Vendor Sales Cap
Is there a reason why the limit on vendors for an item is still 175 mill?
It seems this is a relic of when we were still using gold checks. It even still states those without the extra storage for the 125M may not be able to buy it.
It seems like we should increase this cap. This would also potentially increase the gold sink and rely less on using a ton of auction safes.

Increasing the cap would probably be worse from a sustainability perspective. People would be more items up on VS for even more absurd prices.
edit I looked, it’s 5.25% on a commission vendor.
So if you sold something for 350M, gold sink is 18m.
Why buy a 60m auction safe vs a few k for a vendor deed?
And the buy now price would be nice to see on VS. I assume if there’s any bids on items these days it’s the sellers alt account jacking up the price.
unfortunately auction safes are terrible for auctions. if there was ability to increase the bid increment from 1gp to an amount set by the seller. say 10m, 50m, whatever they would be alot more viable for actual auctions. 1gp bid ups is absurd for items worth 100s of mils or multiple platinums.
ive only seen 1 actual auction using safes. and everything went for rediculously low. because you can be outbid for 1g.
they were nice when if someone bid the start price, it wouldnt take out the 6 percent fee, but since they eliminated auto renew i find that having a start price lower than the buyout can be counterproductive. because it makes people more likely to wait to bid until the auctions almost over, and a couple days later they often forget and dont buy the item at all. not many people want to wait a week just to buy something in a video game.
this seems like a simple and reasonable request.
I would assume the only real argument is from those who own a ton of safes and don’t want to see them possibly devalued.
Keep as is is my vote.
it’s the same economic principle of supply and demand, which is why you don’t see every single item in game marked to 175m.
