Sold my gems before I looked closely... she is buying gems at an extremely low value. I understand merchants buy lower and sell higher but it was so different I figured I'd ask, I have never seen this before. Offered like 60pp for a ruby, 19 pp for a fire opal, etc. Then sells rubies for 277 pp. Seems too extreme, unless I am mistaken I think I would remember that.

In the Nfport bank.

Greedy vendor.

Convenience is often not frugal.

I hear ya, but I figured I'd remember such an extreme, it caught my attention the way something out of place does. Guess I just never noticed before, odd that.

Should be testable on eqlive as greedy vendors persist to this day. Get the buy price of an object from Aimie at whatever faction, then the buy price from a normal vendor at the same faction.

My initial tests were done on Lanhern Firepride vs. Meera Lyon in Qeynos.

0.5x for any goods players sold, charged 2.0x (1 / pricemod)

It is possible that different greedy vendors have different pricemods, but I haven't encountered one yet.
