You can sell to a merchant and then they turn around and sell the item for a price of their choice. I'd recommend setting up a sort of partnership where you supply them with the stuff and they sell it. Just go to their vendor and offer the items.

I can not sell you a vendor.. You can OFFER your goods for sale to a vendor. How that works is that you OFFER them at a price, the merchant sees your offer, and if the price is good, we accept, that means we buy it from you, you get your money right now. We then have to them beable to sell it for a profit, or we eat it.


It is not what I think is idea, I want to see a way of allowing people to sell in my vendors, and if it sells, they get the money, and the owner of the vendor gets a % of the money, that we set. Yet another way for us to fund us.

Marquie,


If they did that there would be even less work involved in being a merchant. Merchants could just set up a vendor and that's it. The way it is now we have to go out and make contacts, setup deals, and arrange contracts. I like it way better like this than having an NPC vendor do all the work for me.


And yes, you could sell a vendor to someone... it just depends on how you look at it. Why not RENT a vendor to a crafter? You set up the vendor for him/her, and all you have to do for that crafter is visit their house once a day/once a week (whatever) and transfer the products they offer to the sales section. Or make it a one time deal (it's still selling the vendor, it's just not server organized).


As merchants we have to be creative in making our money, we can't expect the game to be set up to do it for us, and hold our hands as we collect money. The same goes for warriors and such, I can see why they're getting bored with the missions, but the game isn't intended to be only missions... get creative. Roleplay, make your own missions, have fun.
