Is your bazaar full or something? Repairing today is a lot simpler than it was pre 1.19 and i never even have to stop and wait to get something repaired. If you have a low level gear that needs repairing, put it in ur bazaar because I'm willing to bet you have space there next to your random item priced at 1 gil below a billion. It'll be repaired in 2 days max then you can sell it.

Not everyone's doing this but I think that'll change when SE adds the signature feature. I would hate to just NPC some gear that my closest friends made me. =D
