    Almost all the best gear is BoP and most people are done decorating their houses. There isn't much to trade.

    I'm still selling motifs pretty well, but the market pricing has shifted MUCH lower.

    I can still sell alchemy ingredients and gold mats all day long, but again the pricing has dropped way off.

    Housing diagrams unless they are SUPER rare sell for crap anymore.

    I agree - the market seems very dead lately. Not as vibrant and active as it used to be.

    It's getting harder and harder to make money. We have bots to thank for the price crash on mats.

    the slowdown is pretty standard and expected. We are now, what 8 weeks post Morrowind early access launch? By now most all have re-tuned their gear and builds and demand has dropped for a lot of those mats. If you are a seller just start preparing for the next DLC drop when prices will bump up again.
    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    I don't think sales are down, just that the market is being flooded again. I'm seeing more and more items listed for sale than usual with regards to upgrade mats and housing ingredients. Similarly master writs and housing recipes are dropping in price big time, which are all signs that the previous shock to the market from the Homestead update is diminishing.

    Necropotence and Sun set still sell like hotcakes, that's about it. Nothing else to sell. Flowers aren't worth selling with these prices, would rather hold off. Once more groups start smashing VHOF they'll start buying more as they run it more frequently.

    One thing you can do to make a quick coin, buy up all the cheap food and leave you're trusty crafting bot to make stacks and stacks and stacks of food and vendor it, you can make 4x the coin.

    Something must still be selling well, even though I'm not selling as much. Wouldn't those high guild trader bids be unsustainable if people weren't making money? I'm certainly not hearing anything about the trader bids getting cheaper.

    Maybe its a region or server thing as I'm seeing good sales. I've adapted what I'm selling, and making good money.

    Pays to see the things streamers mention and get them on sale fast.. :)

    Dunno, I ended up dumping tons of my legendary upgrade mats so that I could buy enough master writs to finish off my attuned stations. Just wanted to be able to make use of the double housing items during the event, without having to remove them all later to add stations.

    So I know legendary upgrade mats have sold and master writs have sold. There are other items that should be selling real well right now if non subs want to make the most of their crafting bag. Provisioning items for example should be flying, a thousand or more per item will likely mean not needing to keep them in your normal inventory again. Ta, Deni, Makko, Oko by the thousands for future writs. These are all cheap enough to stock up on.

    Multi millionaires could also be stocking up on alchemy mats. Although this may be problematic once the bag goes away, since crafting pulls from the C-bag before the inventory or bank. The other items are cheap enough to just discard when more are found. Hoarders will either need an alt account to keep the future found ones or learn to *shudders* sell their excess.

    A lot of time right now is also probably being focused on dying costumes and filling up homes, so less time to shop.

    I'm thinking about dropping my 15K weekly due guild. Sales have been meh for a while. Even in Mournhold.

    People are pretty desperate for gold. Undercutting is real.

    ESO Trade Center is essentially punishing people for trying to gouge players with outrageous prices. It's making Trading Guilds squirm. I love it.
