I’m not sure when the switch came but in my experience it has been much more beneficial to use /buyer over /bazaar when looking for equipment.  I really noticed it today with the Bloodmoon Assassin’s Belt that I wanted to upgrade to.

First, I used /bazaar to check out what waist slot item would be an upgrade for my main, a 77 sk. The Bloodmoon Assassin’s Belt looked like a decent upgrade. Then I notice the price that people are selling them for…294,588pp and 294,400pp. Um, no. It’s not worth nearly that much. At least not to me.

So instead of spending a stupid amount of plat on the belt I set up a /buyer line for 20,000pp.  Two days later I got my belt. I may have been able to get it a bit cheaper but 20k seemed like a fair price to me.

I’ve been using /buyer to get most of my stuff for a while now but this example just reiterates why I rarely buy using /bazaar anymore.

I usually see people asking either who they turn tokens into to get bags or who to turn bags into to get tokens to sell. That would be Caerlyna in the bazaar. She is located at -21 x 1 in the center area that leads to all other parts of the bazaar.

I see this question often enough asked in the bazaar that I figured I could do a short post on it. Merchant Tekrama sells the Trader’s Satchels that allow you to sell you goods to other players. He is located in the bazaar at location 72 x -41. If you are looking to make some money, here are some tips on earning platinum.

Trader Satchels can also be made with platinum thread, a backpack pattern, a high quality [cat, bear, rockhopper] pelt steel boning and the backpack dye used in handmade backpacks.
