Thread: I'm stuck with my vendor...can anyone help?
theres a lot of discussion about this on the merchant thread.
did you try sacrificing 3 chickens during the third phase of venus on a new moon, because thats what seems to work 
what i really did was drop the vendor, initialise twice (you have to do this quick before the option vanishes) then pay some maintenance then use. but if you check the merchant thread there are various combinations to try
I had the same problem. I ended up redeeding my home, then placed a vendor, and then it worked. Maybe not the best solution, but a solution nonetheless.

This is a bug.
It took me almost 60 tries before my vendor would initialize, that was like one hour of RL of place, initialize, try and use, nope, remove, get a new one, place, initalize, try, nope, repeat! Just keep trying it will eventually work.
Geeze this needs to be fixed!
This is a known bug with the Standard Terminal vendors. Every single time that I have put down a Standard Terminal I have this problem. However, there is a work around. Once you place the vendor and get it to where you want it, go ahead and initialize the vendor. Now that you have done that, click and HOLD (this is important) the mouse cursor over the intialize vendor menu selection again. You have to keep the mouse key held down during this step otherwise it will *poof* on you. I have move my mouse on and off this this several times for about 10 seconds. You may or may not see a change in the menu selections during this phase (I never have, but some claim they do). After these few seconds click off of the vendor and then try and use it. Providing you sacrificed live chickens on the proper phase of the moon during the Venus orbit (I liked that quote from above) then 9 out of 10 times this SHOULD work. Good luck with it.
