So as not to hijack this thread, it reminded me of something I've noticed as well: wands/staves rewards are more common. I've received a few on my newer and/or unquested characters in my curiosity-driven motivation for completing quests.
I received a few wands/staves on characters that just wouldn't use them. I went to my nearest pawn shops and found I couldn't sell them there. It clicked that my wanderings would likely be in vain because the wand vendors' purchasing was removed from the game. No big deal; I can use them for kindling, right? I suppose, but it _would_ be nice to be able to sell them instead of risking the wand of disintegration lashing out angrily from within the bonfire.
Any chance we can renew the wands and staves vendor's ability to purchase them yet?

Sort of goes hand-in-hand, doesn't it? Quite the waste to see such useful items merely burn up or be sacrificed away. Heck, you can even find places to sell scrolls and potions, if you are detailed in your search.
I see no reason why wands/staves should not have some resale value, at least the quest types. Standard wands, such as 'a wand of magic missiles', should stay as unsellable. They are only generated by shops and I can imagine several "take from shop and resell" options for cash generating abuse there. Quest items, cannot reproduce those in any meaningful way, so less means for abuse.
More wands/staves, the better. It kindles my old ideas and hopes for the future of player crafted versions.

What's wrong with selling them to other players and/or bartering for something you can use that they can't use? I think that's nicer to see than just selling them off to the nearest NPC that has the cash monies.
Re: Revisit Wands and Staves vendor purchase?
Personal preference. People that want to barter them for something else to PCs have that option; it's not taking anything away from them.
