This all works on EQLive, right? Selling something, then buying it back?
Screw it. I'm testing this.
Ok, to end this senseless speculating... I am on Live right now, 2 chars, same merchant. I sold a Meat to the merchant, and without doing anything, it appeared magically on the second toons open merchant window - no closing, no reopening. That's what I expected to see.
The guy who sold it can buy it back immediately. And, it vanishes from the second guys merchant window - dynamically, like I said. Furthermore, the second guy could buy it if he wanted, and it also vanishes from the first guys window immediately. So, no risk of dupe items - on LIVE.
Now, Emu...
This does NOT work this way. If player 1 sells something, it does not appear on the merchant immediately. Hmm. Actually, ever. I left the zone, restarted it, the item is still in the temp table, but the merchant does not show the Meat - on EMU.
So, Aerewen, you are vindicated.
Now, fix it. ~grin~
