I have to wait around for 15-30 minutes so i can buy some reagents. It really makes me want to play more, because it is exactly what i want to do in the game, i love waiting around.

try different times and go to all shops

many times i just go to buy a rune or a few scrolls or whatnot and i find hundreds of regs not being picked up for ages.

Player vendor reg prices aren't insanely higher than town vendors. Just spend the time playing the game (any decent farming spot) and you'll probably come out ahead in gold and even gain a few skill points (unless you're on a 7x GM, in which case you shouldn't even care about gold at all), instead of camping town vendors.
PS: I've NEVER had to recall to more than 4 reg shops to find at least 100@each. Are you only camping 1 single mage shop?

the npc vendors end to restock about every hour. i promise you this that if you set up a buy agent and recall to a few different mage shops (dont foget t2a) you can buy regs!

tru dat homie...
I still don't get why they need a pos ringmail chest and thigh boots... i mean just kill a shardie like we do...
*edit*
Just recalled to moonglow north mage shop, which is probably I would guess because it has so many mage npc's in it the most frequented but usually bought out mage shop in britania and I was able to get all the regs I needed/wanted in 30sec's, so I think its just the luck of the draw. hoowah! run on sentence! take that grammar Nazis!

I recommend buying or copying a mage shop runebook. If you check all of the shops and use a buyagent, then you will likely get every reg you need in one run, regardless of the time.

I recommend dropping magery. It's weak.
