Title: Selling at highly discounted prices
Post by: TheMycologist on March 27, 2013, 03:23 am
It seems as though on SR certain products are greatly inflated in price. If I were to sell said product for, say, half the normal going rate, what would be the consequences? A ton of bad feedback from competitors wrecking my reputation? Is there such a thing as "turf" when selling, or is SR truly a free market?

What will happen is you'll run out of stock quickly while all your first batch of product stays in escrow while everyone waits for autofinalization. When you have no more product and no bitcoins to show for it yet, people will forget about you and continue to do business with the existing vendors.
