I purchased a couple of the new consignment containers last weekend and I am already seeing a HUGE increase in sales. I can only assume that this is due to players being able to come to my room and purchase in person once again since I sell a lot of rare leather armor and wooden weapons and before this last weekend sales were pretty much flatlined!
As far as the containers only being available from rare woods, I am totally in favor of this restriction! There is a lot of complaining about it on the SOE boards, much of it from posters claiming that this excludes players without a lot of money from having these new items. But my feeling is that if they were available in common wood versions the market would be flooded with them, the price point on them would be as low as it is on everything else and furthermore, the market would be further cluttered with even more trash drops that nobody wants to buy!
As it stands, Carpenters finally get to make some money and the market is a bit less clogged with crap!
What say you?
