Personally, the bounty hunter vendor will go, too slow sales, I'd lose too much money on them.

Other vendor, not sure yet, but seriously considering closing up shop.

It all depends what the fee gets set to - theres alot of posts on it but I havent seen the devs come back to it since

Their proposal was something like: Total Value / 1000 per 45 minutes.

Basically that forces me to keep a very low stock. Cheap items will definatly not be stocked as they will only drive up the maintenance, perhaps 3 high end droid which I know will sell.

I never had a Vendor cause price was too high for so few demands :-((. And the real problem is the demands not the cost :-(.


I'm really happy when i can sell one droid in 5 days :/

Not using the merchant tree then? Right now NPC vendors have a 1 Cr/Day maintenance fee.
Also having global advertising means having your vendor on the planet map.

Right now, I can hardly keep up making the droids. This is not because I am such a nice fellow, sure of that Before I got global advertising I couldn't sell to the stones, now it's the other way around.

I only have 1 vendor that I use when a customer does not have the cash on him. I save him the 5% /bank tip charge by funneling the droid through my vendor.

Otherwise, I wholesale all my droids to a friend of mine, who marks them up and sells them. Works out very well for both of us. (I still take custom orders though)
