The Bazaar

Hi

In my first weeks of playing so sorry if this is really dumb - but what is the point of owning a Bazaar when you can sell items anyway at the Item Market? Is it just avoiding the listing fee or is there more to it?

 

Cheers.

Besides the listing fee, you can also have however many items you want instead of only 100 up. As well as being easier to change prices/remove items.

OK thanks for that. Not something I need to think about at my level yet then cheers.

I highly suggest you get one soon if you plan on being a trader. 

On market you can sell only up to 250 items at a time, and can't stack them, so it's a pain for potential buyers, who gotta click one at a time. Also I think you can't adjust the price in case you get undercut, without having to relist and take another 3% fee hit. Basically if you plan to do any serious trading (and the game pretty much revolves around trading), you need a bazaar.

That being said, there are a few other purchases that are much bigger priorities when starting out - donator status, Private Island rental to name a couple.

Also: You can add items to your bazaar while it's closed. The advantage of this is avoiding buymugging.

E.g.

Close your bazaar

Load up your bazaar with items

Plan a travel destination

Open your bazaar

Travel while your items [hopefully] sell

Others have pretty much covered it, but having a bazaar also allows people to see everything you have on sale at once, so they can make multiple purchases at once and see what you have listed that’s not the cheapest on the market, for instance equipment.

You also get a little more visibility as bazaars are linked through profiles and people who see you elsewhere may check out your bazaar. The item listing fee is not huge but it really builds up over thousands of sales. If you look at most traders’ bazaar income stat it’s usually billions of dollars that have passed through - you don’t want to pay the system 3% of all that.

I don’t think it has anything to do with level, if you’re planning on trading at all actively I would make bazaar a priority to purchase.

The bazaar is a great thing to get for those of a intrepid nature!

You can do so much business if you have a bazaar.

I have done my fair share of trades. But bazaars are so much easier, you can just buy multiple items all at once without having to do any calculating. If the price is right people will buy from your bazaar.

You forgot the final step:

Pray / hope you don't get mugged randomly when you land

Right!

Just recently I landed somewhere and was mugged before I finished the CAPTCHA [:dizzy:]

bazaar is a must have (eventually) for anyone that will be an active long time player here

but before you start really using one, make sure you read up on the tutorials and guides forum for ways to protect your $$$

Many thanks for all the replies now I understand.

have a PC in your inventory.... use the PC link to access the stock market.....buy a stock with increasing value (keeping spending money on hand) ..... immediately put it up for sale

 

when it sells, stays in the bank for up to 24 hours
