I've read some posts from people who think that the BE tree should get a vendor, but I don't think it will happen. What if instead they gave the Merchant tree a "consignment" vendor type? It would work a lot like the bazzar, only without the price limitations. The Merchant could charge a small listing fee and maybe take 10% of the buying price when the item is sold. The up-front fee (if large enough, configurable by the merchant) would prevent the vendor from being loaded up with low cost items, and taking 10% of the buying price would mean that they would probably try to advertise their vendor to increase sales. If the listing fee and the percentage of the buying price were configurable, then the different vendors could compete for the best overall deals.
any thoughts?

Does anybody NOT want vendors to be able to sell on consignment? Oh, right, the devs don't ... and that's the BIG problem.

Yeah... that is the real problem everyone likes it bu the devs... plus with the new storage/ how much crap you can dispurse amongst your vendors, I doubt many would have space for you these days... They should instead take the hard cap of price off auctions on thebazzar and hit you with a 10% IMP Tax, those$@&#$greedy ST's I can't wait to /rude one of them. Speaking of which have any of you newer Reb BE's gone up to an STand told them that the Empire Sucks? It will supply you with Hours of fun, if you have never done it.

umm the whole vendor patch was the merchant revamp until further notice (you know the one that sets limits and takes emptys off the world map) how much more revamping do you want for merchants. but on the be issue yes I had to take an alt and use her merchant skills to set up a pet vendor.its funny how she sometimes gets emails requesting pets when the vendor has the alts name who makes them. it would be alot easier especially for special orders I feel that BE's should at least get a vendor even if just 75 item limit one so they can sell thier orders and misc pets that we like to make at times.

The vendor changes was NOT the merchant revamp. Merchants are scheduled to get one because the devs realise there are fundamental problems with the profession but at this moment in time they have things to do that are more important... like JTL and the Combat balance/revamp/upgade/whatever the hell its called this week.

*Warning* I'm cranky this morning....
But this whole waaaah waaaaah waaaaah the devs want/ the devs think blah blah blah is total bullsh*t.
The devs have expressed no opinion either way on the issue of consignment vendors.
The simple matter of the fact is merchants havent had their revamp yet, its not their turn.
The changes to merchant were not clas related for the most point.
They were to prevent an unintended playstyle.

IOW all the noncombat professions will alwayswait until new content (read: new subscriptions) or combat revamp (since probly 75%+ of the playerbase are combat-only chars) are completely balanced and perfect, having to suffice on occasionalscraps tossed their way (vendor revamp, new skin patch, vehicles and mounts, with the possible exception of the chef revamp) unless it directly affects combat (pet nerf, wookiee armor, buff recode). So in other words crafters will never get the kind of lovin the Jedi and combat chars get =)
