Artisan Archive

I am an artisan and i now have eng 3. I decide to place some harvetser on the bazzar to make a few credits. I see they have a spot in the bazzar for instalations, houses, factories, and harvesters. So I tried to place the item in the bazzar and put a price of 5K and it said the price i was asking was too high. Is this correct. If it is how are you suposed to sell any instalations on the bazzar. The highest price item i saw on the bazzar was 3k. Is this the way it is supposed to be?

There is a 3000 credit limit on the bazzar.

Yes, it is to make people have their own shops. It is needed.

Yep - If you want to sell over 3K, it has to go in your personal vendor.

shouldn't try to sell a personal harvester for 5k in the first place 1500 going rate right now...

u could try selling it on the street...just /yell out that u selling harvesters...ppl always looking for them.

If you get orders for people willing to pay 5k let me know so i can sell them for 2k, lol.

Yup - 5K way too much - think I sold 1 or 2 for like 1650 and saw some sitting in the Bazaar at 1800-2000, probably still sitting there (no doubt by newbie Engis too with low ql resources and no experimentation)

I thought the cap was 3k, i have read in a couple of other threads that people saw items on the bazaar for over 3k? Is this a bug or do people not know what they are talking about?

I think merchent profession allows for selling items for > 3k credits

I have never been a 'merchant'but i believe that at higher levels, they can 'tie into' the bazaar with sells from their own merchants (which they can price at whatever they like). When you purchace one of the items, it gives you the waypoint to their shop.

Any merchants who can confirm this?

On the contrary, I can confirm that it is not so at the moment. Just look at the skill tree. I got Novice Merchant from the Merchant Exp off my vendor, and am thinking it is a waste of the money I paid the trainer.

My NPC vendor is nicer lookingthan the bulky vending machine, and seems cheaper to pay, but I have heard that they are bugged badly at the moment. Can't say I have seen a problem yet tho. It will take a while for the price difference to justify the 5K training cost.

After training up more skill points and getting a bunch of exp, a merchant will get a 4cr/item discount on bazaar costs -- whoopie!

Being a merchant is fun. Wheeling and dealing, an excuse to tour while looking for bargains, a good reason to have a house of your own, profits to fund whatever else you might want. Good stuff. But you don't get anything beyond Business 3 that really adds to that at the moment. The profession itself is largely useless.
