Are NPC Vendors still broken for selling resources?

All reports that I have seen say they are working fine for resources now. I don't have any trouble with them, but I don't sell many resources on my vendors.

I can confirm that the NPC vendors are safe for resources now. However, when splitting stacks of resources, let them sit in your inventory until the mouse-over on the original stack reads the correct amount - just to be safe. For me on Bloodfin, this can take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes.

After losing a half a million resources to this bug and SOE's penchant for bringing back old bugs.. I have great trepidations about ever trying it again.

I was hesitant myself, but with many MANY customers over two weeks, I haven't had a single complaint. I'd say they are nowas reliable as anything else in this game.

Does closing and then reopening your inventory work the same way?

I sell power on eclipse. I FREQUENTLY split stacks of 100k into smaller stacks and immediately transfer them to the vendor. I have experienced no problems with selling off of NPC vendors now. (maintainence is like 1 cr/day)

If you sell off of terminal vendors, expecrt exorbitant maintenance fees... I was paying 5k day/maint before they fixed the resource bug, which meant that i could only sell on terminal vendors at the time because the NPC's were to dumb to count how much stock they gave a buyer.

If you right click or examine on the 'mother' item you can see the amount change from the original amount to the corrected amount. Once you have done this the mouse-over amount is corrected as well.

However, with the bulk of resources that I sell, I can't depend on any work-around. I use a travel-terminal and while it charges me a ton I haven't had any real issues with it.

Except..of course..it ejectsunsold itemsevery 7 days...

I've been selling resources from NPC vendors for a while with no issues.

I've sold over 1 million resources in the last 2 weeks. All in chunks of 20k, split down from 100k chunks. I've never waited 5-20 minutes or anything like that. I haven't had any customer complaints yet, and with them spending 50k per purchase minimum, I would think they would scream if they had problems. So I suspect that everything is working fine with NPC vendor resource sales.
