I recently sold a charged item to a Halfling mold merchant in Rivervale and, despite apparently having many slots open, she didn’t display the item I had sold. What’s up with that?

Is there a fixed number of slots every merchant has?

2. Someone can come by and buy your item while you are selling the depleted items to be recharged. I seem to remember some drama about this on blue, where some people would lurk behind a guild going to recharge their items to scoop up a few.
This is a thing here, too. I wouldn't risk a recharge unless you are the only one in the zone or know where everyone is at, have see invis, or can track by distance.

There are quite a few sociopaths stalking vendors waiting for someone to recharge something, and they know they're not petitionable since you sold the item to the merchant and its fair game for anyone to buy.

i just use an out of the way neriak booze vendor that no one uses. using any in open zones is asking for trouble, be quick about it and have see invis up if you insist on the convenience

1. There has to be an empty slot for the item. Popular merchants get their slots filled quickly. If you sell an item to a merchant w/ no slots, it is gone.

Someone recently had this happen to them twice while red wood wanding specs in Oasis. They continued to use Gypsy vendors despite the same person lurking and buying the wands. No sympathy for that person since they opted to continue doing the same thing despite the obvious lesson learned that most people would enjoy.

Recharge in a zone where you are the only person in the zone and far from a zoneline

The best vendors are empty vendors, out of the way obscure ones in quiet cities.

Think Felwithe or the back end of Neriak.

Then again, people are lazy and never stray far from high ZEM zones.

As you were.
