Vendor Help needed please - long

Does anyone have any idea what the powerscrolls are going for now? I have a
bunch of the +20 Smith, 2 of the +10 Smith, and 1 +20 Tailor and 3 +10
Tailor scrolls.

I have been trying to sell the scrolls at my vendor shop in Vesper, in Fel
unfortunately. I took them off tonight for lack of sales, and tired of
having to replenish the Vendors upkeep.
This is what I try to sell the powerscrolls for:
+5 Tailor & Smith - I give those away
+10 Tailor 25K Smith 40K
+15 Tailor 150K Smith 250K
+20 Tailor 400K Smith 800K

Am I really too high? I have seen other vendors with many more scrolls than
I have selling for 3-4 times more than what I am.

As far as Runic Hammers I haven't sold any in weeks, am I way overpriced?
Dull Copper 5K
Shadow 25K
Copper 75K
Bronze 150K
+10 ASH Hammer 100K
+15 ASH Hammer 200K
+30 ASH Hammer 500K

Colored Anvil scrolls I have put in for 50K each.
Powder of Fortifying / Temperament I use to get 60K a pop but lately no
sales within the last month. So I dropped them all down to 40K hoping for
something.

I have checked the local vendors nearest me, and it seems I am the cheapest.
I have also spent many hours making up multiple runes to the vendor shop and
going to the banks, smith and tailor shops, rune gates, etc.... any ideas
what I am doing wrong?

My other vendors at the same location are doing very well on various rune
books, recalls, mage scrolls, potions, and only so-so on the tailor & smith
bods.

As far as the smith & tailor bods go, I priced all of them according to the
tower of roses website, and have had a trickle of sales. I will probably
have to go and reprice them all a whole lot cheaper to generate enough cash
to justify keeping these vendors.

Please keep in mind I am really doing the vendor thing because I enjoy it,
and I do not have a lot of time during the week to go dungeon bashing. I'm
really not trying to "get rich" like some vendors I see...

TIA
Paul

I cant give away my +20 Tailor scrolls. They were way too easy to get to
start with. Now the +20 Smith scrolls seem to be "almost" as bad.
I think I sold the last +20 smith scroll for 100k just to move it.

I am really not complaining, because now people can earn them if they
want to. Before, you had to use exploits to even get one.

I do not sell, or buy hammers, so I have no idea. I use mine. 😛

I had a gold Anvil, ended up selling it for 2K........ Got tired of seeing it
on the vendor..

Again, I have no idea. I use what I get and do not buy them.

I think a lot of people have got tired of the BOD system. You do not see
as many BOD vendors as there was a few months ago, and prices range from
what I consider very high to very low on the ones I do see.

I hate the idea that I have to "play" the EA game just to make good weapons
and armor for myself. IMHO, I think a Smith with high Magery should be
able to make magic weapons and armor. The higher the Smith skill and Magery
skill, the better magic weapons and armor you get. Then the BOD system
could be dropped all together.
