Doom Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Of course selling the cheapest on the market is the fastest way but when someone sells for 1$ less then you, then I take it as them attacking your economy. Anyone else have thoughts? All hail Irken All hail the Tallest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoS Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 This isn't the "price is right". No one owns a price point. I could just as easily argue that anyone that sells aluminum below $2500 is undercutting my price point. Just because your price is the most recent doesn't mean a damn thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 You basically have to be undercutting somebody to sell what you have at all times. There's only so many resources in the game and people are always going to go for the cheapest one. I certainly wouldn't take it personally, but there are some people that do go overboard with the undercutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I agree, what im refering to is a certain someone who would target some people and sell 1$ under them.You may not sell the cheapest but I would assume you would want people to be fair with your price and not just play with your income by messing with the market in their favor.

Doom Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) An example. I sell food at 150$. Fair price, I dont go any more or any less. I recived a message by someone asking to buy my food i was selling for 145$. I told him to go buy it off the market, Im not droping the price. He then decided to put up an offer of food at 149$ and claimed , It better this way. Edited November 16, 2014 by Doom All hail Irken All hail the Tallest!

Ollysho Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 As much as it kind of sucks as a seller, its part of what a player based economy is. People compete and the prices get brought down 1 [22:36:30] <&CMDR_Adama> I want to be spanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwynn Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It's not a direct attack, it's simply making your price the most reasonable price while maximizing potential income from sales. He's right, I'm such a stinker. Play my exceptional game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 It is when someone spicificlly targets you and only price cuts your sales. 1 All hail Irken All hail the Tallest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Unfortunately that's how our market flowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I no i no, but if one person makes it a goal to price cut every deal you make. That HAS to be an economical attack. He may not know it but it is. All hail Irken All hail the Tallest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Price cutting is a norm in the market, undercutting you isn't an attack on your economy. And how would you know he is only undercutting you alone? Edited November 17, 2014 by Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 He claimed to be, and looking at most of his sales, they are were 1$ short of mine only after I told him I wouldnt sell my stuff cheeper.

Vincent Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not sure who you are referring to but I believe it might be New India , but to go to war because of this isn't really justified . And I think he is doing it basically to everyone. and he does sent some trade offer to buy at extremely low price or offer to sell at price higher then the lowest at the market at the moment. That's my experience with him. I think he is just playing the market , that's all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thats not the reason Im at war with him haha. All hail Irken All hail the Tallest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Gorbachev Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 That's really obnoxious and I'm glad he hasn't sent those messages to me. I am in a pretty notably strong alliance though, and I'm starting to get involved representing it, so hopefully he's just scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegoz Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Only problem I have with Price cutting is when they cut so low that it actually cost them more to produce it than what they are selling it for. [11:52 PM] Prefontaine: But Keegoz is actually bad. [11:52 PM] Prefontaine: He's my favorite bad leader though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iljohn Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I really don't see the problem in this he is just playing the market to the best of his ability I can name off a few people who do just the same and also I am positive and I mean positive that he is not just undercutting you so its clearly not a economic attack directed at you (^。^)y-.。o○ (-。-)y-゜゜゜ this is how i make my cloud http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag291/petgangster/efb30519-f381-4330-a62b-11db0d2a058b_zpscilyk2rj.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
