Now, apparently, even the one place I knew of in the entire game that you could sell wands will no longer buy them..

On another topic with wands:

I think Identifying wands should add the spell name to the end of the wand or something. I have like 14 wands on one of my characters and cant tell what each does after IDing them.

a fantabulous ivory wand with phoenix feather talisman (sleep)

Something like that might help. Or place the tag in the key words. So i will still have to remember I have a wand of sleep.. but can just pull it out by: get sleep manpurse

I would love to be able to sell wands and scrolls. They can only be used by a limited subset of character and I have tried selling them. Often the spells are so low level and so common I cant find anyone willing to buy them. In the end I give them away and even then a wizard only really wants ones he cant find a teacher for. I even saw someone us a scroll to start a fire once. Because it was worth more in place of coal then as a spell.

I would heartily support the ability to put user generated labels on wands and preferrably potions as well.

On the note of labeling, I would suggest a more broad solution of creating a tag item that you can buy and then use to attach to any item. The tag would allow the user to attach 2 words to the end of an item's short description and would be removable (but not reusable). That would not only resolve the problem of identifying potion and wands but allows people to mark the properties of any magical items or even would allow merchant characters to place prices on the items they are selling.

Another thought, we could allow wands to be recharges using the alchemy produced shards, maybe create/discover a new ritual ?

Happy to elaborate this if thought to be a good idea.

I would rather see them makeable rather than rechargeable, it makes more sense to me....
