Sell and buy them via guild traders? - sure.

As long as it does not include another crown store thing like the upcomming skyshard thing.

Go to cyrodiil. (Yes I read your post and that's still my answer.)

I often reach the point where I have 200 crystals, and unable to open any more boxes, and don't have anything I need to transmute.

The only thing I've figured out to use my excess crystals is to transmute a trash weapon to Nirnhoned, and then deconstruct it to get a chance of a nirncrux. Otherwise I end up with the boxes stacking up in my inventory, and you can't even stick them in the bank!

They should either be tradeable, or at least up the limit from 200.

Exactly this, I already transmuted my gear to my needs, and still suck at bg, now I just wanna sell them, 50 stack for 100k gold.

If you could sell them they wouldn't be anywhere near that price. You see many more complaints about reaching the limit and having nothing needing transmuted. Supply would be much greater than demand.

Definitely don't need to be able to buy them but perhaps you just need a bit of a walkthrough on the whole thing.

You get a geode once per day for a random dungeon in the grouping tool. 7 minimum there.
Each Trial has a weekly quest that grants 5 Transmute Crystals. There are 7 trials in the game, two of which are blocked by Chapter restrictions. That leaves 5 you can guarantee do once a week for 35 Crystals.
Each Undaunted Pledge gets you a minimum of 1 crystal as well. That's 7, 14, or 21 a week minimum depending on how many pledges you choose to do.

In a week you can easily obtain 63 Transmute Crystals from some pretty basic stuff. It doesn't even require Veteran content of anything either, it's really easy to find groups for those five base-game trials. It takes 550 Crystals max to retrait all gear, less if you are a magicka user. Two months to get your end-game be all gear isn't asking all that much. Even moreso because unlike most MMO's every new chapter doesn't mean you'll be changing your build; because your armor will always be relevant.

(Read that as; there is literally no reason you should be retraiting anything on a gear piece that isn't part of that toons final build... It's far too easy to farm dungeon/trial gear up just by doing them on normal mode and then entering the veteran versions once you are fully geared.)

Edit: I forgot jewelry. 700 Transmute Crystals for a full gear set. 100 less if using two handers in both bars. 50 less for a single two hander. Regardless 11 weeks max (assuming nothing drops with the trait you need) really isn't all that terrible in a game where gear is relatively permanent. Compare this to other MMOs where the gear literally changes entirely every xpac.

Agree - I PvP enough to have too many of the damn things - this is main reason I don’t open “rewards” of the worthy mails until I run out of mail space.

So I’d very much like to be able to sell the excess.

I would be all for ZOS buffing the PVE drop rate /amount of geodes, that I think is the best compromise.

Zos needs to increase the drop rates in pve activities or let people sell geodes. I wouldnt even care if they brought them in crown stores

Hm does nirnhoned sell for?

Just curious.

on PC NA, easy sell for 10k, can go up to ~14k.

They should allow people to craft Retrait Stones at an enchant table, 50 Crystals + 25 Rekuta = 1 Retrait Stone.
