Yes, thou i wouldn’t say its “Massive” to be honest. Other people have made larger ones durring the time I took my 10 month break, also I started focusing on Kindling which is larger then my combustion farm at this time, and I made a row of it around the world.

Wait a minute…
At less than 10 you can go buy it tax free, why are you complaining if someone else is selling it cheaper than a taxed price you when you can just buy it up and mark it up to a price over 10?

They were 15 before! I could always dump them at the request baskets for 15…
If I was making them available for sale at my own shop, for 15, they use to go. Now there is nobody coming…

What are the side effects?
Other players may do the same to remain competitive to sell their product. and if they keep undercutting eachother and over again then you will have multiple shops that are now offering their products for below market price, which will then lead to players to believe that those prices are the new normal. and the prices may not return to old normal unless the market drys up.

I’m not an economist, but it sounds like you’re describing a new market price. If someone adds supply to the market at a lower price and it isn’t sold out to either normal demand or flippers, that means it is, in fact, the new normal price.
Once the supply decreases due to decreased profit, or the demand increases due to lower prices (which could be caused by normal purchases or investment purchases), the price will go back up.
If supply doesn’t get bought out at the lower price, then there wasn’t enough demand to drive the price back up to the old price, which means the old price was wrong.

Nor am I, so anything I say about such things should be taken with a pile of Salt.

I see, I thought your “side effects” were going to be something new or unusual, since you were quoting… someone.
Undercutting is a normal part of supply and demand. If someone wants to move goods quickly, they undercut. If the undercut price is actually below market price, then their goods will sell out quickly and the price will go up.
There is always someone willing to wait for a higher market price, and there is always someone wanting to sell quickly. The market goes up and down based on the interactions of those two groups and the corresponding buyers (waiting for a deal and needing to fulfil right away).
Without monopolies, the market price will very rarely be wrong.

The quote was not related to undercutting, you can click on the little down Arrow to see who I was quoting.
It was refering to how most players in this game either want things to be cheap, or in high enough supply so they can just go out and get it for free very easy and everyone should be a winner with no rare items that only the fastest people can get to.

I remember request price for oort was at best 250, it increased when almost everyone did the candy cane hunts and dried up the market.

So we are here talking about a 5c difference?
Kind of lost atm.
Any and all prices fluctuate…
To be fair if i have loads of any type of material and I want to remove it from my storage (talking about multiple chests full), as i have done before.
i plop it in stands and dirt cheap price on average a bit more then a fully coiled minter. And probably to cheap for the market.
Most times items sell “eventually” even if its an older price. Some might even buy at a more expensive stand because of how much it holds. (Would suggest plop it in stands just for this reason)
[example]
Oort
There was a time oort would not be sold if the asking price was around current prices.
But even now it drops frequently in price as reserves are filled op.
(Still remember the first year on antar used to buy it at 180c and when moved to Lamblis i had to go up in price to buy oort.)
Or look at gems (went down in price) and metals (copper/iron went up in price) all because the “bigger” players eventually only mined on high tier planets.
Just saying it isn’t the “end” of a material when the price lowers. If there is a demand for it, it will go up again.
Just wait and see.
(Just how i see it)
small tip use wooden tools easy to replace and cost less coin (have 3x3 on those “easy forge” and don’t break other blocks with those).
Not sure but with my builder (max speed) I can’t keep up with planting and miss a lot of spots (am probably doing replanting wrong 
).

Lol was just writing that ah the cheap oort day’s 
For those who thought they’d make lots of money on combustion and kindling I can easily explain what’s happened. It’s called being late to the market because I can assure you I made plenty of money on both.
