Merchant Archive

I have two vendors, one for the global public, and now one for my PA mates.

The idea was to put cheaper stuff in the PA Mate one, make my house private, and all would be good. But I found out that I can't make the building private if it has a vendor inside.

So two questions

A) Any idea why this mechanic is in there ? What's wrong with private vendors ?

B) More importantly (I'm a n00b merchant) can you guys tell me how you handle this kind of issue ?

they dont want you using your merchants for a private storage facility so no private merchants as best as I can tell.

If you have room in your shop, what I did was give my PA admin access to my house and place a bag in my house labelled take what you need and they just come get what they want.

Yeah, but i can just price stuff way out of the league of people, so there is nothing stopping me from doing that.

I mean surely a game with a smuggler class would want to have 'elite clients' and stuff ?

And I dont want to put a free pack for a number of reasons, I don't have to justify them, but I will

A) I can't afford to let my entire PA just take 50 stims each, not yet anyway.

B) I dont get merchant xp from them

Thanks for your help though, didn't mean to sound ungreatful.

understand entirely...that was just the solution that worked for me personally. I think this is something we all would like to see made a little different..being able to have sales for specific people, or PAs seems to be a pretty common request...and lets face it..it just makes sense lol

Sorry about the blank post. Not sure what happened there.

Anyway, what I found helpful was to set a ridiculously high entrance fee, like 1000,000,000 and then add all my PA members to my Entry List. That way, they can get in to purchase stuff from my vendor, and nobody else bothers to try because of the entrance fee.

Oh I didn't know that people on my entry list didn't pay the cost, if that's the case then yes, that will solve my problem, thanks a lot !

oooh brilliant idea!

**edit**ING BRILANT! you have solved my problems!

Another reason was people were buying stuff from vendors over the bazaar, paid the money and couldn't reach the vendor to pick up the merchandise because it was locked in a private house.

How do you buy stuff from vendors over the bazaar?

You can't any more, they took that out a while ago.

Instead of adding guild members to entry list individually, you can just put "guild:name" on entry list where name is the guild's tag, e.g. guild:goon.
