accidentally vendoring my good items

[bumtrumpet]

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?

You trying to go around as the Hand To Hand Paladin Champion of the World or something?

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.

Killing vendors also clears their inventory right? Not that you would do this if you sold an item , but i know vendors are killed in certain zones and that keeps their stock down that you would have to buy back.

I would too, if I had the plat to spare. I've only been playing for two months, 500 plat is a ton of money to me. I still have a serviceable 1 hander, but Sword of the Morning was the first "uber" item I saved up for. I can farm more plat and buy another one, but it won't have same sense of accomplishment attached to it.
