Thread: Vendors eating all new items posted since the patch

every single item i've posted this morning since the servers came up has disappeared from my vendors. all the items that were on them pre-patch remain. i know no one has come in to buy them asi have received no "vendor sale complete" emails, my bank balance is unchanged, and i've seen no one enter the shop. they are not in the stockroom or listed somewhere else when i check all my auctions for the entire galaxy and they were not returned to my inventory.


i have four vendors in my shop and each one of them ate whatever i had posted within 30-45 minutes. they seemed to disappear after the vendors had a bout of getting stuck at the "initializing the vendor" screen for 5 minutes or so. after they worked again, the items i had put up were gone and they seemed to have been rolled back to whatever they had pre-patch. i realized this when i saw an item i had put up before the patch, then taken down and reposted with a new price after the patch had returned to its pre-patch price.


anyone else having this problem or do i just have "special" vendors? i have not tried placing new vendors and seeing if the same thing happens. i'd already lost 100k or so of inventory before i realized what was happening and don't feel like logging back in

Because of the Hiring 4 change not working on pre-patch vendors. I would suggest destroying all vendors and replacing them. A huge pain for you perhaps.... I have 6 of them loaded with items. But better safe than sorry.

As I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing from me.. Some of the vendors are busted anyway. I have 6000cr lost on 2000 steel resources near Anchorhead that is on lockdown in the available items area. I am too scared to check my vendor today..

Several people bought some items off my vendors this morning, the amount of money I have on me increased, and the sales completed just fine.

Yea I've had successful sales post patch as well, and I've only replace 1 of my 6 vendors and the sales were from one of the old ones.

I too am having problems.

I placed 4 Probot deeds on my vendor this morning and then did a /logout (as well as restart of the SWG Client).

I came back a couple of hours later and the Probot deeds were gone. No sale - just gone. The odd thing is that I placed some Seeker and Arakyd Probe Droids this morning and they remained on the vendor.

I had problems at lunch with my vendor. I was going to restock but never got that far. First I went to the stockroom and put about 15 item there up for sale. Then I started down my for sale list seeing what items I needed to craft to further stock the vendor. I got down to an item Ihad just restocked from the warehouse that has not been selling good so I decided to drop the price on it. I had 4 in stock so I moved them back to the warehouse. When I switched back to the warehouse tab and pressed refresh the vendor sat in a loading state for a couple minutes. So I closed the vendor then tried to get back in. Vendor won't load. So I decide to give it a rest and craft a couple things I know I need.


I come back about 10 minutes later and then the vendor loads fine. But everything that I had done is now undone. All 15 items I moved to the for sale tab are now back in the wearhouse.

Though I haven't checked, I think the items I put up for sale are still there... but one of my suppliers has had problems with items being offered to the vendor simply being eaten. When I go to buy them, they aren't there. It's not 100% though. One of the items he offered was there, and I was able to buy it.

I too am experiencing this problem.


So I made up some new Commando weapons, Light Lightning Cannons, and a few T21's that people were wanting, and loaded em up on my vendor this morning. They appeared there for a little while, then about 15-20 minutes they just disappeared, and still haven't come back. I emptied all the rest of the stuff off my vendor, but the newly placed items still won't show up. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone got any ideas?


I'm afraid to remove and replace the vendor, as I'd really rather not lose 250K worth of weapons. Anyone got any thoughts?

I haven't noticed anything go missing today. Question, since you have to replace your vendors to dress them - is there any correlation between 'new' vendor - and this happening - to the folks that are experiencing it?

I have a question are the disappearing items happening only on NPC Vendors or all vendors?
