You will sell yours they won't either your competitors adapt or lose money, just like any other business.
or they will wholesale from your cheap price and make a profit selling at theirs (which is fine 100%)

there is nothing simple about uo economics..

As someone who spent a lot of their early days bulk buying bottles and scrolls from NPC vendors, and selling them for double the price on ExEx, I can confirm that I would definitely do the above.

Exactly, and this drives the prices down, which is the point. :)

how does that drive the cost down?

exactly.. it doesn't that wasn't what i was saying at all

if person a) dips the price and person b) cleans them out to wholesale

the price has been dipped for 5 minutes.. that was my point.. the second the 1 player wholesales from the other its right back where you started, and players chimed in after telling you darn right this happens now.
