Well, my rooftop vendor, Sylvia (house is on the road leading out of Skara), does not have a lot of uber stuff. She does carry some crafter recipes and a few other items. Eventually, I will stock her up with better stuff.
*However,* now that my character Camriel is GM in tinker, arms lore, smith, tailor, carpentry, fletching, cooking, and alchemy (still working on fishing and imbuing), I am more than willing to "take orders." There is a bulletin board on the front of my house for that purpose, and I do check it daily. I can do ICQ, but I find the new ICQ annoying, so I will admit I don't run it all the time. However, I never turn off General Chat.
I think that I might prefer to take private orders as it lets me be certain that the price is right for the buyer and the timing is right for me to get them what they need. (I have 4 kegs that are waiting for OMGOOSES right now, btw.) I am also willing to barter if gold is in short supply.
