doubt it, I havent tried but one of two things would probably happen.

1. your vendor will disappear (probably not likely) - but then again who knows.
2. you will probablyget a pop-up message that says you cannot do this.

Try it and see.

I did drop all of my artisan skills for 2 days and the vendor was still active. I asked someone the same question and they said they were going tonerf that soon. So be careful. Goodluck

As of now, you will keep the vendor but maintenance will increase. But as Lexx said there are rumors of a change on this although i dont know if it were to be implemented if it would retroactively delete your vendors already in place. But a move like that would not suprise me given how they retroactively nerfed droid armor.

Make a visit to the Merchant forum. This is a very heated debate and one of their top 5 issues. Merchants are calling for the devs to disable vendors where merchant skills have been dropped, though there is no indication as to if or when this will actually happen. Though the devs have admitted this is an undesireable game mechanic (dropping merchant skills and still running vendors).

No, as of now, you can drop business all the way down and keep your vendor... I have a vendor and it is still running... Im not sure if it costs more to run it (that is possible) but you will not loose your vendor or the things inside... There is talk that they will change this (the merchants are not happy that people can do this) But that would be a big change and they would have to give everyone far warning... I know right now I would lose millions worth of items if it just dissappeared so until the change, you can safely drop it and keep your vendor. THey would have to warn us ahead of time....

To summerize:

Yes, if you put up a vendor then drop the skills, you will retain the vendor

Yes, Merchants are furious about this and have been working hard to change it

Yes, the Dev's have stated this should not be (you don't keep weapon certs when you drop a skill, after all....)

Do it if you want, but be prepared to lose everything on the vendor if the bug is fixed. You can't expect the CSR's to give everything back if you were exploiting a bug
