I have run a few tests to see what is causing my vendors to get screwed up selling resources, as noted elsewhere on this board, the problem seems to lie with stacks of resources that have been split from their originals. Following the tests below, I have found I can only retrieve the original stack from the vendor, all others end up in limbo, the purchaser not being able to retrieve them at all.

If anyone feels up to running this set of tests to verify this is repeatable, I would be interested to see your results. It looks like a possible malfunction in some anti duping code causing this. If you don't have someone to help you, I have also run this test putting the stacks up for sale, then withdrawing the sale and trying to retrieve from the stock room.

Withdraw a stack of 300 resource from a harvester, call it stack A

Split 100 resource off into stack B, stack A should now be 200 units.

Place both Stack A and Stack B for sale on vendor.

Get a friend to purchase stack B, see if retrievable. If retrievable, check amount actually retrieved.

Get same person to purchase remaining stack A. See if retrievable, again if retrieved see how many were actually retrieved.

Repeat, this time purchasing stack A first.

Repeat only offering stack A on vendor

Repeat only offering stack B on vendor

Repeat after trading stacks to another player before placing on vendor.
