Selling to NPC's has been toggled off.
I would reccomend unraveling for imbuing materials to sell or throwing in the Luna trash bin for "trash points"
Those are two really good options.
Because original UO was meant to be a "supply" and "demand" economy back in 1998 - 1999. NPCs were only supposed to sell so much, per day, based on the gold in their pack. The problem was they had some coding issues so instead of fixing it they simply allowed NPCs to mint as much gold as they wanted.
Now on real UO people have billions and billions in gold.
Siege on UO though has one of the more stable and balanced economies even after 20+ years. They have never allowed the selling of items to NPCs. After 3+ years running gold still means something and we have no plans to change that now. Turning it in for clean up points, at any trash chest, will allow you to upgrade some of your gear and is a good suggestion.

This is an excerpt:
"Let me rephrase, it’s a radically subsidized economy. I’m not speaking of removing all subsidization, I’m talking about not flooding the game with gold.
NPC shops are a subsidy, obviously, as they buy stuff for which there is zero real market. In a non-usage game, we could say they subsidize the gameplay of adventuring (which gives you lots of useless stuff) or pursuing your chosen playstyle (like say, crafting stuff that nobody wants, because it’s how you have fun).
In a game like UO, which is usage based, the NPC shops are rewarding macroing and the pursuit of skill points. They’re not even rewarding having fun necessarily. They’re just a gold spigot."

It's cool. I get trying to keep the economy on an even keel. I played SP for a long, long time. Even started back up there again recently. Just seems that it put new players even further behind the development eight ball. Just my thoughts. Regardless...thanks for the feedback guys !! HOOWAH!
Yah it's a great idea. Encourages players to toss ps's, suits and higher end items up on vendors instead of hoarding them.
