Okay. So we merchants can have multiple vendors. Cool. (or not?)

The possibilities for this include:

1) You can have multiple vendors in a single structure that you own. This, in my opinion, is not so useful. Sure you can have a vendor each for different types of items, but it's overkill, as a single vendor can show any item you have for sale, anywhere. Plus it may be confusing when Anynamebacca buys his wookie gear from the wrong vendor, and can't figure out that he must retrieve it from the one right next to it.

2) You can have a vendor in each of the structures that you own. But I don't want multiple structures. That takes up available lots.

3) You (*perhaps*) can place a vendor in someone else's structure, given certain permission. Now THIS is interesting. I could drop one in a friend's place (whohas a big customer base)and another's, and another's....

This third possibility is something that I can't figureout, however. I tried it with a friend who gave me admin, vendor, entry, etc permission for his house. It would not let me drop the vendor from my inventory into his house. Fair enough. So I give the vendor to my friend. He cannot drop it either, and it's HIS house. (Max volume investigated and foundNOT to be the issue here).

I've heardstories ofpeople placing vendors in structures they do not own (especially in guild halls, where each of the members might have a vendor).

So tell me, fellow merchants, can this be done? If so, how? If not, what's so good about having multiple vendors?

TIA

Make a terminal. Not a NPC vendor or a droid. Both of those seem to get bugged when traded. Then give the terminal vendor to your buddy. Have him place it for you. You initlize it and use it like normal. I got 5 or 6 other ppls vendors in my place.

Sweet!

Can anybody else confirm the droid machine thing works. I am out of slots because I have to run all my groups buildings currently to provide them a vendor.

So only the big ugly vending machine works for this workaround? I tried giving my wife an NPC vendor I made for her house last night as a workaround, and got an error message when we tried using the trade window.

I believe droids *may* work I haven't tested droids. I did test NPC's and after 4 tries all failed while terminals worked 100%. I'll play with droids tonight and see if their bugged as well.

You know the workaround to get rid of the npc vendor your wife has stuck on her? Have her sell it to you in another vendor for 1 credit. Buy it then drop it and remove it. Too many bugs in this profession. Hopefully we can fix them

Droids work, at least the GONK power droid.

Thanks, Xcal78! I will try that immediately! Brilliant!

Ah, I have confirmed that once someone else has your NPC vendor (and they cannot drop or destroy it), that person can return it to you (then you can destroy it, or whatever) by selling it back to you through one of your other vendors.

Ok. Gave my wife the "Standard" vendor machine and she was able to drop it in her house and we went forward from there. Droid and NPC would not work, but the machine did.

as you move up yu can get nicer looking terminals than the bulky one, such as the standard bazaar terminal.

Now I did the same thing and gave the NPC vendor to friend to drop. He couldn't drop it, but now he can't delete or trade it back to me. SO now one of my vendors is just sitting in his inventory? How am I suppose to fix that?!
Sucks to be me.

Anyone tried placing the vendor that looks like the Bazaar terminal in someone else's house?

I got about 7 or 8 bazaar terminal vendors in my place. Only 3 are mine.
