If people would effin' haggle, prices would set themselves in the same manner.

When I went shopping for an item in the bazaar, and found one for 1p less than another... I'd buy the higher priced one just because I thought the 1p less was a dick move. Kind of like The Price Is Right bidding... A bids 100 B bids 101 and wins...

I always thought, if you're going to undercut, then DO it! If someone has an item up at 200... a proper undercut is 185.

I always price matched (as I do in EC) and let fate decide who sold.

That's great! I would do exactly the same thing. Undercutting by 1p just seemed a weiner move.

There is no "proper" undercut, anything that is one unit of the lowest currency less than the other lowest price for said item is 100% perfectly valid.

This extends to real life as well, there are no intrinsic "rules" to sales.

Bazaar ftw btw.
