I've not seen mention of this detail in any of the update info on lodestone, and I haven't actually seen this specific issue in all the complaints about bazaars and market wards. (Sorry if I missed it.)
But it's kind of ludicrous that in order to request items through my bazaar, I firstly need said item, AND to purchase multiple items I need atleast the same number of said item already...
If I am looking to buy something doesn't it sort of insinuate a lack of that item?
in it's current state requesting items only ideally works for shards/crystals and a few materials and only if have them already... why can't I set my retainer to request a weapon I am looking for at the price I am willing to pay? Or if I run out of lightning crystals to make thread why do I need to go find/buy more before I can seek them in my bazaar?
It's a very backward system right now.

I agree that this issue needs to be fixed at some point. One should be able to seek items without having to have them already. Good call on posting this one I am kind of surprised it hasn't been posted already.

I support this!
And, I have no idea why it's not bothering anyone else.
Actually, I can take a wild guess and say it's because it's not a completely flexible and player owned economy yet.
It makes absolutely no sense to have the desired item and in the correct amount in order to buy something you don't have.
Also, such request should be incorporated in any future market search in order for sellers to easily find buyers too not only the other way around.

It has been mentionned several times already at least 1 month 1/2 ago.
In any case, the technical reason for that is that it is a lot easier to identify something if you can readily show it from your inventory. To do away with that, we would have to access a full list of all existing items in the game (with all different quality). It mean building this menu, maintain it after each maintenance (new gear), add the relevant search function to navigate it etc. I can understand it has not ben done "yet".
I hope in the future this will be possible, the fact we can buy items like that (not only sell) is way cool and a really nice upgrade to a regular AH system. Again, the implementation is a fail, even though the idea was good.
