Those items are rarely put on marketboard and there is nearly no way to farm them as people just step back from party finder when it comes up to farming groups without being undersized. They all just farm ponies and tank mounts, but no way to get all those "old" items one needs for one of the few weapons with glow/effects or for all those nice furnishing items. And trying DF ends in endless minutes of waiting without a chance...
Why not put all these in a treasure chest as well? Just make it like: 100% gear drop + 10% pony drop + 10% item drop. That would be like 100% chance on 1 chest, 10% chance on 2 chests and 1% chance on all 3 chests. That would be fair and the chance to see one of those on the market would be significantly higher than now.

I mean, SE will start the housing reclamation timer with 3.1 but is unable to offer a system where there are enough drops on the market board to fulfill the new house-owners wishes? Prices will be like 5 times higher, thats what I fear - and that only in case there is at least on offer on the market, what I doubt.

On Lich most items are sold out and from what I heard from Zodiark, some prices are like 55,000,000...well, good job SE.
