What they don't understand is that the glyph WILL sell no matter what the price (within reason) because "its a one-time deal and once i have it i don't need it again" mentality kicks in. I just buy it, thank them for the stock and relist it. Problem is, is that they now relist more at that price and continue their bad habits without learning how something works (ie visiting forums like this & reading/learning).
Undercutting by anything that is NOT rational is just plain stupid. NOW......... if someone is undercutting by a significant amount as an AH tactic, that's different. By all means do it. I have done that from time to time (works great on ah bots) and it works well if you understand how the market fluctuates, like a lot of people have stated here. Unfortunalty, the average player doesn't care or even care to understand how the ah econ works; they just want the quick buck which hurts people trying to run their in-game business; again as they've stated to me "I don't give an F".
But if you repost your shit at 20g cause you feel that you want to help out your fellow gamer... yur an idiot. People could care less about that and I doubt any of you are getting in-game mails stating how much they appreciate your low prices. Just consider it more stock for me and expect an in-game mail from me thanking you. Hopefully, you run out and eventually realize that you are not making any money and move on a more profitable prof that you fail at.
