Sure, if you're not the one doing it, someone else will, but 20g (multiplied by however many) can be earned with three clicks on the AH just buying and reselling.<br /><br />Selling cheap to your competition is worth more to them than the difference in prices; you're effectively reducing their workload so they can focus on other avenues of income. All that ore they no longer have to process can be tied up in other projects or crafts.<br /><br />I'd say settle in for a long drawn out undercut fight, or find another market. For 20g, it just isn't worth maintaining.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422751499453942570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386530415108910452.post-12083205569923334572011-09-10T14:39:05.458+12:002011-09-10T14:39:05.458+12:00Market leader is largely overrated.

If you do - then you become market leader of a potentially worthless market.<br /><br />If they are stubborn (and not many are), then it's a race to the bottom. If they are not stubborn, then any reasonable strategy will see them off.Foohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444693774790165427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386530415108910452.post-10446447256934829782011-09-10T13:07:41.303+12:002011-09-10T13:07:41.303+12:00No offense guys, but telling him to sell at 80g (o...No offense guys, but telling him to sell at 80g (or 75 or 61g) because it's profitable is basic advice that Lemmonade already knows. We all know. <br /><br />IMO it's actually bad advice. This because if its profitable at 61g for Lemmonade it will definitely be profitable for his competitor which probably can craft for lower because this is his market. So all that will happen is both of them crashing price to just above craft price until one guy finally gives up. In this scenario my money's on the competitor. RAH doesnt just mean he remotely relists. To a Market Leader, RAH means that guy has a gajillion stock in his pocket because you cant craft in RAH only list. He's in it for the long haul.<br /><br />He needs a better business plan than "if its profitable sell, stop if its not".<br /><br />Remember there can only be one Market Leader. At the moment the other guy is the ML. Lemmonade doesnt deserve market share if he's not strong enough to compete. I believe he can, but only if he draws out his battle plans well because belt buckles is a simple market unlike gems/glyphs/enchants which have much more variables involved. The simplest markets are the hardest to dominate in because anyone and everyone can do them.Critical Goblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421877253647301675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386530415108910452.post-11022884031830728582011-09-10T11:52:19.575+12:002011-09-10T11:52:19.575+12:00I agree with Foo.

If you are able to craft for 60g, then you can still make a lot fo gold selling at 79 or 80 gold per buckle.<br /><br />Stop trying to selling at the Old Values, when the cost to craft has come crashing down.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386530415108910452.post-7063527049463138612011-09-10T11:38:12.060+12:002011-09-10T11:38:12.060+12:00To be honest the best advice Critical can give Lem...To be honest the best advice Critical can give Lemmonade is set your goal and plan how to achieve it. Be firm with your goal, be flexible with your plan.<br /><br />This wont be a simple fight. The above is only the first battle of the war.Critical Goblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421877253647301675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386530415108910452.post-67680940176978916352011-09-10T03:52:09.128+12:002011-09-10T03:52:09.128+12:00It's simple.

Offer to sell as many buckles as he wants to buy, and flood market at 80g.<br /><br />I don't care about owning a market, only selling stuff at a profit. If your competiton wants to grant you guaranteed sales @20g profit/item, it still beats farming.<br /><br />Once your competiton starts re-posting your buckles at a loss, then I agree with critical - lower both your fallback and threshold.Foohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444693774790165427noreply@blogger.com
