    Default You know what REALLY GRINDS my GEAR? All of you do it

    When I am happy doodly putting my item in CS at cost of a usually large amount of fee and 10 seconds later SOMEONE else puts up a price about 5% LESS THAN me...so if I post a 230k item..someone puts up 228k..

    And than the chain continues people keep trying to outbeat eachother

    Time for a government intervention!

    I propose that one cannot outbeat someone else on even days by more than 2.473836% when the original bid was made at less than 140% cost of listing fee considering average annual income made from CS pro rated at 2% IF the person is a single account holder. For multiple account holder form PL-4823947A will have to be filed within 2 hours of a 10 hour listing and petition must be made with support@sts.com for proof of multiple account holdings. Also vanities will be excluded of said rule but subject to proportional fee equivalent and supported by consumption rate of platinum stock obtain herein.

    Usually if I see this I end up buying from the person closer to the top since I know that they've been under cut many times, unless the price is too good to miss since I don't have a lot of money :/

    If it's less than 1k gold i'll definitely by the next person up. But ultimately, a cheaper price is a cheaper price.

    I hate the people who dont even bother to undercut. They just post it at the same price. And because they posted last they are the first one.
    You'll find me in-game on these two

    It's how CS goes. Also I hate how it's organized by name alphabetical letter A first.
    That way, when someone lists same price as me, I am under them because I start with Xwhirlz.
    They should make it so whoever listed it earlier is on top.

    I do hate this, but just leave it at your price, i listed an item 30 k and people kept posting for like 500 gold les, next day i came in mine was sold lol. I just laugh when it happens, but understandable since it really bugs me sometimes. What's worse is in town and someone starts asking like 10k less than what you're saying. I'm like WTF. Lol

    If it's a price like 20k then yes I may do 18-19k about 10% but at 230k I will typically (depending on the price I got for) go down 15% or more for a quick sale... These people you see undercutting by 1 coin on a 400k item ... That's just rude and if I'm buying I will always buy the higher price item.... Lol

    Hahahaha ! Just imagine the bugs if they required to implement a system like this

    LoL, depends on how anxious you are to sell. I usually just wanna sell right away and am not worried about an extra few gold by undercutting, plus I feel bad if I do, so my rule of thumb is to sell at least 10% cheaper then lowest bid, usually I will sell within 3 hours.
