    How is this greedy? He has a lot of stuff to sell. If you have 1 item to sell, you have 1 thing in the auction. If you have 2,000 things to sell, you can have 2,000 things in the auction. The average seller fixes a price so that you can get profit and hopefully not let anyone undercut you.

    He instantly under-prices everyone who puts an item in...almost instantly. It's gotten to the point where people don't know what to list an item at because the CS has stuff listed so low, so they just list even lower.

    On the flip side, perhaps the green items are priced way too much for what they're actually worth, and he's doing the market a favor. Sellers are mad, buyers are happy, as opposed to buyers are mad, sellers are happy. You still have equilibrium in the marketplace, so greed remains stagnant.

    Yep, everytime a new map comes out, prices for the new items are extremely high, this guy's just bringing the prices back to "normal" whatever the normal price is.
    how bout this. start a price war, until each item is like 500gold. then buy everything you can, and sell them at a higher price agin

    the way to change the world is by doing one act of kindness at a time, care to buy some cookies?

    Wow I did not know I caused such an upheaval. First let me begin by saying I don't even go on SL everyday so there is no way I could instantly undercut everyone's price. Second when I do check the store it is usually my prices that have been undercut. All I have done is set a price that I feel is fair and that I am willing to buy at if anyone now prices under. I have simply let the market set itself and priced my items accordingly. I tried to price higher but was instantly undercut. I repriced and so on until I reached a price that I know feel is appropriate. If u feel my prices are to low then buy them. Third I am the one willing to take the risk of setting a market and inventorying items. If pinks and newer items hit the market tomorrow I am screwed and will have greatly overpaid. The prices I am currently listing at seem to be appropriate, I am still getting undercut but am selling more than I have to buy.

    Finally and most importantly please don't go throwing my name out in a negative light especially when ur premise is off base and u have never even spoken to me. I am not just a "greedy" trader. I give away way more than I keep. Your accusations are not appreciated and more importantly are just plain wrong. You accuse me of being greedy when in fact it is sounding like your inability to make ur own profit is what u are complaining about. Be careful when ur throwing stones from a glass house!

    Save your items until demand is higher. Be happy you can get items cheap. I know I am. I can save the money I already have and get items cheap. Or, you can farm as much as his guild did and do the same thing.

    EDIT: I assumed these were sales for your guild. If you farmed those yourself... you are a beast.
