Your best bazaar deal ever?Follow

The best deal ever so far that I can think of is a Nightmarewood Compound Bow for my 52 Rogue for 1000pp in the Bazaar on Firiona Vie server. The other 2 bows in the bazaar were going for 2900p and 3500pp.

That is the best deal so far that I know of that I have paid for. Otherwise it would be when I was given the Shortsword from the MM missions, the +7 to all stats one,on FV the roleplaying server there are few no drop or no trade items so yes this can be done.

Bikininemu 52 Rogue <Legion of Warclaws> Firiona Vie

I was on my druid and did the final turn in for my epic and for some reason i sold a aug to the DoN guys and got the crystals and was planning on going to the bazaar to sell them to a buyer. I zoned into it and typed raidant cry in the lookup and saw some guy buying them for 750 plat each. Looks like someone added a 0 and he was still buying 473 or so of them. I haul *** to him and sell him my 63 crystals, 47k right there.

Feeling bad about it i go buy 200 more crystals and sell those to him becuase I had the intention to give him back all the money but he was all sold out before i got to him. So he comes back and I send him a tell saying he effed up and that I would give him the money back. So I run to him and give him the 200 crystals and the money i profited off of him because i was happy on getting my leafblower.

So about 25 minutes later I was playing with it in PoJ and i get a tell from the guy saying, "Hey can I get 4.2k from you please?". Me, being a kind individual, said, "Wtf?". He says yah you owe me 4.2k. So I told him how stupid and ignorant he is to tell me to give him money back when I could have kept the 47k and been on my way, and /ignored him before he got off a comment.

Well that was my biggest bazaar moment even though i didnt get anything out of it because of my kindness *SMACK*.

Best deal ever in baz. (Fv server) Got a https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=20380 signet of might for 25k plat. Someone was doing a WTB Signet of might a week or so later, I asked what their price was, they said "250k" So 225k profit off a single item. Not too bad I thought.

Best deal I think I have ever gotten was buying an EoE for 7k pp when it was going for about 35k and gave to my brother's warrior. I also got one of those shields dropped by shadowhunter, cant remember the name, got one of them when the expansion first came out and sold it for 75kpp and got another recently for 2k and sold for 35k. Ive also made the mistake on my trader though selling Words of Agony, i think thats what they were, for 500pp when i was meaning to sell them for 5kpp a peice.

Best by far: Bought a Blade of the Night Sky for 20k. It wasn't a typo either--a guy was auctioning WTS it for that much. Even more amazing: there was a buyer up at the time offering 130k for one. I resold it for 500k a few days later.

A real longterm investment: Back when only Velious was out, bought a Singing Steel Helm for my (then-main) bard for something like 9k. Wasn't playing him for years afterwards, and just recently resold the helm for 80k.

Another one that came to mind: Randomly came across a guy who was selling a whole bunch of lvl 64 and 65 Shaman spells for what seemed to be totally random prices (like 234pp, 321pp, etc). Got Focus of the Seventh, Talisman of Alacrity 3 copies of Quiescence, and several copies of the 64 and 65 DoTs for about 2k combined. Fo7 went to my shaman (saved about 25k not having to buy it) and resold the rest for about 75k. So about a 98k profit overall.

The best deal that I was able to find was the rare lvl 65 paladin spell Brell's Stalwart Shield for 150 Pp in the Bazaar.

By far it's selling things I pick up off the ground. Pure profit. The foragable tradeskill items for shaman potions has made me a fortune. At 50+ plat per lily and what appears to be nearly a insatiable demand (on Xegony anyway) it's a fairly quick way to make money with no real effort. If I ever vertically integrate the potion production I'll make even more...

I got a Delightful Orb of Forgotten Magic for 4k the other day in the bazaar. I have also been given a Ceramic Shield of Valor for free, and the last time I checked they went for about 18k on Quellious.

Horlaora, Shaman of Justice

When Metallic Drake scales were discovered to be valuable, I had already saved up about 15 from missions where ppl would sell off all the loot to vendors. I figured that odd stuff might be valuable some day and had stacks of mushrooms and misc stackable items. I kept checking the vendors in Lavastorm where ppl always sell off mission loot and picked up about 4 more for a few silvers. I also had many purescale ores and other usefull stuff along with a whole lot of stuff that ended up at the vendors anyway.
Sold all that stuff in bazaar for many thousands of pp.

I'd say the best deal I have found was Yaeth's 73 RIGHT for 200pp :)

Every once in awhile I goto the bazaar and buy all the level 50+ spells I can for less than 3pp. Then I turn around and sell them to the vendors for 4-10pp each and thats with crappy char. gear on. One day I made almost a hundred pp for like 15 minutes worth of work.

Far and away the best deal I ever found in the Bazaar was my Earthshaker. Shortly before they were removed from the game, I got one for sale from an obviously uninformed druid -- 200pp, yes 200pp. This wasn't a missed zero because the toon was online and I asked about it (silly me, trying to be honest).
