How's he an idiot?
He's probably in the same situation you're in.

The only time I get irritated is when I am trying to sell a large amount of items in the MP as fast as I can and people undercut me by like 1 gold REPEATEDLY. I don't mind if you undercut me once or twice or by a few k it's all part of the game but when you do it to the point that I can't sell my stuff then I start to get pissy. I don't do it very often but I will and have gone into undercutting wars with people when they piss me off enough.

As for skull heads it is annoying that he is undercutting you by 1k but for an item that sells so slowly that's almost to be expected. There is far more supply than there is demand out there.

No, my situation is i could sell for 1.3mill cause i got for 1.275, But i don't wanna cause then someone will under cut me by who knows and the price will be stuck at lower then i bought it for, that is why, but if you are going to undercut at-least make it by enough that it sells?

I've been trying to unload a Kanoko level lonely star for days now and people keep undercutting me.

I think last year I came across a guy who's entire thing was to undercut people, his username was even iUndercut- something.

I do it myself though so I guess I really can't hate them totally.

What bugs me more is when people undercut by a lot. 50-100k. Then the price will go down, because more people will list that low. If they undercut me by 1g or a few k then whatever.

I hate when that happens to me. I'm a very impatient person sometimes, so when this goes on I just end up taking the item out of the marketplace & just keeping it until later & just sell something else.
