1. How many food items do you stock on vendors you placed yourself at each shop location. If you have a Merchant partner, this doesn't apply (since the skill point investment is handled by another player). If you have multiple vendors at a location, give the total number of items along with number of vendors. Try to give a fairly accurate estimate, within 10 or so.




• For the purposes of this poll, please only include food items (so don't count tissues if you also do BE, weapons if you also do weaponsmith, etc).


2. What Merchant skills do you currently have?




• Note: while it isn't included in the patch notes, and I haven't seen a dev post about it, I am assuming that pub 10 will also include the check for whether or not you have the skills to support the number of vendors you have. Give the management skill you would need to support the number of vendors (or planned vendors) post-publish.


3. (optional) How often do you restock and/or how many items do you sell off your vendors in a given week?

For me:

1. Number of items:




• Location 1: 2 vendors, 120 items


• Location 2: 1 vendor, 60 items (I really should restock this...)


2. Merchant 3-0-0-1


3. I've got a few loyal customers, but I'm not really a "big name" chef on my server. I sell between 10 to 30 crates a week.

1. Number of items:
* Location 1: 2 vendor, 100 items
* Location 2: 1 vendor, 20 items
2. Merchant 3-4-0-1
3. Dont sell too much. Restock only when i see im getting low on certain items. Move mini-crates and full crates at an ok pace. Anywhere from 5-10 a week.

1. Number of items:


2. Location 1: 2 vendors, 300-700 items

• Location 2: 1 vendor,150-300

1. Merchant : None (Mastered, then dropped. I have to hunt for creature resources, after all.)
   
2. Pretty busy, as Chef-ing goes.I sell 70+ full crates a week, countless singles with restock cycles every3-5 days.

1. Number of items:
   
   
   
   • Location 1:1 vendor,80 items (average)
     
   • Location 2: 1 vendor,80 items (average)
   
   
2. Merchant 3-2-2-4
   
3. I have quite a few loyal customers, but I'm smalltime on my server, lol




• sell between40 and60 full crates a week, plus a number of smaller crates (I only stock crates of 5,10 and 25, no single items).


• I havean averageof about85 sales a week.


• I watch my vendors closely, and restock every day, sometimes moving stock from one vendor to another to keep it stocked (and my second vendor is on a different planet)

Loc 1: 2 Vendors 80 items per week
Loc 2: 1 Vendor, 40 items, not selling much

Mastering merchant now, but planning on dropping it. Not gonna waste the points

I am a big name chef on my server and can easily sell 200+ crates a week if I put full time into it, as such I think I'll probably retire assuming this goes live. I don't want to spend the points necessary to get the space needed to support the quantities I sell.

For Tissier:

1. Number of items:
* Location 1: 50 items or so (i sell everything in crates, and I dont
sell all food)
2. Master Merchant
3. I'm not a big time chef. I sell probably 10 crates per week. Other times
I just stand in coronet and wait for people to buy from me direct.

1. 150-200 items over 2 vendors.
2. 4404 but I had hoped to drop some of this
3. Varies wildly. I restock 1-4 times a week, and sell 10 to 40 crates a week

1. Number of items:


2. Location 1:3 vendors, 200 items

• Location 2: 1 vendor,100 items

1. Novice Merchant
   
2. I sell about 50-75 crates per week

the changes suck.

1. Number of items:

• Location 1: 1 vendor, Over 200 items, average about 230, crates


• Location 2: 1 vendor, Over 300 items, however this is a single stack vendor.

1)

Vendor 1(Non BE Food) ~200 crates

Vendor 2(BE Food) After major restocks ~600-700 crates. Varies greatly though. Rarely less than 300 though as that pretty much means I'm out of mind foods and bivoli and therefore sales drop down for a few days.

Recently I've been overstocking, but average over the last couple months:

1. 150-200 items after stocking, single vendor
2. Master Merchant alt
3. Sell about 80-100 crates a week

Of the items on my vendor, about 50 are singles that sell reasonably fast but make up a small portion of my business and are easy to restock frequently. Another 50 are crates of items that sell very slowly. The remaining 50-100 are crates of brandy, canape, ahrisa, and bivoli that make up the bulk of my sales and need to be restocked at least a couple times a week to keep up.
