The video by TM Trev of ESO Tips centers on the intricacies of Guild Traders in Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), detailing their purpose, mechanics, and strategies for optimizing sales. Guild Traders are critical locations where players can list and purchase items, with a portion of the proceeds going to the owning guild, which uses the funds to bid for the trader each week. Major cities like Mournhold and Wayrest are prime spots, often requiring substantial gold for successful bids. TM Trev emphasizes using price checkers, either through a guild's Discord bot or the Tamriel Trade Center, to set competitive prices for items. For convenience, he suggests listing items via a city banker and keeping all trader slots filled, aiming to maximize profits by using the 'nine-nine' pricing tactic. He further advises targeting Traders in high-traffic areas like Mournhold, Wayrest, Eldon Root, or clustered near Way Shrines to boost sales, albeit at the cost of higher guild dues. The video wraps up with practical tips for Guild Masters on selecting optimal Trader locations to enhance buyer convenience and drive more sales.

In this part of the video, TM Trev of ESO Tips discusses Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) Guild Traders, including their purpose and mechanics. He explains that Guild Traders are locations where players can list and purchase items, with a small listing fee and a modest cut taken by the guild owning the trader. Guilds use the cut to bid for the trader each week, sometimes requiring millions of gold, especially in major cities like Mournhold and Wayrest.
TM Trev highlights that traders are typically easy to find in major cities, often clustered together, and can also be found individually in various zones. He suggests purchasing from a trader owned by one’s guild to support future bids. For convenience, he recommends listing items via the city’s banker instead of directly at the trader.
On pricing items, he advises using a price checker embedded in the guild’s Discord or band server, showing how to use it to find the median and average price, and listing items between these values. If a price checker is not available, he suggests using the Tamriel Trade Center to determine pricing based on the player’s region and device.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how to effectively list and price items for sale using various strategies. They highlight the limitations of Tamriel Trade Center for console players, recommending joining a guild with a pricing bot and using Discord price checkers instead. If these methods fail, they suggest manually checking prices at different traders in major cities to average out the value. They then explain how to list an item for sale by visiting a stationary banker, selecting the right guild, and using the ‘sell’ tab in the guild store. The speaker emphasizes keeping all trader slots filled and advises pricing items to end in ‘nine-nine’ to slightly reduce fees and increase profits over time.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses which Traders can generate the most sales, highlighting that Traders in major cities like Mournhold, Wayrest, and Eldon Root are the most consistent. However, these high-demand Traders usually require weekly dues from guild members. The speaker mentions that they still achieve significant sales without listing items in these top locations, noting that having a Guild Trader in a cluster of four to five others near a way shrine is effective as well. For Guild Masters, the advice is to choose Traders based on convenience for buyers, as this will increase foot traffic and sales.
