Merchant Archive

So I decide to setup shop. I build a house and a vendor and I stock it with items. Around 100 at first, but I am hoping to have thousands at some point. Everything from fishing supplies to weapons. Call it the Walmart of Tatooine.

After about a week I've made a total of 5 sales for less than 100 credits. No problem, I'm still doing a good volume on the bazaar so I am willing to eat the costs of maintaining a vendor and a house while my business is growing. Then it happens. My oldest items start dropping off my vendor sales and into my stockroom. I look at the details of some of my items and find there is a time-limit.

What?!? A time-limit??? Why? This is my house, my vendor, my items and I am paying the maintenance. Why is there a time-limit? Now this really sucks. And it explains why everytime I visit a vendor there are only a have a dozen items really high-priced items. So, I go through all this trouble to setup shop and I am spending 1000's of credits to get this thing off the ground and now I am going to have to spend countless hours trying to keep my vendor stocked at all times. Starting to sound like a job and not a game. Forget it.

Private vendors are meant for low number, high-priced items and uber-merchants. Or people who think managing a vendor is more fun than taking over Fort Tusken.

Merchant - what's the point?!?!
