“Why cut price few silver less, better few gold less!”
“Oh noes! why ecto is so expensive!? I have no munnies maybe I shouldn’t sell my items so cheap so i could afford it?”

This one is amused by the stunning display of ignorance that is the original post.

Absolutely. The person who is selling items for decent sums of money is the same player that is complaining about not having money. You are sure on to something here. There is no way possible that the people who worry about things getting too expensive are not the same people who can make decent gold and undercut for a profit.

Teach me the ways of reasoning.

Maybe he cut the price by a lot because it’s obviously overpriced to begin with? He looked at the buy orders and saw that the discrepancy is huge.

It’s like how I saw a rare dagger for 90s a week back. Why the hell would I list it for 89s and blow away my listing fee when that price is ridiculous? Buy order was only at 35s, so I listed it at a safer 45s.

A good undercut does speed up selling items because a buyer will see the listings and think “oh that’s a good price, I should buy it before someone else does” as opposed to many similar prices, in which case they’ll just buy it when they need it.

Although this depends on the item in questions of course.

Looks like that item just isn’t moving at the current prices so the price has been going down steadily. No point in wasting coins on a sell order that will never sell.

“Oh noes! why ecto is so expensive!? I have no munnies maybe I shouldn’t sell my items so expensive so others could afford them?”

Ah… now it makes sense.
