If you constantly have to restock the same items over and over again, you either sell them too expensive or sell too much of them or sell stuff people don't want IMHO. Restocking a product once or twice, yes, but more then that ?
A restock button would be nice, yes. But if you got to restock too much, something is wrong with your business.
And IMHO they made the restock 30 days, because else you could restock, cancel your account, come back in three months, restock, cancel your account,...

Not true Yogol. I restock items over and over simply because I have so many in stock. Its easier for me to do a large factory run of BH droids and list them all for sale instead of storing them. I also have a huge variety of items, many of which have low turnover but sell steadily.
Let's not forget sale spurts. I can go5 weeks without a sale only to be cleaned out in 2 days of madness. If I didn't have a big stock, I'd loose sales.
I'd rather have to do long restocking than be known as someone with empty vendors, which is why an easier way to restock is needed.

My alt is a Master Artisan/Master Merchant who runs the shop, so /sign.
I hate having to restock 300 items or more in one sitting.

You might want to keep a vendor stocked with even those items that are not sold very often.

I agree, I want a restock button that allows me to select many Items at once and sell them for a price (I select all items I want to sell at 1000 credits - WHANG! and done)
as opposed to what happens now:
250 items come of sale.
I open the stockroom and pick them up.
I click sell items
I click the item and input the price (being clever I have picked all the items I want to sell at 1k cr)
I click return.
I click the next one and hit return.
at this point the flashing screen starts to give me a headache.
Pick up all items in stockroom
etc etc etc.
BY item 75 I have a blinding headache from the screenflash.
GO AND LIE DOWN CRYING WITH PAIN FOR 4 HOURS AND TAKE PAINKILLERS.
log computer off and say I'll try tomorrow
...
don't forget if you do have the patience to sit there and restock repeatedly, and your character just stands there for too long without moving ... the retarded game flags you as inactive and logs you out even though you've been relisting products and sending tells the entire time...
pah! (this has happened at least 3x this week and is getting infuriating ... repricing things in order to empty vendors ...)

Holy crap, my thread lives.
I have a really big stock, and I don't spam so I don't get much advertisement beyond word of mouth and the overhead map, so I always have stuff that carries over. If I get tired of it I cut the price drastically and bazaar it, put it on my Bargain Bin vendor, auction a lot on the boards, or just give it away or destroy it.
I have sooooooooooooooo much stuff. :X
