Can no longer sell 'treasure' items to vendors

pepperelf

Since the Mod 5 install, the 'treasure' items (jeweled platinum statuette, etc) that drop all over the place can longer be sold to vendors. If this is intentional puleeeze stop dropping them. I know this is a minor issue compared to some, but my backpacks are exploding

Did you try to change the tab in the vendor between magic items and consumables? you can only sell in the consumable tabs.

I didn't know about the vendor tab thing, but I sold a bunch of those statuettes yesterday, so likely just a 'thing' - maybe it has to do with the tabs. I usually press the tab that says 'sell', but sometimes I just double-click them out of my inventory.

Anyway, as I said, I've been able to sell them for sure. I also do a lot of selling to vendor from the gateway inventory, and I've not had a problem there either. (While in-game, I alt-tab to the inventory screen on the gateway, click the item and choose 'sell to vendor'.)

Many vendors do have a "magic items" tab which you may have never noticed. They sell white pearls and a couple of other items, but it is very rarely the default tab that opens when you interact with a merchant. However, if it does open here, you'll get the "cannot sell" message. This is for anything: treasure, gear, potions you don't want, etc.

Basically, the "magic items" tab is like a mini-version of the Wondrous Bazaar, where you also cannot sell. I suspect but have not confirmed that it also only opens by default when I have recently used the WB, which is why people don't notice it so much. You probably use a normal store 50 times per use of the WB.

When vendors open on their "consumables" tab per the normal interaction, selling is normal, double-clicking to sell is normal, everything is normal.

I've also had this. I just restarted the client and all was well. Guess some funky (and intermittent) code is out there.

Next time, switch store tabs instead of restarting the client (which probably flushes whatever memory causes the store to default to that tab).

ok thanks for responses all, I just tried it again and have to overtly go to the 'sell' tab on the PE merchants, then actually drag the item to be sold to the spot where merchant 'evaluates' it and then am able to sell it. No big as long as they can still be sold, but this was never the case before Mod 5, I was always able to sell to those merchants without dragging the item. Anyway, all is well it seems. Thanks again

Read the tooltip... DOUBLE CLICK TO SELL.

Does not work if your merchant has opened on "magic items". You get message "you cannot sell items here". That is the problem we are trying to explain how to solve.

Closing this up as it's been determined the issue was not caused by a bug.
