from what I can tell, he's putting in starting prices, then when someone undercuts him, he undercuts them by a certain amount (seems like it ends in 950 or 995, I forget the amount) hoping that they will attempt to undercut him as well. When they do that, once the prices reach a certain low lvl, he'll buy theirs. So now that person got much less credits than they originally expected, and he's got another piece of the market. He'll then list for whatever he wants because he literally owns the entire market of greens right now. The items are low priced and he's still making profit, but one would see this as greedy because instead of allowing other people to make profits from their drops, he undercuts them to a minimal profit. People will buy more when it's cheaper, meaning he can sell all the items easily. This wont work everytime, like say someone buys one of the items he's using to undercut you before he drives the price down low enough. I got this theory because I listed strange metal pistols today. 3 other pistols were listed at the time, 2 from dopey and 1 from bod. The day before, dopey had a bunch listed for like 9995 or something. He now had 2 listed for 14995 (or something) and bod for 19kish. I listed mine at 12 because I wanted to see what he would do. Within minutes, he relisted both of his pistols at 10995. I kept mine at 12, and I hope no one tries to undercut him.
but who knows, maybe I'm wrong and he's just a weird person who buys a lot of credits with plat and likes making the market cheap. I'm gonna go with the first.
