the one slightly more expensive. I just don't like the jerks who undercut a 100k item by 1-100gold... Like seriously... I hope many others follow suit and the ones that already do this. Kudos to you.
