    Yeah, it is, I buy it quite often. No reason to buy it from the marketplace unless someone is selling it for even lower for some reason.

    Have you any idea how much of our economy is based on people not checking NPCs?

    And I guess as a "Marketboard Confession" I will say that I have made a tidy profit off buying the newest housing items from the vendors in the housing wards and listing them at a slightly higher price on the MB.

    Underhanded? Why yes it is, but if you don't do your research first to see how to obtain the item you want who am I to complain? (I do feel slightly bad, but come on, at least check the vendors first!)

    This 100 times over, made like 700k off those crafting vests the other week that u can buy for 11k at the vendor. Me and this other person were just running back and forth between the vendor and retainer bell. People seriously need to Google things first.

    As sad as it is, yes I do after I almost got suckered into it when a friend stopped me from overpaying. So I guess my marketboard confession is ever since then yes I do look up every item I want to have and see how and where its obtained before I buy anything off marketboard

    Or people who know the item comes from an NPC, but are too lazy to travel for it. As long as you don't get greedy with the markup, a lot of people would rather pay a modest convenience tax than go get it themselves. There's nothing wrong with providing a service people obviously want!
