I would've thought people would be trying to learn them all just like people were always looking for food recipes they didn't know. Yet after asking around every zone multiple times for people interested in trading blue/purple furniture plans, I think I got one whisper. Where are all the plan traders?

    Content has been out for one or two days for the consoles. I am sure people are not yet finding Dups to trade. I have not found any Dups as of yet on the PC, so I don't even have any to trade. This is not like the Festivals where the stuff just flew into the Inventories.

    Also, just so you know, your not going to be furnishing a house with crafted stuff in a week. Wait until you start looking for Heartwood or other mats.....

    Its going to be a long slow grind.

    Check the guild stores.

    Also, are you PC or console? On console, this update has been out nowhere near long enough for people to build up doubles of any plans, much less the blue and purple ones. I didn't hit enough saturation to start reliably getting doubles until about two weeks in, and that's mostly on greens.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Just me personally, it's going to be what seems like a looonnngggg time before I have any/many duplicate blues or purples. Unless I get really unlucky and get the few I already have. Because I'm just not finding many in general. :/

    I've found a grand total of two purples so far.

    The only people selling are the ones that are smart enough to know that it's probably better in the long run to do so. The dumb ones like me are collecting recipes in hopes of someday crafting this stuff. Every recipe I find is one I don't know.

    I have seen a few trade requests on the PC in Zone Chat, but they are pretty specific.

    Trading furniture plans is extremely difficult unless you're using extremely broad categories. Remember, there's like a thousand of these things out there. Unfortunately the best bet is buying them from other players instead of looking to trade.

    I usually give away a batch of blueprints every couple of days at the crafting hall in Coldharbor. Once I get a half dozen or so plans that I have already learned I just stand in the middle of a group of people and ask if anyone wants them, first person to open trade gets them. Never bothered trading them for other blueprints, too much trouble and I just want to free up the inventory space.

    I've sold quite a few dups via our guild trader, and he's hidden away in an outlaws refuge, so I imagine others have sold quite a few more.

    As for hawking plans in /zone you might have better luck if you made your pitch more specific, so folks would know whether you had something they wanted and what you might be looking for in exchange.

    I'm just surprized there aren't more people saying something like "hey, I'm trying to know the plans myself; whatcha got?"

    What few duplicates I've picked up since the patch have all been soaked up by guildies who don't have them, and they're all doing the same too, so it would be ages before any of us had dups to trade outside of that.

    I traded green plans for green plans not too long ago, but yeah, most people are selling them outright instead of cooperative trading.

    Same here. I've found a lot of plans, never the same thing twice, though.

    I have ~10 plans I wish to trade, spam popular zones and not getting any answers at all.

    One of main reason I think is that a lot of people feed just one characters with plans and most of the time playing with another so just don't know what exactly do they need.

    I've got zero interest in housing and have been farming plans purely to sell. I've made well over a mil already from this homestead patch. Check those guild stores for plans and writs.

    I've traded and given away a whole bunch of the dups I've found to a couple of my friends playing and sold a few others for cheap in the guild stores. One friend last night totally lost her mind when I gave her over 20 greens and a few blue ones that she didn't have yet.

    I find tading among guildmates and friends is where 90% of it happens, and not so much in zone chat. Everyone in the first few weeks are gong to try to take advantage of how much money they think they can make off of other players who don't have the patience or time to look for them on their own.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    I imagine a number of people aren't farming them to collect them, but to sell them. They sell at high prices still. People will start collecting them once they aren't so profitable.

    The "Do I keep it for alts?" addon fixes that problem. I love it.
