Cyene's got the right idea. Go to his house, buy it all back, put it back on your vendor at the original price. You just made a pile of money, you're fully restocked again, and he only got 50-100 merchant experience for all the cash he spent.

I have to agree with KnightHawk. He is giving you money for your stuff and that is better than it sitting on your shelf collecting dust. If you are really bothered by it I would put him on the ban list for your store.


One holo-merchant I ran across wasyelling that he had set up a new vendor selling holocrons. When I checked it out he was selling chance cubes called Jedi Holocron for 500k. I don't think the game needs more people like this and it is just another sign of how holocrons have ruined the game.





A guy on our server simply forum posted a holocron sale and then put a real one up on his server for 20 million credits (figuring everyone would look but not touch). Of course, 3 hours after posting it, someone bought it, and no one came by to give him experience.


I agree with the consensus, I'd just buy back all the food, and make him rebuy....it's cheap and easy profit, and you can keep giving him the same stock!

I bought it all back, and procedded to ban him from everty building I was admin on. I did this after cleaning out the items from his vendor.


He stated he was not in it for the money, but just the xp. He also said he has a new supplier now.


Good for him.


My main issue was that my repeat customers were being denied because of his holocron crap. My customers who continue to come back again and again are 1000x more valuable to me than one jerk buying me out for his holo-profession, regardless of the money.


I don't like to cause problems on my server, which is why I don't name people here. I generally respect the opinion of people in my professions over the common stranger and board trolls.

Good to hear you got it all resolved. Makes you wonder if he found another supplier, or just another vendor to clean out.

I have several issues with holocrons and the mess they made, but on a lighter note, I was told by a girl if I got her a holocron she'd marry me and do whatever I asked. Just had to sit back and laugh, considering holocrons arn't the only answer to unlocking FS.
