Thanks for the help guys. A CSR finally came to fix my vendor last night without me having to re-deed my house. Your different tricks helped me place and initialize the vendor .

In case anybody else is still having problems with this, I might as well recount my own story...

I was trying to place a droid bartender vendor in my house. And I had heard that there was some problems getting this to work... But naturally I assumed everyone else was just being dumbasses That is until i found myself among the dumbass crowd

So then my first instinct was... Ahhh! I'll check the forums... After a number of unsuccessful searches, I stumbled across that stickied thread at the freakin top of every page on this forum and began testing methods from A-Z with no success what so ever! ...Until!!! ... I found the one that worked!!!

So as far as I am concerned here is the foolproof (or dumbass proof if you prefer) method to get yer vendors going...

Go to the Structure Management Terminal and pick up your vendor... Name it whatever suits yer fancy...

Drop the sucker and rotate him to yer pleasin...

Click on the vendor and initialize it...

Pause 0; (ie. as fast as you freakin can!!!)

Click on the vendor and use it...

You should now be staring at your vendor screen and asking yourself... OK Great ... NOW WHAT!

Well That is where I am right now... And I seem to have encoutnered a little problem as well... I was lookin at the perty new screen and sold an item or two (nothin huge... just a crafting tool to test things out) and then I went over to the stockroom... at the bottom I saw it saying something about downloading data... downloading data... etc... ie. the little bar was flashing... So I says to myself, self, we should close this and reopen it, that will stop the bugger from downloading data... Ohhh how wrong self was... Now I open the little fugger up and all I see is, initializing vendor... initializing vendor... intializing vendor... etc...

So now, I'm thinkin i'll just delete the bastage and start over again...

Well Cheers guys and many thanks to the dude who said to init and quickly click him again... Worked like a charm!

UPDATE: My vendor now seems to have unitialized himself and I get the vendor not initialized option... Even though he was previously... My only thoughts right now is... Stockroom is bad... Very Very Badd...

I have sent this information along to the programmer analyzing the vendor initialization issues.

Just adding my 2 cents, but I tried every method I read here and the only one that worked (after many frustrating failures) was to log off after I had the vendor in my inventory, but before I placed it. That worked on the very first try after several hours of mouse movement and vendor placement games.

strangly enough I used to have to try and replace a vendor about 15 times but the last 3-4 times I've placed vendors they have worked right away.

Not sure if something was hotfixed or not but whatever it is it's done the trick for me atleast.

my vendors never ever initialize on the first try... my solution?

I create the vendor, log off, log back on

drop the vendor, log off, log back on

position the vendor, " "

init the vendor, do a rain dance and play a song for it (I'm Master Musician and M. Entertainer )

" "

use the vendor... and it works

Heh.. I get it to work every time when I create the vendor in my inventory. Wait for channel update. Lay down vendor, rotate, initialize. DONE. works for me.

I tried a bunch of different things here. I was having issues with both bulky terminal and bar droids... it finally worked when I dropped it, then did Vendor Control/Initialize 3 times, I just kept doing it until the option changed, rapidly 3 times and poof it worked.

I just kept it in my inventory for a while (several login and out) and I had no problem placing and starting.

My God! Talk about pulling teeth.

Here is something that will absolutly work, tried it 10 times, worked all 10 times.

1 - drop vendor

2 - rotate right

3- select intialize

4- open radial and hover over rotate 15 seconds

5 - after 15 seconds select rotate left

6 -think positive thoughts, serenity now, or whatever

7 - use vendor

I tried leaving out steps, the 15 second pause is definatly required, BUT it won't work without the rotate. The pause alone isn't enough.

None of these have worked for me either. I do not know what to do now.
