I really really hope not. First I've seen of it so far.

Ive heard mixed reports of various disappearing items again... looks like it wasnt fixed.

I just checked my vendors and I have items that have been on sale for more than 14 days. So lets try to get as much information as possible since it isn't as universal as it was before. Anyone who has items that have disappeared give a little more detail.

Anyone who has items that have been on sale for more than 14 days lets hear from you as well to see how wide spread this issue is.

let me say this is my second attempt at a vendor I lost all my items months ago -- they were not replaced so I angrilly dropped all merchant skills.

I started again after dtocking up many rare items (krayt, holos, ris components -- and going broke doing so)

If they disaear this time -- all I have to say is Hello Horizons

Well thankfully, most of my items are now down to around 15 days 8 hours, so they passed the 14 day mark and havent disappeared, looks like those who've lost items may well be suffering the 'vendor lag' bugs from server line crossing and what have you.

I encountered this bug just last night.

I have a vendor in my workshop who holds all my factory crates for me. When I'm ready to use them I 'withdraw sale' and 'retrieve item' to get the crate. Last night I discovered some of my crates came out just fine, while others vanished with the "...item no longer exists" message.

I further discovered that if I 'withdraw sale' then 'sell item' (directly from stock room), then 'withdraw sale' again, it always retrieves fine.

I believe what was going on (though I was not prepared to test it by throwing away more crates) is that crates in the vendor for more than 14 days will disappear when I try to retrieve them. By re-selling them I reset their death-timer and therefore I can withdraw them just fine.

I suspect this problem will also plague customers who attempt to buy an item that's been in your vendor more than 14 days.

If someone has an inexpensive item in one of their vendors that's over 14 days old, could you please help test my theory by withdrawing and retrieving the item? If I'm right, the item will vanish when you attempt to retrieve it. If it doesn't, then I need a new theory.

In any case, my WORKAROUND seemed to be 100% solid: WITHDRAW SALE, SELL ITEM, WITHDRAW SALE, RETRIEVE ITEM.

The "no longer exists" error is NOT related to time. I put an item on my vendor this morning. Hand another character buy it and try to retrieve it 10 minutes later and it "no longer existed" when they tried to retrieve it. I am trying to get more information on what that message actually means now.

Valuthorax - Horizons is fun I just wish it was a personalized sales effort like SWG. Everyone sharing a single consigner in each city makes things MUCH more cutthroat. It basically elminates the ability to make a sale if you are not THE lowest price at any given moment in an entire city. To the main topic I have 6 vendors and have yet to have any problems with lost items - even before the vendor hotfix. That stinks if it turns out there are still scenarios where that is going on...
