UO Second Age

I remember during this era if a player sold magic weps to vendors, they would be on the vendor and you could buy them. I remember coming up with some nice items by buying stuff people accidentally sold.

Indeed, anything sold to vendors is available for purchase from them, although the items will disappear over time if not sold.

The price of those items is the only indication of their properties however.

Derrick I sold some items to the blacksmithing vendor, and though it looked like he had them still, when I tried to rebuy it wasnt a magic item anymore. I said a close helm and a couple weps and it showed them at the bottom, but it didnt say magic on them, and when i rebought they were just normal.

Thats kind of odd. Do provisioners buy weapons? Try one of them.
