Hi,

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm just starting to bump my alt to Merchant, & have a couple of questions - tried the FAQ, no go.

Q1.

My main is a master doc - I'm looking to sell buff packs, am worried lest someone inadvertently buys up all my health buff packs, for instance, rather than buying full sets of 6. I'm hoping Vendr Bags are the answer - will let me put full sets of packs up for sale. What are they/how do they work - does anyone have a link to an answer maybe?

Q2.

The bats have been kind recently, & I've a ton of skill tapes to get rid of - some pretty good. I want to give them to my guildmates only, what's the best way of doing this?

I'm thinking of putting a vendor in my house, then making it Private not Public, then adding guildmates to the Entry list, putting the tapes on the vendor at 1c each, & putting a 1c entry on the buidling as well. Not sure if the Entry list will override the 1c entry fee, but not too worried if it does. I can trust my guildmates not to buy out the entire stock to resll at proper prices. Reckon this way, they'll be able to browse the vendor for what they want, & only my guildmates will be able to access the building & hence the vendor.

I beleive the vendor won't show on the planetary map (I've read from the FAQ you can't put it on the map ntil hi in Merchant - I'm not even Novice yet) so I won't have other players beating on the door demanding access.

Is this the best way of doing it, or am I cocking something up?

Thx,

Iam.

A1. "Vendor Bags" are just putting items in a backpack or satchel or such and putting the container up for sale on the vendor. You are selling the backpack, not the contents as far as the vendor is concerned. The DEVs put a warning message in the game to tell the player that they risk buying a backpack with little of value in it. There is no way for the person shopping to see what is in the vendor. People usially name the backpacks what the contents are. Such as "Full suit red advanced composite armor 80% kinetic" or "Full set of doctor wound packs" or "Full set of doctor buff packs" etc etc.

A2. There is no way to prevent John Q Public from buying off your vendor. Currently there is no way to limit who gets to buy an item you place on the vendor. You cannto set a house private that has a vendor in it, nor can you set individual items on the vendor to be for certain players only. If you have a backpack marked "Billy armor", I'd still be able to buy it even though I am not Billy.

Vendors only show up on planetary map if you want them to and you register them on the planetary map.

Actually the only way to TRY and server just your guild is to put all other guilds on the build ban list.

IF the devs cared about this issue, a simple reverse of this statement to the banlist would work, e.g., notguild:YOURGUILD or onlyguild:YOURGUILD would work.

Also this has been an issue since August 2003 AFAIK. Don't look for any attention to it soon. It ain't sunglasses or carrying a lightsabre.

I have thought about putting a private vendor inside a gungan head. This way only your guildmates will know to look there.

You can see vendors on the overhead map, so it could be found easily...

Thx very much for the info - good news re "vendor bags" - bad news re private entry etc.

Perhaps I should just keep the vendor a secret, trust nobody but guildmates know to go in, either that or put everything on at 9999999 credits price, with a note that guildmates can have 'em for 1c.

However, I just went back through the threads and found a possible solution: Apply a huge (50k?) access fee to the building. Then, give your PA members access. Apparently, this makes only them exempt from the access fee.

What about in a PA Hall ?

Can't you restrict access to the PA Hall to PA Members only? Couldn't you get Admin rights from the PA Hall owner and then put a vendor inside it? Would non-members be able to get inside to use that vendor then ?

Thanks!

Didn't they put a (rather low) limit on access fees in last patch or the one before?

Yes. A couple of months ago it was lowered to 50k..I've asked them to raise that back to something in the 2000k range at least but I haven't gotten any where with it yet.

So make the building public but add an entrance fee, then add people you want to use the shop to the entry list? This might work, though rich people would go inside anyways probably.

I tried this yesterday. It does appear to work.

Thanks!!
