Until the game allow us to treat store inventories as b2b offer and allow us to buy them, there is no good strategy to counter that other than just ignore them.

I don't see the logic in your "bombs" if it's unprofitable. Why throw your own potential profit down the drain just to try and hurt the little guy? I guess if your goal is to stamp out the company it might discourage them to the point of quitting/resetting if you keep "bombing" their market, but more than likely you'll just force him to diversify - moving into and "dumping" more and more of the products you're selling. I've seen folks doing the same in my markets. I generally just ignore them. If it's profitable to continue selling in those markets I do so, if it isn't I change my slots to something else until it is profitable again.

I set my farm goods at the price I needed and just rode it out. Not always the most profitably, then move to another product that fared better. Your "bombs" also hurt players taht are trying to be smarter than the world AVERAGE selling price might indicate. Though, I also have to wonder at your production costs, if others are selling less than it costs you to produce, what are you doing differently? I have to question Kabal's approach. If the market is actually paying a higher price, and the demand is still at under 60%, and for sure under 50%, why go from $30 to $6.15 because the computer formula tells you to? I have done well with ice-cream, importing and selling in the $30's. Then my own production Q's got into the high 20's, and the MSRP is like $8. But the market is still burning me right out of product in the $30 range. So why would I drop it? There are unreasonably high prices in certain goods, and you have to do what you feel is right there. But for me, it is more a matter of demand than cost or production rates.
