The simple answer is buy out your secondary market and there for remove your competition in prices. Resell (since your clearly saying they are selling under your price) for a profit.

They move the items quickly which is WHY they are pricing them under you, You get to regulate the prices by simple supply/demand, AND you make a profit off every sell that way.


Krey-

no, that's not the simple answer, and that's why i hate this attitude (hence the name of this thread). If I did that I'd end up with no way to dump them because the price of the items i'm selling doesn't actually matter. What matters is if there's someone in the tunnel that needs it.

The only way for you to lowball an item to move it quickly is to price it so that someone who flips items would buy it because they know they can sell it for more. People who put prices in their auctions thinking it will make it sell faster are just delusional - as if the 100pp price cut will magically make someone who actually needs the item immediately buy it.

I know these things because I've been living them since 1999. I can't tell you how often I've sat in the tunnel while other people are actively auctioning black sapphire jewelry at a price point, say, 2300pp, with the price in the auction, and i've auctioned mine sans price. Someone sees mine, I tell them 2500pp, and they immediately buy it because it's not an unreasonable price and they JUST looked at /auction. Happens All. The. Time.
