I am asking this without any intended snarkiness. 
I see many chesapeake players shopping on Atlantic, both to buy and sell. I also see an increasing number in my actions as well.
That said, all you have to do is look at a Vesper auction, and you see that the level of items is often somewhat lacking. This is not due to any fault of Ivy or victor!
. I am just stating the obvious - higher-end items and equipment simply doesn't go to auction on Chesapeake, nor is it often available for sale on vendors or anywhere else.
So many of us carry a sizable amount of gold on Atlantic, transfer stuff to Atlantic to sell, buy stuff on Atlantic, and transfer stuff home from Atlantic.
But other than Angelica and the other couple of malls, pretty much vendors seem dead on Chesapeake. So let me ask what might be an obvious question.
what would it take for you personally to set up even just one Vendor full of random stuff you have to sell. If all of us had even just a single Vendor full of random stuff, the selection for shoppers on chesapeake would grow significantly. Who knows next time you need something you might not have to transfer it back from Atlantic - you could just buy it right here on Chesapeake.
The one thing I do think we all need to get past though is the idea of "Atlantic prices". Price is price is price. I see stuff not sell at half its value on Chesapeake, get transferred to Atlantic, and sell at full price. I see people at the chessie auction who won't pay 2 million for a 10 million item, but then spend 10 million on Atlantic only to have to transfer it home. Sure, some things can get over inflated on Atlantic, but that doesn't mean that chesapeake is somehow immune to the price found on the other 24 transferable shards. And besides, wouldn't you rather buy that piece of gear and use it today, rather than having to wait until it can be transferred from Atlantic?
