My merchant sells NOTHING, I don't understand...

[Disposition96]

I've had items up for weeks at STUPID low prices and nothing ever sells... I can't understand why, like I have a bone harpoon up for 1K, a Ash mask for 500G, am I selling things wrong? Do I have to do something first? I'm confused...

It's just simple supply and demand. Likely a lot of players have already maxed most DoW/DoM, and so it may not be an item anyone even looks for at the moment. From what I hear Fabul also has a pretty low population, which could also be a factor.

Your best bet to move items fast is to sell materials & materia. If you want to make money from the markets, I wouldn't make gear to sell to the broke battle classes-only players, I'd create or farm mats for the crafters, as they have the deepest pockets & quickest spending habits.

this is the reason alot of servers have issues when someone goes looking for items. i hardly ever put a piece of finished gear up for sale anymore because they don't sell. at this point the best way i've found to sell items is selling materials themselves. they may sit there a while, but then you may sell multiple stacks at once.

Nobody wants to buy the items you are selling.

Try selling items people need.

What you're selling and where you're selling it.

If it's not in Ul'dah, it's harder to see.
And with the current search structure, most will not check the categories to which your item belongs (mask at least)

Oh you're so nice.

To the OP: Yeah man you seem like a relativity new player. I know they recommend joining a lowly populated server at the character select screen, but don't actually do that lol . If I were you I would just start over on a new server, picking from Lindblum / Besaid and up population wise. Half the servers are as dead as a doornail by MMO standards - as someone had mentioned most people have all classes maxed out, specifically on those types of servers. They're all about requiring you to have at least 3 or 4 things maxed out for end game content, or they won't wanna have anything to do with you.

The items you listed as trying to sell would be of more use in a more lively server, which have plenty of new players or at least people who want to level new things who haven't already. As someone mentioned only Materia would be in any kind of demand on your type of server. However, they'd be mostly interested in tiers III and up.

Like I said man I'd just restart in a more crowded environment - which maximizes Market profit and enjoyability. Whatever you do, don't pick my server o_O.
