Why someone can put A LOT of his craft goods lower than his cost?

For example 15 slots rugged leather bag
- 1 Rune of Holding = 50s (sell by NPC / more expensive in TP)
- 10 Cured Rugged Leather Square = 20 Rugged * 15c = 3s
Total cost = 53s

But he put them at 45-49s !!!???
Is aw around 20+ea always on market in this few day and it look like by many merchant.

Am i missing something? like a lot of them can drop now?
Is he genius or just a fool who miss calculate tax?

Bags are not soul bound on use, so you can use a 15 slot bag for month, then sell it to buy a larger bag.
With that in mind, it’s certainly possible, that someone upgraded all their character’s bags and ended up selling the previous bags slightly below market price. What seems like a net loss to you, might not be a net loss for someone else, who used those bags and made a profit by storing items in those bags.

Hi Vlejundo

What you said is 1 possible way but not for this case.

There always someone put that bag below the cost like 49-59s as 2nd-hand bag.
He didn’t want much profit just get some of his gold back, that i can understand.

Only few 2nd-hand 1 -3 bag on TP at a time.

This few day is like… 20-30 ea new post up all time ,
Like there are 3 -4 merchants smash each other in this insane undercut war even they all selling loss profit.

Just over saying :}
I believe they have good reason to do this. BUT HOW? lol

Maybe because people are replacing their current 15 slot bag with the 15 slot gift box. Imagine if just 50% of the players who own 15 slot bags replace 1 of theirs with that gift box, then there would certainly be an abundance of supply and therefore a drop in prices?

This is assuming that those 20-30 new posts comprises individual sell orders from individual players.

That’s just my guess.

Your guess is really make sense here.
I just noticed , from before there always some seller put 30-40 of his goods right away.

But this is different, not event 1 sell list have more than 5-6 ea.
Hope your guess is right!! thx

If you’re seeing the cheap bags it’s a temporary thing from a ton of people selling a bag they’re replacing with the free 15 slot tixx bag.

Should be back roughly to normal eventually. Might take a few days.

Considering how easy it is to get 20 slot bag, yeah bag business is really going down quick.

There’s a few situations i can think of:
- Replacing their old bags and selling it off cheap
- trying to craft and sell bags for profit, after a long time they havn’t sold so they opted to dump the bags for a loss to get back the capital and reinvest it elsewhere
