    The old system just made the bazaar items much more accessible. I don't know what the point of the new system is yet.

Why i gotta open an external website to browse thru bazaars? Feel like everything should be accesible directly ingame, why bother to login on another websites and double check market and bazaar prizes when old system had two in one? I believe it could be solved much better.

You don't, you could use that big brain of yours to memorise your favourite bazaar sellers. But the external website is easier.

Closed bazaars are still visible, marked RED in the graphic. I think that's not ideal.

also, I searched for cans, but the shown results didn't have any cans in their bazaars. Were those already sold?

Yeah that’s how it works I mean if items niche out hardcore or people superstore it up in their bazaar it’ll generally pan out but I don’t think it’s an active buyout thing more like a hey check this place out because other people did and it may or may not be open and may or may not have anything they’ve sold before. And the end result spins more towards macro than micro. I’m not mad at it. I’d love to operate my old bazaar but cheds right they cancel each other out and it was just too easy to do. As the game continues to swell in player base that’s being accounted for now. We have our gripes because we remember previous things. New players will outnumber us and it, and their evolution will be their base point.

I will say the bazaar directory only worked once for me. I hadn't updated my prices in a while and got undercut like 5x and some dumbass directory user still bought from it because I was result for that item in the directory. 

 

It felt like scamming but was ched scamming them, not me. So I kept the loot. This is as someone who the same day saw an FHC missing a number, bought and returned it to the owner.

 

If you use the bazaar directory, you deserve to lose money for it.

It's been debated many times in the past.  Item market 2.0 update is designed to create a 2 tier trading system (and other features such as advanced filters and anonymous listing) that increases money sink (item market tax) in order to offset money faucets via crimes 2.0.  The low friction tier, ie item market listing, offers sellers the convenience at the cost of item market tax.  The high friction tier, ie bazaar, offers tax free selling and possibly lower prices but requires both sellers and buyers more efforts on their part.
