After the last patch, where retainers get much more of the things crafter make, there isn't another market, they are basically all gone, because the players sell this stuff for scraps. I have no idea why they send retainers on Quick Explorations, since the few items that really give you high prices are very rare (ask me, I have 36 lvl 80 retainers with Neo-Ishgardian HQ gear + 9 that just passed 63). What they should have done was to add everything not crafted or sold by vendors to the retainer list, that would make the retainers more valuable, AND keep the MB from overflooding with crafted items.
