Underpricing is where you knock off the items original worth by a few gb or sb. Making it cheaper and hence go faster. As people go for the cheaper items. As for why they do it? It’s because if for example you have 2 buffalo scrotums up for trade. And you put one up for 25gb (it’s true worth at this example) then one up for 15gb. Which will go first? The 15gb one obviously because it’s CHEAPER. People underprice other people in order to get a quick Buck or sell their items faster and more efficiently.

Here’s a perfect example of my point. This is an interstellar app. Once very popular…now not so much.



Now the interstellar app is at its highest (in my screenshot) at 100
Then it’s under cut by 1gb at 99, then by 5 at 95, then at 90, 85, 80, 75, 65, 64, 60 ETC. you get the point. Each time a new one is listed it is cut down by 1 or 5 gb. This is because they want it to be cheaper than the last so that it will get bought out rather then the correctly priced one.
This all determines on the original and truthful worth of the item.

YES! Under some circumstances you will have an item that isn’t on the market, other than one trade, let’s use…buffalo scrotums for example. Let’s say it’s mid September and there is ONE single buffy up for 100GB. Now, there’s no other trades but you want to list yours.. do you go down to 99..? The answer is no. Because truthfully the 100gb trade is OVERPRICED. What to do in this situation is to list up a trade for a buffalo scrotums CORRECT pricing. Let’s say 40gb. (Chat can help you will pricing) - that is an extremely fair undercut.

Healthy underpricing is when you undercut the original worth by a few sb, or 1-2 GB. look at it this way. I’ve got two items here
For the purpose of this example let’s say buffalo scrotums correct worth and pricing are 50

Which one will be bought here? The 15gb one.. understandably. This is Unhealthy underpricing.

Now what about these ones..?

Which one will be bought? The 49.. EXACTLY! as it is STILL cheaper. Obviously not as cheap as 15GB but it IS CHEAPER. This is Healthy underpricing.

My point is that taking 1gb off of a trade is JUST as effective as taking 5gb off. We should all thrive to price out items correctly so that they are sold fairly.

Take gb sales for an example. During January 2024 the price was around 800 sb. (Avoiding the fact it’s because the shop took sb) And how exactly does it get like this?

Let’s say there’s 1 gb up for 1000sb. Someone undercuts the sb by 50sb. Meaning that (since GB sales works as cheapest on top) they will be in the lead and gb sales will now be 950sb each. Gb doesn’t sell TOO fast. Meaning that ultimately people stack up on lowballing, so someone will go into sales and price their gb at 900sb - to appear on top. And if that gb isn’t sold in a good time someone else will go in and lowball their gb at gb= 890sb. And it just CONTINUES. Until someone comes though and gb is bought at a rate fast enough that none is put back up and gb can resume the cycle all over again.

AND TRUST ME! I’m not saying we should all never undercut, as I understand it but we should thrive to HEALTHY undercut. As if the top gb is 1000sb =1gb just by taking off ONE SB. you will be put right at the top of that list, as if you took off 50.

This will slow the process down if we do it 1sb each time. Meaning that the sales will be able to stabilise itself - and this is the exact same with items.
