* sigh *
You know .. I might have done this once or twice in my life but usually when I go to a forum I haven't visited with a question I scope out the most recent topics and see if any of them apply..I've done this recently with both the Droid Engineer and Bio-Engineer forums because I created characters with those professions and wanted to see what was going on. Generally I found the answer to my question without having to ask it because someone had already asked the same question.
In this case the question is asked an answered in at least 4 topics on the first page:
Nothing happens at present when you drop the skill. Something will happen soon because they are changing it so that you can't keep using vendors if you don't maintain the "Manage Vendor Skill" high enough for the number of vendors you currnetly have.

My point exactly. Merchants who remove their skills and not their vendors end up like "Imperial officer #23" who all get blown up in the Death Star. It's the "unnamed red shirted security officer" syndrom from Star Trek all over again.

If you get rid of merchant and artisan what happens to your vendors? Do they disappear? Just want to know if i need to get all my stuff out of the vendor.

Yes, the poof and you lose everything in the vendors without notice or anything. Very bad.

Well, from what I have seen and read your vendors will remain, stuff on them to. Only thing is, once your auction ends and your item/s are moved to the stockroom, you have 7days until said items are deleted from the game, without notice unless they are re-sold / put up for sale again.Would not recomend using this dropping skills / vendor bug as it is not fair on the merchants who have spent thier sp's to get vendors.

You get to become the biggest loser on these boards if you dont destroy the vendors when you lose the skills. I'm trusting you on this.
Don't exploit my profession.

YAY 1 stars! I feel loved!
Would it really be so *edit*ing difficult for people to read the 100 other threads on the first two pages with the same question before asking it again? I'm willing to bet most of the people who come in here and ask this question and disappear are just doing ti to get a rise otu of the merchants here who feel so strongly about this issue. I'm sure I'm not the only person sick of answering this question 10 times a day.

Not replying to them at all or just posting a standardised "read the stickies" post would properly be the best way to handle them. Though I must say deliberate speeding misinformation is very tempting at times.

1. Sell quality merchandise - This encourages people to shop at your store, and come back for more.
2. Good shop location - This gets people to your door in the first place. Find a location either near a busy Non-player cityor close to a shuttle port in a player city.
3. Advertise -Get the word out about what you sell. Advertise on your galaxy's bazaar. Maybe set up an advertising droid near the closest starport.
It worked for me!
