My partners and I are changing locations this week, and I have half a dozen vendors with about a thousand items to move to the larger premises. I have three vendor slots I'm not using at the moment, so I can set up a vendor in the new place, run back and forth setting up items and such, and take down the old vendor when I'm done.
Seems like a lot of legwork, and I thought I'd toss a line in the pool of knowledge and see if anyone has some ideas for making this process more efficient. Anyone?

I've had to move a number of times.....to different planets. Unless you are in the same region, the best way to do it is completely empty your inventory and backpack. This will give you enough room for over 100 items at a time. If you are in the same region though. Just cancel your auctions, then from your new vendor retreive them. Make sure you retrieve them from though. If you sell them fromyour stock room they will go back up for sale on the old vendor again. You can also have a few trusted friends travel with you as extra backpacks. But no matter how you look at it, moving as a merchant sucks.

Moving amassive inventory is never fun. Couple of things...
- Remember you can have up to 5 droids in your datapad. If you're not already full, buy as many 10-item storage droids (most DEs will make cheap versions, like MSE, if that's all you're gonna use it for). If you have no droids in your datapad, that's a potential 50 more items moved per trip.
- You'll need to leave one open slot from your 60-item inventory. Otherwise, if you're buying a travel ticket, you won't have room for it.
- As was stated above... totally empty your backpack and inventory and you'll be able to hold 109 items in them per trip (60 inventory + 50 backpack - 1 for ticket). More if you have storage droids.

Thanks for the tips.
All my vendors were in the same region, so I was just able to, from the new vendor, withdraw the sale, pull the item from the stock room, and put it up for sale on the new vendor. It was virtually painless. 
I can see that if you are moving to another plant, then it would be a HUGE issue. I was just moving about 100m, so it turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.
