ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SELL ANYTHING!

[Raldo]

4. No more partial stack sells. If players want less than a full stack they can buy it from bazaars or merchants. Partial stacks take up space on the wards, which sucks because it only shows the 20 cheapest.

That one's impractical. I sell Oak Branches. I put them up in stacks of 99 to start with, sure, but people don't need 99 Oak Branches. They just buy them a couple at a time. What are you proposing SE does with my retainer once someone buys a single one of my Oak Branches? Does it get kicked out of my retainer's bazaar? If that was the case, I'd never even sell my Oak Branches; I'd just NPC them all since I sell them for only slightly more than what an NPC would offer me.

On the other side of that complaint, do you know how impossibly long it would take to acquire 99 Vampire Plants to sell? Alchemists would never be able to find half of the random junk they need for medicines if people were forced to acquire a full stack prior to selling anything.

I'd be fine with the 1 retainer per city thing though... that's what I do currently, because I like to be able to have a retainer accessible from anywhere.

As a side point. i've been doing some modest business in a non-Uldah ward. Not raking in the coin but its not impossible either. I decided to target afew segments of possible buyers. In my case:

lvl 25 and under players
Crafters

One retainer generally sells lower level weapons and gear.
The other sells various crafting supplies. I'm not so specialized that i have 7-10 of the same things stacked for sale. I put up a few things. and then rotate my stock as things sell or rot away.

As of yesterday i had some Megalo crab legs, pie crusts, Yellow yarzon legs +1, Quicksilver etc. for sale. Some will sell (some have) and some won't but i can bring them back later if i feel the need.

My point is i'm targeting specific consumers who may have need of my wares. an instead of maximizing my possible profit because theres almost no one selling much there. I'm offering most things for (debateably i suppose) reasonable prices. If i sell something for even a couple k less then i COULD, but someone rebuys it to attempt to resell, i've still made my sale, and my profit. Now its their task to attempt a sale.

Theres always something to be said for consistant sales vs the big "Gotcha" sale and sitting on your stock for ages.

Help your local economy! Sell where you like to be!

Those are my thoughts

You mean... you are being intelligent ^.^

This world favours those who are willing to think and come up with a smart approach to accomplishing tasks.

I completely agree with most of everyone here. But I am pretty pissed I can't even sell anything. The most I can do is put a few things on my bazaar and sit outside Uldah, which doesn't work a whole lot since everyones already in the wards. It's true, everyones in Uldah, I just took a look around Gridania and no one was in there and theres barely anyone in the town. Also, I hate trying to buy stuff. I gotta go hunt down one person among a few hundred retainers in one room. This whole thing has overall made me really upset that I'm broke and can barely make any gil. I'm trying to find alternatives but Im still fairly new to the game.

From Balmung, Ul'dah

To kick off i don't care if there has been a post like this before, but the more the better hopefully SE will "Take note" of the situation. Now i have stuff i want to sell, but i can't because it is impossible to get a retainer in the wards to sell stuff, it would seem that regardless of what city you are from you can sell in any ward, Its nice that Ul'dah is the focus of trade, since We are a wealthy and proud city, but this prevents residents from selling their wares, To be quite honest we need a "AH!" (AUCTION HOUSE!!)

So I contacted a GM In hopes they could provide with info that maybe something would be done....like an AH or maybe an increase of retainers abled to be deployed. He directs me here so i'm bastard posting and making it heard.
