MMO-Champion BlueTracker - The idiots that undercut by 1s..

What the hell is with that!? I've started to get annoyed at the people that think it's acceptable to undercut an AH price by ONE silver...

Now, I'm not talking about the little low level items! Im talking about gems, epic items, etc.

If you're going to undercut someone at least make it by lets say at least a few gold or something!

My AH is literally like this;

Search: Dragon's Eye

305g
305g - Same seller
304g 98s
304g 97s
304g 97s
304g 95s

etc etc.

It goes all the way down to 304g in spouts of 3-5 silver... I've started just scrolling to the seller that's been sensible enough to undercut the next guy by a few gold and by his - I'd rather spend another gold than give those players the satisfaction of "HA! I SOLD MINE FOR 1S LESS THAN YOO!!!"

Come on children! You don't go into the real world and undercut by a penny!

Re: The idiots that undercut by 1s..

I seem to have found myself stuck in a glyph undercutting war on the AH. I don't like undercutting, so I usually price match my glyphs to match the current low price. Then a short while later, someone else comes along and undercuts my buyout price. Then someone undercuts them. So I have to keep dropping the price or else mine won't sell. And they usually undercut by too little for it to be worthwhile me buying them out.

When the prices drop radically down to near zero, I wince. Sometimes I just don't post up those glyphs again till the market dries up again. Not quite sure how to get out of it, other than to either keep doing it or give up and don't bother selling on the AH.
