Merchant Archive

add me to list as well.

slim terminals/protocol droids/fancy terminals. Just moved 500 items out of PA Halls etc and trying to place new merchants into Tents. Now have bags and bags of items and was dumb enuff to destroy old vendors.

So heres hoping get a bloody vendor to work at some point here.

Havent suffered with points spent on Master Merchant since week 2 to resign myself to hawking my chit outta bags at the satanlike spamfest that is Coronet Starport or somewhere just as obscene.

Tho this is not quite as bad as having moved about 100 factory crates of harvesters and drillin rig itemsin bags into a small storage house and walking in 30mins later to find a few things lying on the floor like they had been BEFORE moving in the new stuff and the new stuff nowhere to be seen.

Option was given to pick up the old stuff on floor that was no longer even IN that house. Was scared to actually use the pick up option tho for fear it looked an awful lot like a way to dupe stuff. Since I checked in the other storage place and the items that were on the floor in the " mysterious house that flew back in time 2hrs" was in the new bags in the other place. Long story short..well..not THAT short..but logged off in mortal dread and 2hrs later logged on and everything was just fine in the world once again.

Point being at least this vendor bug crap gives me somewhere to vent the righteous indignation I have pent up from logging on 2hrs later last nightand finding I wasnt out 3mil in supplies.

oh yeah. reason I switched to term's and droid's earlier was because I couldnt get anything BUT the 3000 year old Twi'Lek female earlier. So odd.

Go post count.....it's your birthday!!!

I had a problem with this when I was trying to use two of the same vendor type. I was trying for a half hour to use two protocol droid vendors. Then I realized that I can have only one each of a type (or so my theory was). Then I used a "hammerhead" vendor and he initialized first try. This is my theory.

I've been able to duplicate this myself in one of my locations on Tatooine. It only affects droids and terminals apparently and only in some locations. The server boundry is the most likely explanation but I don't believe my shop near AH is on a boundry the boundry is between Bestine and AH from my recollection and I am in the wrong direction for it to be close to me.

I can't initialize any vendors either.

Tried all the types I could, in all the houses I've bought, moving and not moving before initializing, gave up after the 20th one...

That happened to me today too. I got Business III a couple days ago and placed a bulky vendor in our PA hall, but it's giving me the same error.

THANK YOU! I was really frustrated today with this bug but here is what worked for me...simply place the vendor then initialize. Don't pay maintenance or rotate. Also, be sure there is no lag in the system so the initialize can complete. I found after I initialized my vendor the first time, then went back to the radial menu to try and access it, I still had the option to rotate it. I didn't do anything and just waited. Checked the radial menu again after about 30 sec and no rotate option. I attribute this to lag but it could be something with this bug....at any rate, after that my vendor has been working like a charm.

I used the /rotate left <# ofdegrees> command to rotate it into position. So my worries are now over...right???

Ahh well, maybe not but at least this problem has been solved. Thank you to everyone for your replies, I seriouslywould not have triedanything else until after the next patch. I alsodidn't feel quite so upset when I saw others having the same problems. What a glorious day it will be when these aggrivations are resolved once and for all.

I have been having some major problem with vendors.

The two messages I get are that my vendor has not been initialized and "Terminal is malfunctioning"

What a pain.

Put me on this list also. I'm having the same problem as almost everyone else. When i place a vendor and initialize and pay maint. it still won't work. I've tried all of the combos everyone else has tried but to no avail. This really sucks because i can only get like 100 merchant xp per day because of this bug. Please send help asap!! I'm so upset that i got a holo that said master merchant!

There is a post at the top of the forum with a possible workaround found. Please try it and let me know if it works for you. I'm not sure why the particular method seems to work but it worked for me as well.

update.

finally got mine working yesterday by using the ..dont pay maint and dont turn before initializing routine.

Tho it was more likely dumb luck and I finally got two out of 200 to work.

I prefer to believe the miniventing here showed myinferiority to the Great Sony Gods and they accepted my post as proper supplication and rewarded me.

It could happen!

still can't get it to work...
