First! I would like to Thank all the venders  for setting up to sell their wares along the East Merchant Road in Hydlaa.

Second, I would like to apologize to them for being late.

                            [I feel that we could or should have a regular market in-game. I realize that not everyone can participate each and every time ( or make it on time). So I talked to a few players about having an Open Merchant Market every two weeks along the East Merchant Road to the open area inside the east Gate of Hydlaa.

    As an open market it would not need to be sponsored, allowing vender's and crafter's a suitable place of commerce to set up and sell their wares. As well as set an area of interest for players looking for items. This road is well used and provides a great location for such a setting to be used.

    That being said I would like to post two dates for the next Merchant gathering's. This is to set up a time and location for a large in-game market. I feel that it could be scheduled on a regular basis every two weeks. ( again it is a come if you can event that the participating players can organize as they choose) That will allow the area to be
used frequently, and help to set it up as a daily market area in time as people get use to looking in that area.]

        [Again, this is to set a time and location for those who wish or can  participate. All are welcome to join in. If you wish to set-up a stand along to the road during the week or on another day, please post it here so we will know you are doing so. By doing so you may get some company from other merchants looking for business. Which in the long run only brings more customers.]


                                                                                                                            Have fun

Personally last time i was there it was fun. Except for the dwarf wall. The simultaneous movement made them look creepy as hell.
Also, i bought a lute.
Can't wait till next time.

[jaycol]

[ Ok, Now that the holidays are nearly past and other scheduled and unsceduled events. I would like to get back on schedule with this. Again it is my hope that we can get this market to operate on its own in time at a set place and time period. Basically every two weeks. It is designed to be self peserving with time but needs a hand to see that develope]

                  I would like to extend an invitation to all crafters, venders, or merchants
              To come and join in at the first big market for the new year.
                    I would also like to extend that welcome to All the citizens of hylaa and the

[A friendly reminder for the market today. I hope to see several Merchant there. I also would like to remind those that wish to set up a stand for thier character to sell items. The East Merchant Road is very long and provides  several open places along it for Merchants to display thier wares. It also opens up into a larger area near the East Gate. So spread out. This will allow for better indivual display and provide a realistic RP setting of the Market. It will he;p to keep main chats from overlapping each other as much, and will give buyers the chance to walk around looking for that item of interest. The open area just inside the gate is large enough for the event itself. It provides quite an open area which has yet to be utilized. So lets not bunch up in one particular area. Set your stands up a fair distance from each other to provide an actual market setting for your customers.]

         [ A big thank you to everyone who came to set up a stall and sell thier wares today. You did a great job! Thanks also to the carpet merchants who came to join us. Much Appreciated all. Thanks to all the customers who kept us busy throughout the whole event, you made it worth our while. it was good to see a steady flow of interested people right to the very end, and then some. I'll post the next date in a few days. Enjoy, I hope you had fun, I did.]

Bargains galore to be had,
Prices ain't half bad,
Hope yah all can come
If just ta haggle fo' fun
Yah is lookin' fo' somethin' I can tell
So come on down ta da Merchant's sale


[I do ask that all Merchants who set up a stall for their good, to please do not use shouts, use the auctions. The shouts were way too many and overwelmed the main chat window frequently. So please use /me shouts " Come and see my wares" as an action instead. Everyone knows we're there, so lets use our characters charisma to drwa customers in for a closer look. My Thanks. See you there]

 comment about the market will follow.

[Cilay_mecur]

AH, sorry The Way of the Hammer missed it. our shop has always made good tria at the markets, but found this thread a little to late and close to a RP we organised, hopefully next time!

[Nairan]

there was no real market...except you call the stand of woiperdingers a market..

.... fail ....

[jaycol]

there was no real market...except you call the stand of woiperdingers a market..

 [Actually they are quite a market of their own. I have Bartered with them more then a few times. They carry a very large selection of wares and items for interested buyers. They did show up at the begining of the Market time and held the market as scheduled. ( I unfortunately, had emergency home repairs that needed my attention more) However I did make the last hour and another before having to depart again.]
 
      [Failure? No!, I had about 10 customers, and did rather well. If there is any questions about the market please scoll up. This was never intended as a free entertainment activity. It is intended as a community oppurtunity to set a regular place and time for the activity. I had spoken to several characters in-game that had worked with markets and sells in the past. Many wish to see a regular market establish itself in the game. I doubt it will ever be a big activity each and everytime there is one scheduled. But! the oppurtunity will be there.]

  [ My present work hours have increased so my weekday playing time has been greatly effected so it is hard at the moment to advertise the market in-game as much. If a few of you that are interested in it could lend a hand to advertise it. I would very much appreciate your help]

[Hope to see you there]

[Shami]

You can expect The Steelheart Armory to be there.

    [Heh! Well? The market is still a go. I guess we'll just add some support to the Art Festival while we're there I do ask that we limit the shouts in main. Once every minute or so is way to many Thanks again Jaycol.]
    [For those that haven't seen it yet, Here's a link.  The two activities can blend and support each other nicely. So lets work it together and make it work well for all involved.]

[My Thanks to everyone who set up today in the Market. And of course to the many customers who stop by. Appreciated. I was looking at maybe having a few up Ojaveda way to make it easier for those that set up for the Unodin Celebration. I think it will make it easier for merchants if we did.  If we do I think we can merge it with a book fair into one activity. Let me know what thoughts you have on that.]
