I sure hope not. If it returns to me in 14 days, I know it either ain't selling or I need to drop price.

90-120, and sure, I get an odd rare item that has a low demand. But 99.9% of what I sell sells within 7 days, or I've mistaken either price or demand.

Good news is you're deffo not alone, a lot of people have had trouble adjusting to the massive deflation of the last year (of which I am a fan, everything was way to expensive a year or two ago).

The bad news is 58 out of 150 is excessive, and it's likely if it didn't sell in 14 days, it won't sell in 30 days. If you are absolutely certain neither price or demand are your problem, there will be another issue. Maybe you have someone undercutting you on your vendors, or maybe your vendors are currently in bad locations.

Editing to add, the undercutting thing is currently happening on one of my vendors now. Every time I list something I'm having to check as someone with a deep crafting bag is selling everything 1 gold less in massive bulk stacks than everyone else in the guild. I think I'll be giving up and just listing writs and motifs on that vendor and I'll move craft materials to another vendor.

I usually sell everything that's going to sell within the first 2-3 days. It's a reminder to adjust your prices to better fit player expectation, if you're listing some 120m item of course it's going to take a while to sell, at that point I'd also recommend taking breaks from listing it and trying to sell it to zone chat.

Three accounts one with four Trade Guilds, two with three, total sales slots = 300.

Main account, I could restock all four guilds several times per day, never see an expired item.

Other two accounts I restock once per day, might see the odd expired item but really not anything notable.

Know what you are selling, REALLY know the current value, make the choice to be competative with your prices or go for greed....

Guess which I choose!!

I sell furniture. These items are not consumable items, so players purchase them less frequently. This category requires a long term. 14 days is too short.

i been fine with the 14 days, most of the time stuff usually sells within 7 days or the price fluctuated a lot on it

because items are churning a bit more, i dont feel like i need 4 or 5 trade guilds to meet my sales needs, just 2 moderately good volume ones with 1 slower one feels much less effort to maintain and im probably still making about the same avg amount of gold

ive also been selling more mats again lately too, which still move quickly

Totally disagree!

I sell furniture on the two less used accounts, it sells fine within 14 days, now selling furniture people don't want, well that's another matter.

Currently Colovian and Dawnwood(Lighting, planters, hearth items, etc small items not large structural pieces) items sell really well and have the bonus of not using an expensive/hard to farm style mat. I brought several purple plans when Gold Road released and farmed the Inn quite a bit, I have recovered my outlay and am well into very good profit now.

Older items that sell well are Vampiric items, Redguard cushions and carpets, Masterwork/writ voucher items(Kettles, baths, Hlaalu Salt Lamps etc).

I would most definitely say it requires a bit of thought and research into prices but furniture does sell fine in 14 days!

I think what too many people are refusing to acknowledge is the fact that the "super rare 2 million plus value items" are just not worth that as the game stands atm.

I have sold many of my rarer items for much less than they were worth a while back, some I am still sitting on.

If it's in my inventory it's worth what I can sell it to a NPC for, it is not worth 2 million plus because people say it is.

The economy was crashing before the 14 days was introduced, did it make the situation worse? Probably!

Now we need to adapt, items are cheaper to buy so it follows valuable items should cost less too!

I choose to adapt my prices and I can still afford to buy anything I might need because although my profits are smaller my outlay is too.

Why is it that all the adapting is expected to take place on the part of the player? Why can't ZOS just admit they've made some mistakes and revert them?

I think you'd find even with 30 day listings, the market can't currently bear old pricing.

The bottom line is - if your stuff isn't selling in 14 days right now, the price is too high.

I don't care about the pricing, I care about the inconvenience of relisting things twice as often.

Even if you are selling the same ratios that you were before, you are relisting twice as often now (at least), because of the 14-day period.

I sell a bunch of very cheap stuff that many players already have, but some don't. So sometimes they sell right away, sometimes they sell when I relist them for the very same price.

I no longer sell via the guilds. Everything gets deconned, sold to a vendor, given away or destroyed. It's not worth the time and I can no longer be bothered.

Except that a poster earlier in this thread gave a good example of items that **need** to be listed more than 14 days because of their nature: furniture items.

Again I disagree, but it takes thought and awareness of what you are trying to sell.

I personally keep an eye on the style of any new houses, doing that often means your items will sell if you sell what people are likely to use.

The days of listing anything and it selling are past, people are less likely to buy stuff just to try it.

Luxury Furniture used to always sell well, now only certain items are pretty much guaranteed to sell at a profit. People are unloading their stocks at below original cost just to raise some gold and clear their bags. However some Lux Vendor items will still sell really well.

One such item that atm literally flies out of the store is the Clockwork Stairway, Spiral.... original cost 65k...... my current MM tells me 196k. I wouldn't go that high but they sell really fast, I brought loads, I knew they would be popular.

Thought needs to be applied!!

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS.


The only items that have suffered, in my experience, are the niche items, CRAZY RARE/EXPENSIVE items (15M+), and furnishings. And all of those items you can hop around zones to sell or list on forums like reddit.

Personally I'm way too uncomfortable trying to hawk my wares in zone chat for some items, so I'm just sitting on those. I like that guild traders provide an impartial system to handle trade transactions. I've adjusted to the new market conditions, trading different things, but I miss the old 30 day system. But zone spamming wares, then dealing with people who try to cheat you, no thanks. Ick. I like my guild traders. That said, I am grumpy that they cut us from 30 days to 14 days without reducing fees, any service that cuts the value they provide like that should also cut the price they charge for it.
