Now some idiot comes along and puts up 300 of the same module for just 100k, could someone explain the logic of this? can he not see that he is missing out on 300k every time he sells one?

I live in 0.0, Ive noticed that only a few systems have a decent market,

What really annoys me is when stupid pilots put up sell orders whose prices do not reflect the remoteness of the system.

I put 400 of a certain module on the market, for sale @ 400k, the traders in the area are also selling the same module for about that price, give or take 20k,

Now some idiot comes along and puts up 300 of the same module for just 100k, could someone explain the logic of this? can he not see that he is missing out on 300k every time he sells one?

god, some of u are so dopey its unbelievable, ive brought him out once, and he just built more, i think hes looking to get immidiate sales from me buying out his stuff, im not going to buy him out again,

so the only option is for me to reduce the price of my stuff to match his sales, then we will start a 0.01 isk war, obviously if he follows any sort of logic he would know that this is obviously going to end in a 0.01 isk war.

therefore, why didnt he just undercut me by 0.01 and keep his price nearer the 400k mark, surely he can see the 0.0 residents have no chioce.

i suppose trying to get any logic from an eve player is a silly and pointless task.

Your lack of understanding is not anyone else's lack of logic.

I sense you've been trolled, unfortunately. However your above statement rings true to the countless times this question has been posed.

Surely you can see we are both gonna miss out on 300k per module? lol

I see that you are gonna miss it. He apparently is not. But then you are following his plans for you very well indeed.

What is he doing? What is his logic?

He is poisoning the well, souring the milk, basically ruining your market so that you will leave. Once that happens, prices go back to "normal". Profiteering may once again commence.

You are trapped into seeing what you could've made and you are focusing on that... alone. He's looking past your silly butt to a future without you. Of course I'm also yearning for that future as well.

There is no such thing as a reputation from an anonymous market. price rules. nothing else.

and if i never leave what then? 0.01 isk price war thats what.

Whichever way u decide to look at it, the end result is 0.01 price war. It appears you and this stupid market trader cant see past your own silly butts.

The way I look at it is that the amount of ISK I have is just some data in a database. Same with all my ships, equipment, POSes, even my Guardian Vexor is just a collection of ones and zeros on a hard disk in the docklands. And unlike real life where shiney bits of metal are always shiney bits of metal the stuff in Eve can, and does change or even disappear.

So this had led to to believe that the only thing that is worth bothering with is my reputation. Mainly cause this can not be changed at the whim of a CCP developer. Also because it is unique to me.

So when I build stuff I add on a reasonable markup and sell my stuff at that price. Hopefully over time my customers will see that I sell my stuff at a fair price and so my reputation with them will go up. The profit that I make may be lower than the absolute maximum profit I could have made. But if I go down that route then I am in danger of getting a reputation as a rip off merchant.

And I would rather not have that reputation.
