We're going to try something different for this Duskruin run!
The Treasure Trove (it's a thing... not a shop) will display five items for you to browse. One item you can purchase, and the other four are there for a display as "next up" treasure. If you purchase the one for sale, a random item will be selected from those on display, and that one will now be for sale. The empty spot within the items on display will be replenished.
An account can purchase only one item every 24 hours.
These items will sell for bloodscrip and will vary in style and quality. There should be many opportunities for players to purchase an item.
Items that don't sell will recycle after 12 hours.

> Is this restricted against F2P players buying items?
F2P will not be eligible to purchase items from the Treasure Trove at this Duskruin.
> Is the item(s) account/character attuned upon buying?
No.
>Will each account have access to the same items, or will it be different for each account? ie.. account 1 buys the item, different account comes along is there a different item for sale or will account 2 have the ability to buy the same item account 1 did?
I think I understand your question -- but what you see on the display is what you get. When that's purchased, that instance of that item is gone.
> Any idea what price range these items might have?
I'll give more information on this later.
> Does the expiration expire all 5 items, or just the top item so the next item moves up?
Just the item that didn't sell.
> Also, I'm assuming this is the new bag component distro method...
No, this is a completely separate system. There might be a limited number of expanders for sale, but the primary distribution method for those items will remain as it was previously -- through the sewers.

I think some lines got crossed somewhere for this to come across as a HESS replacement, maybe it's because a few similar items are in it. This is a replacement to using unique and jackpot feeder items, commonly called T5 and T6 by you, the players. You don't try to pull an item from it randomly and then pay for it, the items for sale rotate in and out on a timer with having one for sale at a time and four others on display as "up next." This is our solution to feeders and a prize wall. The moment something is purchased, one of the four items that were displayed rotates in to be for sale and a new item is placed on display. If the item isn't purchased, after some time it's rotated out and functions just as if it was purchased, the only difference is that the item can return for sale at some point.
The reasoning for adding a few high end items in here is due to how high profile items sell out instantly. This at least levels the playing field so that it's not gone within milliseconds of HESS opening up. As for why some other items were relocated from HESS to the trove is because they were either getting rotated out this run or they were going into a feeder (when the Dig was planned). The Trove also has no scaling in costs, and there are plenty of potions in the Trove (five of each).
