What happens when multiple lots are listed at the same price is that when you sort by price, the oldest offer at the same price is listed first. So essentially by matching someone else's price you wait in line. So .08 will come and go, and the .09 will move up the list as older offers disappear and new ones fal lin behind you.

Then there's always the chance someone won't even bother to select power or sort by price and will just see yours by chance and grab it.

The only thing to worry about is if the price moves. If enough people start selling at .08 that it never sells out - eventually it could drop down to .07 and strand your offer up there. That doesn't happen very often but it is something to consider. For example go look up Lemons. There are about 10 pages of Lemon offers, dating as far back as the first contest 3 months ago. They've just been sitting out there because the market moved lower and the offer got stranded.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't price the way ilCapo does, but just keep in mind it can happen.

Knolls, you're right about what you're saying but in the case of the raw materials, and specially the Power, the demand is so high and constant that the chances to get stucked on the merket are really low.

On other not so popular products the risk is higher.
