The item sold from a house has an address listed.]] '''There are some restrictions on broker use based on [[Free-To-Play|account types]]. <br> This section describes the process for those with no such restrictions.'''<br> ====<u>Container Options</u>==== Every character you create (see note above) can sell items to other players using the broker. Broker slots are spaces in the broker window (opened by clicking on a broker NPC) in which you can drop containers to sell your goods like looted gear, crafted items, collection items, and more. Every character you create can also "buy" a house for free. Because it is key to making the most of the broker, you may want to read the article on [[Housing|player housing]] if you're unfamiliar with the topic. Before you buy a [[Housing|house]], you'll have only one broker slot. After buying a house (of any size and in any location) you will have 6 broker slots. In order sell through the broker, you need to place a container in one (or all) of your broker slots by using any of the following: *[[Backpack|Backpacks]] or [[Strong Box|strong boxes]] which are common, player-made containers. Players who buy directly from the broker from containers like this pay a 10-40% markup fee; the exact fee depends on many factors, but the city your home is in vs. the city other players hail from is the biggest factor. For example, the largest markup is in place for cities of opposing alignments, meaning that items sold to "evil" characters from "good" cities have the highest broker fees.<br> The options below offer a distinct advantage when selling items and are therefore an upgrade over all other containers: *[[Sales Display]], [[Veteran's Display Case]], or [[Expanded Veteran's Display Case]], which are specialized containers that allow other players to see the name of your home on the broker, to visit your house, and thus avoid paying the markup fee. Using these containers may make your items more attractive to those who are buying high-priced items, since they can save a great deal of coin. Other players can avoid the broker fees, but you must place the container (which functions like [[Furniture|furniture]]) in your house. *There are numerous kinds of sales displays, all player made and all have pros and cons. More details are found on the page linked above. *Veteran's display cases are one per character and can be claimed after 3 years or 7 of playing by typing '''/claim''' while logged into the game. Brokers charge a smaller commission for items sold through a Veteran's display case, so you end up making more on each sale. ====<u>Putting Any Container in the Broker Slot</u>==== The process of setting up to sell through the broker is simple. It can be done while at a broker NPC or by using a [[Market Board| market bulletin board]] while in your house. #Click on the broker or (inside your home) a market bulletin board. #Drag and drop a container (described above) into a broker slot. #Drag items you want to sell from your personal inventory into the container you want fill. ====<u>Placing Containers in a House</u>==== It is recommended that you place a [[Sales Display]] in your home to allow players to avoid broker fees. # Enter your home. # Click your market bulletin board to open broker window. # Hover your mouse pointer over the container and right-click on it; from the options, choose "Place". # Choose a location for the sales display or veteran's case inside your house. An area near the entrance is advisable to make it easy for other players to find it when they come to shop. Items sold from your house using a special container will still collect coin from normal broker sales. You can add and remove items from your display cases by visiting any broker NPC. <u>RECOMMENDED</u>: When you put an item up for sale, hit the Search button in the broker window to see if it's priced to match the demand. Overly high prices may mean the item never sells. If you set a price too low, you can take a loss compared to what you might get if you sell it to any NPC merchant. If the item listed is equal to or less than what an NPC merchant would pay for the item, then the word ''Yes'' will be red in the Listed column of the broker window.
