Thread: Bazaar Available items timeout

I thought Available Items on the bazaar poofed in a week, but apparently I am mistaken.


When I bought a replacement, I put up a piece of junky (to me)armour for 100 credits in hopes that some newb could use it, but it didn't sell. I don't recall where I was at the time, and the location just says Corellia, Corellia. I haven't been able to retrieve it anywhere I tried, but figured it would go away soon.


It hasn't for well over a week, and I would like the bazaar slot back! Three questions:


1) What is the timeout really supposed to be now?

2) Is there any way to track down where this is?

3) Long time ago, there was a bug associated with bazaar items that gave them "Planetname,Planetname" locations that did not exist so they were not retrievable. Has that bug resurfaced?

1) I think it's still "supposed" to be 7 days. I think it's actually 30 days. If you pull up the item on the bazaar, and look at the details screen, I believe the timer will show you how much longer it will remain in the bazaar stockroom before it poofs.


2) Not that I'm aware of, but there are only 6 locations on Corellia with bazaar teminals (Vreni Island, Tyrena, Coronet, Doaba Guerfel, Bela Vistal, and Kor Vella). Just visit all six of those until you find it. Are you sure you didn't offer it to a player vendor, rather than a bazaar vendor?


3) I don't think this bug has reappeared, but there are some places that don't have specific regional names. For instance, when I was maintaining vendors just outside of Theed and Moenia, both locations were given as just "Naboo, Naboo."

I hadsort ofsimilar problem.The solution may or maynot help.


I was shopping on the bazaar and had it expanded to galaxy view. It said something like Plateau, Dantooine or something(dont remember exactly if that was it but location doesnt really matter). Well i deleted all my emails, then realized i had no idea where to retreive this item. What I did was go back to the bazaar under galaxy view and searched under a few different catergories until i found another cheap item up for sale from this location. So i bought it, just to get the noticfication email with the wp so I would have clue where to pick both this and the original item up.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did see the timer on the item, and it says now I have less than a week left, so I will just wait. They must be retained for 30 days, at least sometimes.


While I liked the idea about buying another item at the location to get a waypoint, it really isn't worth it now as I don't care about the armour, just the bazaar slot.


The lack of a map showing the areas like "platau" or whatever on planets is irritating, I have only the faintest idea where most are, and less concept of their boundaries. And many seem un-named and are just "Tatooine, Tatooine" or whatever. A map of those would also help me to know whether someone in a /who list was actually anywhere nearby. I once agreed to meet someone over /tell that turned out to be more than 10,000 meters away!
