I've noticed a trend on Asura that really pisses me off with undercutting, though not in the normal sense. I'm going to explain my pet peeve with a real example that has happened recently.

A stack of Black Sole are 50k on AH. When putting mine up for 50k they NEVER SELL because someone has always put it at 49,999 or something lower and lower in stupid amounts to get theirs to sell first.

This causes others to go lower and lower until eventually someone puts it up for something much much lower, thus crashing the market (in this case it went to 40k, not 'too' bad but avoidable for sellers).

THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS AVOIDABLE. Considering that around 20 stacks are on at a time and around 18 sell a day that means that if EVERYONE put their stack on for 50,000 EXACTLY then it would take 2 days for everyone's to sell for that cycle. That way everyone gets money, and all you had to do was wait 1-2 days instead of half a day for it to sell.

TL;DR - Stop putting stuff on AH for silly prices to sell faster (e.g. 49,856 for a 50k item that sells fast).

You're like Quilly. He has the patience I used to have as a kid. Having a kid of my own totally killed that. :p
