== Content ==
			
As a new player, and one who has two gathering professions I LOVE the C.X; I can see my competition without the need for an addon, fast sales, basically the system is BADASS.
 
Just a quick question, how does the community look at undercutting sell orders? If I sell 200 ores and my competition is 1s99c i'll put it at 1s75c for 100% chance of a sale -- but is that needed? 
 
I don't do the instant sale's because sale orders net more money  ^_^
 
Anyway thank you devs and community share your opinion  :)

Always undercut 1c.
Always. 
Anything else gets me very upset. Of course if you want to actually troll CX users like me, go ahead. It will work for sure.  <_<
 
Edit: Oh also I think you're the first person I see actually praising the default CX interface. Good for you! :D

Undercutting is common, but I have to say you're the first person to openly admit "Loving it"
 
Most hate it.

			I just want my stuff to sell, you're talking to the dude that would post 200 pieces of cloth in the WoW auction house in stacks of 1 at a 15% undercut to guarantee a sale, i'll try 1C and suggest me a good auction addon; I didn't really look hard for one since the current one does everything I need; but if there's something better link me :)

Im all bout dat profit, so 1c cuts for me. I suggest you do the same to keep the prices a bit higher.

this. omfg this.
I actually have the CX and AH in this game. The best AH in a game, to me, was the one in FFXI. The only way to judge what to sell something by was by history.
It is an auction house, place a bid, if you "do not win" place it again, until you find the buy out (not see it). The next person comes along to sell that item, they would check sell history, and normally sell at that price.
Make for a great economy.
 
This "AH" style (just like WoW's) is just a place to store stuff you would like to sell, but it is what we have. I only sell about 5 items on the CX/AH now, because undercutting is something people just do not understand.
A 16 slot bag on the AH for 1+p. So a 12 slot one, how does 5g sound? Pretty good imo. Next person comes along and puts it up for 1g.
wtf?
The next 10 to come along, bam bam bam bam..and now you can buy the bag off the AH for CHEAPER then it sells to NPCs. Yes, I buy them, sell to NPC.
Same for the CX. I have countless buy orders set at 100x for under NPC price. I get the items, sell to NPC, make money.
 
STOP with the huge under cuts, you are not helping the economy.

That would make me #2, then. The default interface has made me rich.

If you're one of the people who undercuts on the CX, you're really just shorting yourself, and everyone else out of money.
 
 
I've seen the price of Dual Hybrid Power cores, and Shadow Blast Fragments drop by 60g just because one person decided to undercut, then everyone else matched his/her price. It's insane. Items on the CX will ALWAYS be bought. Nobody is going to hold off on crafting an item they want, runing, etc just to save a few gold. They are going to buy these items immediately, or put up a buy order for lower. Nobody waits out the CX for Sell order prices to go down.
 
 
I wish more people understood this. Undercutting causes unpredictability in the economy, which is stupid. I undercut by 1 copper and I have never had an issue selling items that way. that way I get the most possible money, and don't ruin that item's price for all other sellers.

			I frequently undercut by large margins purely to troll the people who signed up for an RPG and play it like it's a stock market simulator. Yes, I know it results in much less gold for myself, but some things are more enjoyable than pretend money.	
----
			
i'm like you, op. i'll undersell by a enough to make people want to buy it right away.
 
if you go by the 1c lower, the next guy is gonna do that to you. if you go low enough, they either buy it themselves or just wait until yours sells.

			I set the price for tier 4 fabkits at 10g on my server (garden/mining/thicket, not relic).  People will try to buy me out and raise the price, which I find hilarious because I have enough supply to make about 500 more fabkits if I want to.  Unless you want to drop 50p, you're going to have a long day.

You must all absolutely loathe me. These posts are all delicious.

			I always match the lowest price instead of undercutting. If the lowest price is close to expiration I raise it a tiny bit. Better for me, better for the economy.

			  Nothing wrong with undercutting , I do it all the time , sell the item for whatever you think the item is worth .

Undercutting is fine, after all you are free to do what you like :)
 
However I would suggest that in highly liquid markets such as ore you aren't actually increasing the speed in which you will sell by lists 25c less rather than 1c less. This is because the people clicking buy now often dont care about price (so long as it is below some limit value) and will buy 200 ore regardless of it being 1s99c or 1s75c.
 
The less liquid (or higher value, but often items are both) the more under cutting magnitude will actually have an effect, especially on the AH (rather than CX).

 This is part of the problem. If 5 people think something is worth 10g, but you come along and say "nah, 1g", what is to stop the next person to come along and say "nope, 50s"? Then we are right were the economy is at.
A crappy economy in a game that has many money sinks.

			They worst people are the ones that keep undercutting, even when the sell price is already the same or less than what you could sell to the vendor. How stupid do you have to be not to understand that you are selling it for less than you could sell it to the vendor?? Every single item in the game shows you, when you hover over it, the price that the vendor will give you for that item. If you arent's sure whether that listed sell price is for the entire stack or for a single item, then some very simple testing can answer that for you.

			Apparently 'hurting the economy' equals 'the market's changed so I can't make as much money'.	
----
			This reminds me of the trigger fingers amp issue, despite the increase drop we still got the usual tycoons trying to make a buck.

			If you want to make plat from the CX/AH it is best to just ignore the people who who try to inject their own brand of "honor" (whatever that means) into the system. Coffee is for closers.	
----
			Hilariously most of the practices that are 'good for the economy' in this game'd be flat out illegal in the real world.  Price-fixing, collusion, etc...

			To tell the truth playing around with the CX is pretty much the reason why I still login to the game everyday now that I have done my runes.
