I hate it when I log in and see that I have tons of new email and then realize that most of them are "Auction Unsuccessful" mails. 
Don't even get me started on the ones that get generated when *I* remove the item from sale.

HOw about greater sort function, and by this i mean,, 2 catagorys are bad
First resources.. this is awefull.
they should atleast be by type under mineral, copper, steel, iron, gems, ore atleast. this would make searching for what you want on 10+ pages much easier..
second, crates
i have a crate vendor and with 1000's of crates its really hard to sort,, how about some catagories, not sure what, but crates by class , like WS, droid, artisan, armorer, tailor, chef, tailor, medic, scout, smuggler, be would atleast be a great start.. this wouldnt solve the problem but it would make sorting a lot lot easier.. even a seperate power up, and BH droid added onto this would be great.. you would still ahve to sort but it would be a lot easier.

I agree, great proposal.
I also feel there is no need to search prices, just to see prices next to the items that are found. In my experience you won't filter out 'noob' items as the pricing is all over the place.
Presumably the search engine will look for the item type rather than the player input name?. There are a lot ofitems around called 'mega-giga-uber' by the crafter instead of the proper names.
If we are adding a search function to our vendors, it would be really helpful tocapture what players are looking for when they visit.

Exellent proposal.
These are the things that will really make Merchants happy. I know you really want a consignment system(and to an extent I agree with you), but keeping that for a later proposal really shows us that our agenda....is your agenda. Two thumbs up for Doc. Exellent work.

Please just do away with the restocking it makes no sense anyway now that vendors have item limits. The ones that leave the game or dont pay maintenance will eventually dissapear anyhow.
I spend at least 1 whole day a week restocking and nothing else. What a pain and for no reason that i can see. I also agree that empty vendors should automatically be taken off the world map and marked as empty. Nothing worse than traveling for 10 minutes and finding an empty vendor.
I have 12 vendors on 3 accounts and all the restocking is making me think of changing professions.

Now there is a great idea i spend way too much of my game time restocking venders i have 4 acct getting a 5th fraggen back order 2 weeks then 2 week for shiping thats a whole month about as slow as it takes to restock 250 items sigh
Great idea pal
Also could we umm jeee i dont know little bug here i pay ooo 35k maint to a vender at 77% condition so about 1k credits and it doesnt repair its self Fix this too while your at it ;cracks whip; Well get on it Sigh soo hard to get what you pay for these days
I would also like to reinstate the Multie Item selling for crates may be a drag n drop box were you drag in to items or better yet add a tab when clicking on the item as place in vender Box and then you can set a price grven for each item Grated thats still alot ofclicking but still saving alot of time also with drawing sells umm how about o lets see here a draging down high lighting effect that with draws all sells like that or ya click on the items you want to with draw and theres a tab that comes up with a select for Withdraw Button these are simple things that save time so i can log on my other acct and go gather resource. ya sady alot of the games population is us crazy who love Hate and love again this Game SWG think i am here for the long haul so i am gona bunker down take my shoes of and clean my T21 as you sleep peace and good luck out there people.

There is two things that we do need.
A) Been able to look inside bags and contaniers to see what is inside them before we buy them off a vendor. It would be great for customers in giving them the abilty to see goods before they buy a bag.
B) A simple button to reject offers that have been placed on your vendors. Once rejected the person who placed the offer will get a email to tell them to collect it with in a time period and then if they dont collect it will get deleted.

few ideas to throw in the pot
- Communal store room. All vendors share 1 store room. As a Merchant you place all your items into said storeroom through one of your vendors and poof it is up for sale on all your vendors where ever they are. (Recommend this be a Master Merchant Perk) Other wise thise becomes a 3000+ personal bank. Accessable anywhere.
- NPC Marketplace. Seperate areas for seperate crafts. In addition a Junk area for all loot vendors or multiple craft vendors, And a seperate secondary market stall. The secondary market would include sub-items for finished products. I suggest it seperate to encourage specialization of crafting.
- Also only allow 1 vendor per person per market place. So you could have a Weapon vendor in coronet, and a junk vendor in theed but not both in the same city.
- Have vendors keep their sales revenue untill it's picked up. Or allow vendors to pull from the bank when they are out of funds.
- Sample a suggested retail price. Where you could query the entire game market for the average price for the item you are placing on your vendor. This would be an invaluable tool. Which would allow merchants to place their products at "reasonable" prices if they choose to, without having to check out every single vendor everywhere.

Great Idea about re-selling multiple items at the last re-sale price. Just spent the last 2.5 hours re-stocking the vendors because of the current process. I dont like having to spend this much time restocking when a simple solution is available.

I agree with that.
I would also like to be able to grab a group of items and tell it to list at such and such a price. that way i can put 20 black hats on the vendor in one shot instead of 1 at a time.
other things i would like.
1. merge vendors
2. allow to give admin access to someone to help you manage vendor and sell items on it.
3. quickly move items from vendor A -> vendor B.. etc..
4.Move vendor to new location without having to redo all the stock in it.(packup and move)
5. Ability to do vendor wide price increases or drops, percentage based or even credit amount based.
6. setup vendor sales.50% off sale runs for 5 days or something to that effect. set percentage and how many days.
7. change name of vendor.
8. select a range of items in stock room and hit a button to put back on vendor at last price listed.
i really dont know why there is a limit of days. I run a store for real and i may have items in here that haven't sold for over 3 years. (they dont end up in my stockroom) usually i put on sale.
i know much of these have been posted. but im just throwing my vote in on what i'd like to see.
