Any time you start talking about multiplying the data you have to sort through by a factor of 50 to 100 you are talking about a datbase crippling enterprise. I am not suggesting that it isn't possible to over come I am suggesting that it is significantly burdensome as to be unlikely to be quickly implemented and even if it were your sorting method still doesn't change the fact that there are 50,000 FWG5's on the market in the galaxy and listing them all will be a nightmare.

And no I don't know that there are really 50,000 FWG5's on the market in the galaxy but I sold them 20 at a time on my one vendor!

I think the real issue here is that I don't feel the bazaar is the place to do all your online shoping in SWG. I think it is a place to get quick small purchases but not the place to make major item purchases. It is already hard to find what you want on the bazaar adding all the vendor sales would be worse. Add only the master items? Well ok but you say there won't be many of them..how does that really help the consumer that much?

I would much rather see a global advertising board of some kind..a buy/sell system where buyers and sellers could post advertisements (for a fee) of items they had for sale and items they wished to pruchase. This would help facilitate more commerce I think. I don't want you only running into my store grabbing and item and running out. I want you browsing my 6 vendors and finding stuff you didn't know you wanted.
