Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
If the items sell, then the price does not drop permanently. Just keep your items at market value and you'll sell them eventually. Lower prices sell faster though, but don't make as much profit. If the new price sticks, then yes, the price was too high, because obviously the demand would be not high enough to buyout all the cheap items.
If I undercut it's because I want the item gone and am not worried about profits so much. Feel free to buy those and relist, we'll both be happier in the end. When I get a bigger-ticket item that I care about how much I sell it for, I usually go with the prices on the AH.
If some ignorami undercut by a lot, you buy them out and relist at a proper price. Profit!
Because players can still go in and choose the price they buy. So, you can still buy the cheapest one available. The update did nothing to stop undercutting.

So you are mad that you can't jack up the prices and people will just pay you anyway. The greed is obvious.

It's also annoying me to no end. I had some Sacred Shards I wanted to sell and the price was 200g yesterday. Now I've come back and have sold nothing - the price has dropped to 100g after being at 200g for weeks, because people constantly list stacks of 200 shards for 10g less than the current price.
I don't get it. Just stop, seriously.
You're making AH players rich by that. By rich I mean rich. People purposefully list 1 item at ridiculously low prices hoping to get someone like you to just dump boat load of items for near free, which they then buy and relist the 1 item to begin again. We're not talking minor undercutting, we're talking 1g for fast selling 150g each sort of items prices. Blizzard invented the perfect system for scammers.
Also, on topic: I like to sell my items rather than play 1 silver undercuts literally every 5 seconds when some AH goblin nolifer reposts their shit to undercut me by completely worthless amounts. I don't have time nor interest for 10 hours a day at AH relisting stuff. So, personally I undercut in 10% range.
I do it just to piss of people like you.
To be honest, it gives me pleasure if someone gets upset about it.
I got enough gold already so I don't care about making more and pretty much only use for consumables.
I am never going to pay monthly with it nor never going to buy boosts. Not even epic Boes. It is about principles. Only get mounts that I like aswell but rarely vendor ones.
Of course I also make sure it is not too low so botsnipers wont make massive profit.

Working customer support really has made me support genocides.
If it's not selling, why bother putting it up at the higher price?
How much is clicking a button in your UI really worth to another player?
Most items in WoW don't drop in price as a result of crazy undercutting. They drop in price as a result of their genuine value decreasing.
This means that the best time to sell the majority of items is right now. The way to achieve that is to be the cheapest around. You might not get the optimal price, but it is by far the lowest risk strategy to get a reasonable price, instead of sitting on an item until it depreciates into worthlessness.
They do.
Why do you think shops make ads showing the price of their goods being just below that of a competitor on certain items? A handful of something at 95g when the entire rest of the page is at 100g, there's a good chance someone looks at that and goes "sweet, a bargain, I'll buy the entire stack". Where if you'd listed at 100g, maybe that person wouldn't have bought the lot, increasing the chance of someone buying half your stack, the other half then getting replaced as newest listing, and the global value of the item dropping in that time.
At expansion launch - quick sale. If trying to get the absolute maximum sale price goes wrong in the opening weeks your items will depreciate hard.

Because I like to see two messages in my mail box. One is a message complaining about how I'm ruining the AH market. The second is the same player having bought all my stuff. Also because I don't really bother with the AH much and I'm just offloading crap I don't need.
