Not everyone hated the bazaar, Only the people that could either 2-box or the ones that were online all the dame time.

For people that only had limited play times it was basically the only way to sell stuff effectively without having to cut into what little play time I had.

I was a huge fan of the bazaar for that reason.
This is why I have bags and bags full of mid-level gear that will probably never go up for auction and tons of researched spells that I usually just sell to random vendors. I don't have enough play time to actually spend a chunk of it selling stuff in EC.
