Question about sales to the oposing city

[Durkan123]

Hello How do i sell items or send items to my character who is in Qeynos when I am a freeporter? I think im supposed to be using the fence. but when i sell items through the broker, my qeynos character cant find my freeporters items in the fence market.. What do I do.

<p>Mail or use the guild bank if the item isn't lore...otherwise find a friend to help you to transfer the item...</p><p>you don't need to use the fence anymore to find items on the opposing city's broker...</p><p>the problem you're having is that only 1 character per account per server can be selling on the broker at a time so when your 2nd character opens the broker window the 1st character stops selling...</p>

The answer I believe, don't quote me but not the above, is you need to list the item on the fencing broker not a normal one.  There is one I know for a fact in Freeport docks on an island in the cove and for Q's it's in the commonlands I believe.  Again, I believe this is the only broker where you can see both side's wares.

<p>I believe faction only matters when it comes to sending mail on a PvP server.  They changed this on the PvE servers months ago; you can now freely mail coin and non-Lore items back and forth between cities.  Postage is the same, 50c per letter with an attachment.</p><p>Items from all cities are listed on all brokers, so there's no real reason to visit the Fence anymore.  Listing through the Fence or a regular broker makes no difference; it's all on the same market, for the same broker fees.  The text at the bottom of the broker window and/or the location of the seller's consignment container will tell you which city they're selling from and how much your broker fee will be.</p><p>Character #1's items will be delisted if character #2 has anything at all listed for sale on the broker.  If #2 has nothing at all in the broker window (I'm not sure if consignment containers count, but I'd remove them, to be safe), they can buy from #1, who will continue selling for 24 hours or until another character on that account with items on the broker logs on.  I've had to do this with several of my alts, and I can verify that if #2 has a totally empty broker window, they shouldn't bump #1 off the market.</p>

If you are selling on both toons,a nd they are both on the same account, the first toons items will stop being for sale the second you log in with the second toon who is now that particular servers/account seller.

It does not matter if you place the crate or not. As long as nothing is listed you are ok. (I have tested this)

<p>I suspected that the "extreme" non-brokerness of most of my alts wasn't the only way to go.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I just meant that the way I have all my girls set up, which happens to be the way I described above, will work.</p><p>Having stuff on the broker but not listed for sale isn't supposed to delist another character who's selling, but I've seen people complain about just that happening in the past.  I wasn't sure if it was an actual bug, or if those people actually did have at least one item listed and just didn't realize it.  Apparently it's no longer an issue.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
