Information.

Can be about anything, starting from some clay nodes map, ending by the mapping of the new settlements, gathering the information about their leader/number of people/stage of the development. Can be anything related to the information, maybe some tutorials, or village/factory design. I bet, the people working over such things would be payed quite a lot and been highly demanded.

Jordan Coles sleeps in a snuggie, does this count? If so I want a pearl :P

Yes information is very much sought-after. but very easily open to trolling. I tried back in W3 to get people to disclose the location of a Q90+ clay spot on a river. ( before CR's could be built in shallow water to block vandalization. ) And gave up after 3 false locations. So you see the problem here is trust. Do you pay first or after. Nodes of the quality that would entice such espionage would be almost priceless, and as such anyone that does find one would not sell the location but the resources they loot from it. And if it is protected without any way of determining the truth it becomes almost worthless to try to sell it....

"for 5 pearls i'll tell you where Q98 water is..." "sweet ya sure here you go"...."ok thanks its behind this double brick patrolled wall. "...."well crap how am i suppose to get that?"..."not my problem..lol thanks for the pearls"

anyway I'm rambling.
The problem with trading / selling information (on the internet) is sorting out the 1% truth from the 99% lies and disinformation.

So...you verify the node, THEN pay?

Low q ore, boards/blocks and similar building materials (slavework :P) is something that I tend to "buy" in my village but would probably accept from outside sources if they were fast with delivery and cheap enough.

Large chests, traveler's sacks - those are usually "on demand" but if you make them you'll probably get a buyer really fast.

I'm willing to bet you'd be able to sell fish pretty fast as well :)

1: sellers a troll and demands payment first only to provide no / false info.
2: buyers a troll and won't pay before getting said location/ info
2a: then refuses to pay
2b: then refuses to pay based on not being able to verify a protected node.
2c: then refuses to pay until he can "break in " and verify then just never gets it done.
3: they were both trying to troll the other.

Cause noone is going to sell the location of a valueable node unless they are the ones that own it and they found better.

One thing I noticed is that white/black/blue bricks seem to never be listed.

It would be interesting to see a person who loves hunting/foraging selling those.

Cavebulbs are usually stuff that people use to pay for other stuff. I got LOADS of cavebulbs as payment for stuff in my shop...
