Vendor woes

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.starwarsgalaxies (More info?)

I've been a Merchant and have had vendors on Flurry/Naboo for
quite some time now, and have recently noticed some disturbing
behavior.

It's well-known that when a sale expires after 30 days on a
private vendor that the item is removed from sale and placed in the
"Stockroom" section of the vendor.

Apparently, as I'm finding out, if an item sits in the
Stockroom for 7 days, it disappears! I opened a trouble ticket today,
and the developer that responded told me that yes, items will
disappear after 7 days. This is to prevent people from using their
vendors in order to beat the storage limits in a house! Unfortunately,
items are also disappearing that WEREN'T in the stockroom!

I'm a Master Droid Engineer, and a darn busy one at that! I
need to keep a large stock of sub-systems that go into the wide
variety of droids I sell. Since I also harvest my own resources, I
need every lot I have, which means I can't easily put up another house
for storage.

I also currently have six droids in various cities that all
need to be kept stocked. If items are going to disappear, it's going
to put me out of business.

Anyone else noticed the disappearing items from their vendors?
Any suggestions for storage? I'm thinking of using one of my
factories, but that's awful inconvenient.

Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions/sympathy!

Yes, I've noticed that too, that items disappear after 7 days in the
stockroom and I believe you also get an email to that effect. Since I have
300-400 items on my vendor, I really wouldn't catch something disappearing.
As for storage, I use small houses as they are more cost effective and hold
the same as medium houses but cost less in maintenance. I also use my banks'
safety deposit, my factories (just as good as a house but less pretty..lol)
and also my droids.

Can also leave factory produced items in the output hopper.
Personally I use factorys for storage. The downside is when the
maintenance runs out they go pop very quickly. (24 hours? less?) The
advantage is you can store 100 items / lot + anything in the output
hopper.

As a Master Weaponsmith, I just setup non-advertised vendors and stock all
my components on there at prices nobody would pay (well if they want to pay
them fine by me, heh... 2.5 mil for 25 Adv Blaster Power Handlers
anybody?)... then I just cancel the sale when I need something to craft and
yank it out of the stock room.

When something hits the stockroom you get an email... just visit the vendor
within 7 days and put it back up for sale from there... presto another 30
days of storage... it's not like it costs all that much to have a vendor at
Master Merchant... 9 credits per hour,.
