[Suggestion] Icon/tooltip indicating if an item can be bought from a vendor

[Niwashi]

How big would that items tool tip be to include every vendor.

It doesn't need to take up extra tooltip space. On the item tooltip, just the gil price would be enough, and that can share the same line where it already shows the price vendors will pay for an item.

As for where to get it, we already have search features both for items we have and recipes we know. This would just be a third search option (more like the item search), for where an item can be bought/traded. Just like the chat box lists every slot where we or any of our retainers have a given item when we search for it, it can list every vendor who sells or trades an item (and who would sell/trade with us). Sure, if it's a long list, you might have to maximize the chat box to view it all, but there's really no lack of space there.

Also I will quite often buy things on the market board at a higher price just for the sake of convenience. If I need rock salt or something I can probably buy 99 of the market board for 4 or 5k Gil. If I go to a vendor probably 1k Gil. Plus the cost of the teleport and the extra time. Might take me 5 minutes longer and only save me 2000 Gil. Not effecient

Choosing to pay a bit extra from the market board for convenience sake is fine. Paying a thousand times what something's worth because it looked as though that were your only option isn't so fine.

Honestly, it seems the only reason for anyone to argue against this is because they like taking advantage of people in the later case, those who aren't choosing convenience, but simply being duped. After all, being given the info wouldn't prevent any sales from those who like the MB's convenience. It would only impact sales from those who were stuck with it as the only choice they could find. I don't think enabling sellers who are deliberately trying to scam their buyers is a valid reason to object to this suggestion.
