How do you trade on traders? like without TTC or MM (addons) how do you look up prices? is it really that blind or is there a website that has some general info on prices?
You can use the TTC website for a ballpark. As a console player (PS4) I typically look at my guilds first, then check prices at the traders in Mournhold, Rawl'kha, and Craglorn, and then go with the cheapest (duh). I've found those three are fairly accurate in terms of average pricing and you don't have to run all over Tamriel.
This is what I do as well, but it's such a massive time sink. I recommended another method on a EU server trade thread. Why not just use the same system, or something close, to Runescapes grand exchange? It works and it's easy to use. No hassle.
