Just want to clarify something I read in the sticky before I decide where to add vendors. It says you get 50xp per refresh (with a 10 minute timer) per person and that multiuple vendors dont add. Does this mean if I put 3 vendors in one tent (one for food, one for drink, and one for misc) that even if one person checks out all thee vendors, I only get 50xp?

that is correct, if i walk into your vendor and look at all three within 10 min, you only get 50xp.
But the good news is you are getting xp from each vendor becuase you have them set up.

Thanks for the clarification...now...do you feel its better to have all your vendors in one spot? or spread them out over multiple cities/planets?

Factol_Pentar is right on. You only get browse experience once per 10 minutes per customer, but if your goal is to gain experience, you are going to want to have as many vendors placed as you can. At Management IV, you can have 6 vendors at 150xp eachper hour, or 900 xp/hour.

Well, depends on if you have enough stock
If you have enough i would suggest 2 or 3 planets outside major starports.
2 Vendors in Each Tent.
The one thing i have heard is is you don't have stock, they will not come back.
Or if you know someone who is already established, and who does not sell your same product place a Tent close to theirs to glean their traffic, but if you take their business they being more established have a good chance of ruining you by word of mouth.
