I stocked just over 2,500 stacks of resources on my 6 vendors about a month ago. I sold close to 400 stacks at a big party/tradeshow I throw, but within these next few days I'm having all 2,100 items go to the stockroom.
doh!
I know, people have had worse, but damn it all, I really don't feel like spending hours and hours restocking every month. I want a restock button!!

We all would love a restock all option 
Another nice option would be to stack all like items on one line and let the customer pick a quantity...it would also be easier on the database.....

Yes, what about an auto-restock option 
It's so damn annoying to get a million emails spamming you about unsuccessful auctions on your vendor. Pain in the ass.

Great idea,
In another post someone also suggested that the prices could uniformally increase / decrease by a user defined % when they press the button. This would be very useful for those stuck with a load of overpriced stuff to relist, or when clearing vendors with a sale.
Another way to look at it is an auto relist with a fixed small % drop. If you turn it on you accept your stock will be relisted at small % lower every 30 days but you don't have to worry about relisting anything. Sure this is a pain if you are trying to get 500k for your 'uber sliced pea shooter' but many items sit in vendors because they are overpriced.
We could 'sell' the idea to SOE in a number of ways to get it looked into:
1) Risk of RSI complaints ifthey don't address it. A game shouldn't give anyone 'sore wrists' when played normally. SWG has an excessive amount of clicking in the crafting and merchant professions.
2) No more holiday blues - away for 2 weeks, come back to thousands of items in the stock room.
3) Easier database management and less stock hanging around if we could 'withdraw all' then 'relist all' to reflect market rates.

Auto-Relist wont happen or there would be no reason for it to expire in the first place, which is to sort out inactive merchants.
I agree though that an "Relist all" button would be nice.
And you know of course, that you could manually relist part of your stuff each week, then not all of them drop out at once.

Yes, I think a "restock" button should be at the top of the list for merchant changes. I just came back from 10 days vacation and have litterally thousands of items to restock.
The worst part is that you can't sort items by their sell price or see what their sell price used to be without going to the details screen. If you could at least see the sell price on the stock list screen, you could eliminate a lot of typing by restocking all items at same price consecutively.
Please put a "restock" button as #1 priority for the merchant profession. This tedious job is rediculous and worse than grinding, and is completely unneccessary since the GUI has all the relevant info already to restock any previously listed item. A simple extra button on the stock list screen would save hours and hours of work for merchants, and not require much coding for the DEV's since all info already exists.
