Most shipping companies (including the post office) will pick things up.
You can even buy postage online.

Let's just say that addictive computer games and cooking do NOT go well together.

I suppose this isn't that uncommon, but I always got a sick thrill out of people who would come in, complain about my prices, accuse me of gouging players, wouldn't listen to the explanation about resource costs, overhead, etc, and storm out, only to get a bunch of "item sold" emails later with that player's name in it.


Before the galactic search went live, I was pretty sure I was one of the cheaper chefs on my server (I kept costs down by harvesting my own resources, getting good deals from scouts/rangers for meat, etc).After it went live I was even more sure.

you actually let them in? if they whine, they get booted out of my shop. some of them will then brag that they still have the vendor UI open and can buy stuff, or threaten to delete whatever they just bought.

... I'm also fond of booting anyone that that pisses me off. it's entertaining

i made a rodian vendor once that ended up looking *very* much like a friend of mine except taller. right down to the green mohawk! of course since i had to name it before i saw it i didn't get a chance to name it after my friend but i did keep it on display for a while with a sign next to it with his name.
