Selling Rare Salvage At A Vendor


Recommended Posts

I too am against this whole idea.  The rates are low at vendors to encourage people to sell on the Auction House to keep the in-game economy alive.  Yes, some items (salvage, recipes, enhs, insps, etc) are not in demand and go for very less than vendoring, but many things are in high demand and go for quite a lot.  

 

It is on the user to research which sells best where and to pull that item out of their "to vendor" list to store or market.  There is no need to change the vendor values to accommodate mistakes or lazy / haphazard selling.

Some recipes sell for more in the AH than to the vendor.  Especially if you have lower level recipes, but it's based on demand.  I find if I dump all recipes at a minimum, some sell for way more, some for way less, but averages out at above vendor price.

 

My question was if all rare recipes sell to a vendor for 10k? Maybe that wasn't clear. Again, I think some rare recipes, like mini-pet recipes, sell to a vendor for more than 10k. I understand different recipes sell for different amounts on AH.

Recipe value scales with level and rarity.  Level 50 rates will always sell for 10k

I do think having a warning similar to when you first replace enhancements is a great idea, as long as it can be toggled off, as I know personally I sell everything I can (Beside Kheldian pets) at the vendor, then the recipes I can't sell I chuck on the AH for 1 inf 😄

Can we have rare salvage changed to not be sellable to a vendor? Or, up the sell amount? I think rare salvage is selling at a vendor for about 5k, but selling in the auction house for 400k+. Quite a difference.


With you, it’s all er nuthin’.  All for you, and nuthin’ for me…

 

This isn’t a democracy, and I don’t plan on voting for this proposal.  I appreciate ideas that will help the populace as a whole, but this seems to me to be a niche case.  And I have to think that your concern is not really due to you accidentally losing a mm or two every now and again.  Although it would be nice if I could walk into my local grocery store and ask them to buy the leftover parsley I bought from them last week, I’m pretty understanding that guaranteed bids and offers should be extremely wide.

Not sure where this is coming from, but really unfair considering I offered 2 options in what you quoted and agreed in this thread that a third option would be better, but maybe less likely given the programming needed. And in case it was unclear to anyone, I'm also totally fine with you disagreeing with the idea entirely. What I am not OK with is what feels like a personal attack here and from a couple others posting in this thread. Agree, disagree, or abstain from the idea itself, or offer alternatives. I'm fine with any of that.

I get that (we're required by state law to watch that annually in school), but quoting that and following it up later with an insinuation that I might have ulterior motives for this makes the whole thing land differently. Granted, you popped in at the wrong time and I perhaps took it more harshly than you intended.

everything on the auction house atm is completely FUBARED , rare salvage is way over priced, and mini pet recipes or other types are under priced compared to venders pricing,  i don't bother selling mini recipes any more since they will not sell for what they are actually worth, i just give then away...

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

The OP is thinking with blinders on. Changing the sell price to soften the blow of an "oopsie" isn't the way to go. They do that, then what of the same "oopsie" made on the AH?

 

What would cure OP's ills and maintain the status quo is to offer a buy back option at the vendors.

 

But seriously, we're talking about relatively small amounts of inf.

 

Suggestions:

If you have an oopsie-filled day, run with a Hami league, get those 120 reward merits, go buy a Winter set enhancement, plop it on the AH for 18 mil, and in 30 minutes you could have all your inf back that was lost from many oopsies....and have 20 merits left over.

Another idea would be to unload on the AH first then visit the vendor. I price check certain recipes before I vendor them.

 

Good luck out there...

P.S. And don't mind @Yomo Kimyatadude's got so much inf he can't see his willy. 🙂

I'd be all for an opt-out option on rare salvage.  Anything, really.  Want to opt out of selling IOs?  SOs?  Rare recipes?  Large inspirations?  Check those boxes. 

And then un-check them when you really, really do mean to sell them to a vendor.

And if checking the box is too much work?  You don't have to do it.

And if they want to create a warning that you are sending mail to someone not on your friend list or that is not on the current character's account?  Well, let them do that, too.  Make it another thing that you can check off to get those warnings.  People that think it's unnatural can send influence to the wrong people if they want to.  No one will stop them.

Mistakes will happen, but if the game can create systems to try and cut down on some of them I do not think that the development time spent on such things would be a waste.  I know that it would be impractical to have permissions and warnings for everything, but for the rarer things and the mail system where truly expensive mistakes can happen, a little mistake-proofing wouldn't hurt.

Or maybe some sort of buyback option at the vendor.  Even if it is just for the current session (from the moment you open the vendor window to the time that you close it) it would be better than nothing.  If you accidentally double-clicked and sold something that you didn't mean to you could just buy it back as long as you did so before you closed the vendor window.
