The lowest listing price for any item is limited by its vendor value – we all know that. But why set such a limit, when you can put “buy orders” for less than vendor price? Take thick leather as an example: there’s a ton of it listed for the minimum (vendor) price which is 9C and yet, all the “buy orders” are for 8C. Wouldn’t it be better to also have that limit apply to “buy orders” as well? At the current situation I just vendor all the thick leather I find. Mithril ore is also heading that way, and I’m sure there are a lot more items that are in limbo like the above ones.

You can’t place a buy order on Thick Leather Sections for 8C (atleast I couldn’t when I tried with the new system), so all of them must be old. Would be nice with a “cleanup” though, where all those old listings are removed.

Yeah, those listings are old ones.
Why would it be nice to clean them up? I dont think it makes any difference but alot of work.

There was a bug around launch that allowed below-vendor buy orders on items. It was fixed but not before a bunch of automated buy orders for nonsense were put in.

We were discussing ways to clean this up relatively recently and think we have a plan, though the complexity of the operation means we’re not going to rush to do it.

First of all it’s information, and information has to be accessed and loaded. If the information is useless it’s just a pure waste of capacity.
Second it can be quite confusing, especially to someone trying to learn how the TP works.

It is very nice to know it is being worked on though.

Well besides being confusing. once someone puts in a sell order for the vendor price all further buy orders are then blocked. I can instant buy the single item at the vendor price but not buy multiples at that price. Odd way to run a business.

I did put a bug report in.

Yay! Great news Pat!
