Default accidentally vendoring my good items

Have you ever accidentally vendored something to a merchant and been unable to buy it back? I have twice in 24 hours. You would think I would have learned my lesson. Nope.

RIP Sword of the Morning and Arbitor's Combine Greatsword.

Can anyone top that?

At this point, I might as well. Luckily, I still have a baton of faith and green jade broadsword. Until I vendor those, of course.

If you have the patience you can buy all the non-recurring items on the vendor , which are usually cheap , and your item will appear again. Depends how valuable the item is you lost - i know if i sold a high value item to a full vendor , i'd buy all his stock.

Absolutely nowhere near feasible on a high traffic vendor.

I've complained about it to no avail to staff years ago.

I'm not asking for easymode buyback, but the current way vendor inventories work gives the person no chance of getting it back because a 50K item would easily hit that price point on a high traffic vendor.

Hmm depends when server reset was then. I bought back from an EC vendor and didnt spend too much , the near tunnel. Cant get more high traffic than that. But i cant remember how close to a server reset it was.
We had a server reset a week ago , i would say all vendors in game are still very managable if you make this mistake. It takes many weeks/months to hit that sort of number.

I had this happen too, at the time sold something of high value to me (probably was laughable to the GMs at the time) and sent a petition in. I was told by a GM to try to buy back the items on the vendor, and I would find my precious.

After I burned through half my plat, it was pretty obvious the GMs were invisible standing behind me laughing their asses off at how dumb I was, so I stopped.

You will most likely waste your plats before getting your precious back. Do not do this. Do not send a guide a tell either, because they will not fetch your long lost precious.

Consider this a life lesson on p99 regarding vendors and your precious items. Be carfeful when selling to vendors!

Didn't we just have a thread like this a month or so ago? And didn't someone say that exact same thing ... only to have Cecily buy the item for like a k?

Not sure how "high traffic" this vendor is vs. that one, but just saying ...

Yeah, I said that too. Then Cecily found a JBB on Toxdil like an hour later for reportedly not very much plat.
