Hi all,
I suppose you could consider thisa 'testing the water' type thread. I have noticed more and more people stating that they are willing to re-sell products for people who are unable to obtain a 'legitimate' vendor keeping in line with the possible changes to the system. So without further ado, here goes.
It's not pretty, might need more fields or changing in its entirety but it's worth a shot. Feedback and thoughts appreciated, I know the best place for this kind of thing would be trade/galaxy boards but alot of pro boards do a 'who's who' list..
Namein Game : Hoz

We can arrange price breaks if you are starting out and if you are hiring a vendor I will create the type you want,register it on the planetary map, place any clothing you would like on the vendor, and also make sure that items are kept stocked and the vendor itself maintained.. I will not ask for a contribution to the vendor maintenance, so if you sell nothing, you pay me nothing. Positions in the tents are not currently limited andthere will be no charge for you adding your vendor in to the exsisting tents at this time.

Only thing I would suggest is making the title a bit more eye catching. maybe something like.. "Need a merchant? LOOK HERE!!" Then just need to get doc or someone to make it a sticky.

Good point, and thanks for the suggestion. 
Hopefully people will post here eventually and we can compile a list of who's who in the merchant profession. I'll keep this bumped up a while and see what the response is like. If there's not much initially I might take it, compile it and add it to a new thread..

/bump. come on. this is a good topic and should be used. How many merchants out there have argued against me and p4samwise and the others? saying that they are 'true' merchants and all that... well here is your chance to prove it.
I expected at least to see the entire vendor poaching preaching team.. but so far I have only seen Songe and Bountyblunter, neither of which have room for anyone else. Hell, even if you don't have 'room', it still wouldn't hurt to post here to say you are a merchant, what server you are on, and if you are open for business opportunities.

Ok allow me to reiterate my main point, and clairify a few of my thoughts.
First off someone complained about me bringing this thread up in the Merchant forum, and called my thickheaded. I just thought "what a better place to bring up an issue about merchant." Was I wrong?
Next someone else complained that Doctors and CM's and BE's would feel left out if they weren't able to have vendors. My answer is this. First off Bio-Engineers are elite crafters as I see itso they would be included in the professions that would be allowed these skills. Second Doctors, like every other non-crafting profession do not need to sell their crafted products to make a living, doctors can sell buffs, heals, etc. They don't NEED to sell their buff/stim packs to make a profit. Architects, DEs, Tailors, BEs, etc DO. Third Combat Medics are rarely JUST combat medics, they tend to have an elite combat profession which garners them large profits with high paying missions in money groups etc.
Allow me to once again stat that my feelings are that ALL crafters (ie; any profession that relies on making money through the creation of specific products) should be given the Merchant skills and for all purposes be master merchants when they reach the mastery of their said crafting profession. All professionsshould be able to make money as efficiently and near the same amounts as elite combat professions,using about the same amount of skill points.
Ifallowing individual admin rights to vendors would pose too great a challenge and too much effortfor non-crafters perhaps a version of the merchant profession could remain in play, butmake those non-crafters use up skill points, not us crafters who NEED the advertisment, and vendors to make money.
I don't have anything against doctors or combat professionals Ijust think that their want for a vendorto sell loot and medpacks, when they have several other means of making money, shouldn't take precedence over our need for vendorsto keep money coming in.

I think its the right thread as it proofs that it doesn't work. Because most merchants are selling their own stuff.
