(Question) Sonoma Shops

Coming back to UO after a 5-6 year hiatus and while the vendor search feature is awesome, no one seems to stock anything on vendors or run them in general. I have put some messages out in public chat about buying and selling things, but public chat seems to be as dead as vendors.

Is Sonoma really as dead as it seems or are people hiding off in other areas now days and not around Luna or in public chat?

Can't speak to the Sonoma population, but make sure you're calling out in the General chat channel, not the Help channel. Seen people get hung up on this lately. You're in the wrong channel if you see bots spamming info about gold selling sites.

it depends what you are asking for in chat.
someone was asking about the SDI earrings in chat
most of the people who have those on Sonoma
only got them for their characters

I usually try to watch General Chat
but when I'm doing BODs for the Artisan Festival
I tend to be ingrossed in what I'm doing

is there something specific you are needing?

I did validate I was in the General chat channel. Even jumped over to the Trade channel as well for a bit.

Smaller shard people tend to not put stuff on vendors calling out in chat works great
It hasn't really worked though is part of the problem. I spam for two hours and I am on the only person I see saying anything in chat.

With the new vendors that charge a flat rate at sale, almost no reason to not put something on a vendor. Costs you nothing until it sells. Price it appropriately and when people use the vendor search functionality it shows up.

Some of the items I have asked about over the past couple of weeks have been some of the shard bound items from previous events (do not get me started on thoughts related to shard bound and limited time events) but things such as candelabra of souls, stone tables, granite, etc. Fortunately I have shard shields and plenty of tokens so I have been making trips to and from Atlantic to go buy resources and items. Namely because I cannot find them on Sonoma.

Right now I am looking for candelabra of souls, dull copper stone tables, or dull copper granite. Granite would be ideal so I can make what I need too when I need too. Just started a transfer to Atlantic to move some more gold over to do more shopping. :(

Those vendors use up house storage; alot like the stewards. They take up lockdown space in your house. Because of this, many either don't use them or only put a few high priced items on at a time. I don't use these for that reason. It's not worth taking up house space for player made house deco. (At this point esp on smaller shards, most players have a crafter and just make their own.)

For items that are player crafted, try the specific shards forums on the official forms also. If you use Discord, they have channels for specific shards also. I don't use them but I hear others talking about it. Someone here may know of one for Sonoma.

I have 3 tables (1 medium, 2 large) and a number of chairs plus a little bit of granite (126). You are welcome to them

Thank you for the offer. I am actually wrapping up unpacking my trip back from Atlantic with plenty of granite and some other things. Getting things 'setup' so hopefully I can find my things and start actually playing.

I guess I missed the piece when I was reading up on the new vendors. Might have to rethink the vendors I am going to setup in the future depending on how much product they move. Got plenty of room in the house I will be running them out of though.

Thanks. I have actually managed to square away most things I was looking for or needed. A few transfers to and from Atlantic. Fortunately I have shard sheilds and having been gone for a few years, they were full of tokens.

Good to see some old faces still around though.
