    I cant stand the wait and the competition so I usually list my item for a lot lower than the previous one.

    For example I've gotten 2 Glyph drops so far.
    One was lvl 60 obedience cloth which was in cs for 2.3m+ at the time, I sold for 1.5.

    And sold Strongman's glyph for 350k when the next offer was 450k.

    Yeah I'm a lot like this too. Even though I have a good item that you know SOMEONE out there will pay a lot for, my impatience leads me to list it at a lot under the current lowest price in CS.

    it is annoying to see a 5% discount ladder. that is why i just go fro 15-20%. makes for quick money, meaning that i dont crowd up previous offers for long.

    ...so am i just making it worse, or skipping the problem? ;P consider it a mixture. in any case, it is good for the buyer too.

    One less gold is one less you have to pay, that's the pricing strategy.
    For me, I usually just list items at a fixed price, no matter how players try to undercut my prices. You may try to list an item for 3 days, then you'd have a better chance of selling it even when players try to undercut your prices.

    You just have to know the market price for your items and list it around that range. A simple calculation for items is taking the average of lowest 3-4 listing price.
    This can only apply to common items though.

    There is a bug in CS however, items sometimes get 'lost' in searches. Items listed at the same price goes by alphabetical order, by sometimes if you do broad searches with lost of pages of items, items that are suppose to be at the 'next' page get lost between the pages and does not appear on the 'next' page...this is quite hard to explain but I've noticed this problem a while ago. I often couldn't find some of my items listed, and I have 200+ slots, and this is why sometimes even my items are listed at 20-25% higher than the lowest price, my items still get sold for some reason...or maybe I offer better customer service?
