1) Don't blindly undercut the current market price.

4) Check the market news before selling.
5) Check eestats before selling.
6) If you're going to ignore my advice, at least don't undercut the market price by hundreds or thousands of dollars per unit! Try just a few dollars less. Dantzig says only you can prevent market crashes.

I think it is reasonable to assume there is basically a fixed amount of money to be spent on tech/goods in a day and that people who sell more cheaply get bought more quickly and that any individual seller has little effect since their goods are bought and the price reverts high again. Until there are a number of undersellers who sell a volume*price > $$ to be spent then the price does not effectively drop. In a basic sense if supply is at all greater than demand then a market crash is inevitable and whether it happens over one day or two is irrelevant.

for 1-3, hopeful thinking, if bushels price is at 50+ its totally sure that some1 sells at at 45 or under.

I will say for maximum personal gain, you should not blindly undercut the current prices.

and still many sell food, military, techs and oil much cheaper than current market price. example turrets price is 140-150 and some1 sells those at 110-120 and next seller sees current price being that does minor uncut etc so it can cause avalanche on prices.

What detmer said in his second post;

However, from a purely I-Like-Running-Cashers point of view.... ALWAYS UNDERCUT!!! BUSHELS FOR $32! TECH FOR $999!!! TROOPS FOR $99
