Merchants: Greedy Merchants lie about selling costs, crash client

[bamzal]

Please delete this thread. I cannot replicate the issue. It appears to have been a one-time thing.

Nilbog: Greedy Vendors: Certain merchants, usually in easy to reach locations, buy for half price, and sell for double. Buyer beware.

I believe that this update, applied on Dec 18, has some issues in regards to buying from the merchant. I don't know if it's all items for sale, or if it only affects items in the merchant's Temp Item list.

But here is the scenario that I have encountered:

Tubal Weaver, a merchant that can be found just inside the gates of Qeynos, he has the worst prices I've ever seen, despite his claim to the best.

He only pays the player 5 gold for a cracked staff, which fits along the lines of the “greedy merchant”.

However, looking at what he has for sale, he claims to sell Cracked Staffs for only 5 gold.
So when I click “Buy” for 5 gold, as it states in the trade window and text, my EQ client just crashes/vanishes.
