Can anyone give me some info on if / where a place similar to the bazaar in old EQ would be. Im playing a dwarf priest in qeynos now and have looked all over and cant seem to find anywhere how to buy / sell goods other than merchants or the brokers. But the brokers never seem to have anything on them. Any sort of info on this would be much apreciated. Thanks.

So is it gonna be like ultima online? the player buying/selling that is.
There is a buying/selling FAQ located on the SOE EQ2 boards. Basically, you buy a bulletin board to sell yourself. To buy, you go to a broker, or you can go directly to the person's house. You are probably not seeing much for sale since the game is so new and people are just beginning to acquire stuff.

That is the Dwarven Hovel.
Anyway, here is the FAQ by Blackguard on the official boards.
So yeah, the above poster has it right. You buy a bulliten board then sell things using it, though your character. Not sure exactly how that will work in the instanced appartments, but we'll see. I'm planning on getting me a board after I get my guild started.

In anticipation of questions on how to use the market, here's an explanation of how things work
Place a Market Bulletin Board inside your House
Once you own a house of any type including an Inn Room or Small Apartment, you can open a store from there to sell items. To open a store, you must purchase a market bulletin board from a furniture merchant in East Freeport or North Qeynos. Place this on the wall inside your house. Once placed, right click on the market bulletin board and select "Access my store". This opens the store window.
The Store Window
Use the Store Window to set item prices, list items for sale, and start selling.
The store window has two tabs: Merchandise and Sales Log. Unequipped items and empty bags on your person appear in the Merchandise tab. Each item has a price and a for sale status. Select an item and set the price by pressing the "Set Item Price" button. Enter the price by typing the number and the coin type and then press OK. List the item for sale by pressing the "List Item for Sale" button. Similarly, to unlist an item select the item and press the "Unlist Item for Sale" button. The same functionality can be accessed from the right-click context menu.
The cities of Qeynos and Freeport each have their own market. Press the "Browse the Market" button to browse items that other people have for sale in your Market. This opens the Market Window.
When you are ready to make your items available for others to purchase, press the "Start Selling" button. You become a merchant at this point, with the title "Merchant" in front of your name. The default access level for your house is increased to "Visitor" to allow people to enter and buy items from you. The items you offer for sale are listed in your local market (Qeynos or Freeport).
Others can find your items through their own Market window or by visiting Brokers in your city. People can buy your items from the Brokers for an additional broker fee which is a percentage of the item price. People can save the broker fee by coming to your house and buying it from you directly. While selling in your house, other players can interact with you as a merchant. They can right click on you, select "Buy from Merchant" and the Merchant window will appear with your listed items for sale.
When you are done selling, press the "Stop Selling" button. If the default access level of your house was increased, it is decreased to its previous level.
The Market Window
You can use the Market Window to search the market.
Find items in the market by setting the Search values and pressing the Find Items button. Using the default Search values will find everything in the market. The Reset button resets the search values to their defaults. The Find Items button sends your Search to the market and the results of your search appear in the Results panel on the right.
Page through the results with the "Next" and "Previous" buttons. Jump to the first and last page with the "First" and "Last" buttons. The Search results list the item, the price, and the Seller Name and Location.
The Broker Window
The Broker window is used to buy items from other players through a broker. For this service, the broker charges the the buyer an additional 20% markup.
Several brokers can be found in your city. Right click on a Broker and select "Buy from Broker". The Broker window appears. Enter your Search and press Find Items. Similar to the Market window, Items in the Broker’s Market matching your Search filter appear in the Results panel. Select an item from the Results panel. Press the "Buy from Broker" button to buy the item through the broker.
The Black-Market
In addition to purchasing items for sale in your own city, you may choose to go with the more seedy black-market brokers. Certain underground brokers will allow you to purchase items from the opposing city (for a price, of course).

Few things to remember:
You MUST be online to sell
You MUST be sitting in your house to sell...
Kinda waste of time IMHO

Nah... Just sit your character in your house and either minimize the game (it runs in a window), go do something else (if you're going to a movie, put your bazaar up) or leave it up over night.
Of course, that is kinda rough for those on dialup or with a "family" computer.
So explain this to me again... How do I buy from someone then. I have to access a broker? Where abouts is a broker?

You don't have to buy from a broker.
You can search the market in your own room if you own a Market Bulliten Board. You can also search through a broker. If you find something you want to buy, you can buy it doing one of two things.
1. Go directly to their house, enter their house, and browse the player's wears like they are a merchant. You will get the item for the price listed.
2. Go to a broker and buy directly through them. The item will be at a small marked up price.
You can purchase things from the opposing city but only through a black market dealer. These items will be at a very high markup. I've heard you can also sneak into the city and get to people's houses, but I don't know how feasable that is. Very hard to get to the city, let alone get past the guards.
I don't know where the brokers are, but they make it sound like they're all over the place.
Ask around. Maybe someone in game will have seen one. Edited, Thu Nov 11 15:40:33 2004 by Lewskinslayer
Ok so we have to sit in our homes to sell, not that different from sitting in the bazaar. Will we be able to do trade skills in our home? Put up your bulletin board then go to your work bench and star makeing stuff. That would be cool.

I don't believe in the basic homes we'll be allowed to have artisan equipment. I've heard rumors that higher end guild houses have artisan equipment, as well as the ability to sell from them. So another perk for being in a high prestige guild. Some of the non-instanced housing may also have equipment in it.
