Merchant Archive

ok NOW my entire merchant-system is royally screwed.

not only did my 5 new vendorsbreak 15 min after i made them and was putting items onto them... now i can still see PHANTOM ITEMS in my regional inventory...

But are they the phantom items of the items i just put onto the vendors? NOOOOOOOO that would make sense.

These are items that remained in some phantom regional-inventory WELL AFTER i had completely deleted all vendors i owned, and had my vendor count reset.

How can items exist in Regional, but NOT local inventories?

So basically i have NO proof i just lost 15 Landspeeders, and considering the last compenation i recieved (REALLY crap grinding metals) last time,i wouldnt be able to rebuild the bikes i lost if i got the materials anyways.

Are there other people playing this game in such a HORRIBLY broken state?

Seriously, this problem has completely and totally destroyed my character.

I had an established customer base, i invested a LOT of time into handpicking the materials i used to create every item individually, of not only the best quality, but VARIED qualities to provide an extensive selection for all budgets.

Now, that is all crap.

My vendors are broken again, I have less than 50,000 credits, and absolutely NO POSSIBLE WAY of moving over 75 (well 60 now thanks to this crap) vehicles, and the hoards of resources i want to sell now that i have no desire to be a crafter anymore.

How can i play this game if i cant sell the wares i craft.

This bug is a VERY LARGE SHOWSTOPPER.

Those 5 vendors were bugged within 20 minutes of my Previous ticket regarding bugged vendors was resolved.

I know...it is devastating I am sure. I had a bug early on in this game that destroyed two full vendors within 4 days. I managed to get compensated for one of them. I wish I had some magical soluton for you. I don't. I can only tell you that I would probably try another location for a bit and see if the issue stops happening. I would also tend to put less on the vendor and restock it more often until you have confidence that it isn't happening again.

Ok...

I deleted my old tent, and created a new tent on the other side of my city, about 250m away.
I created 6 new vendors, and loaded them up with 1 item each (random crap) and priced it at 999999999cr.

I went VERY slow, and did not rush them in any way, i made each one, and initialized it 3 min after i placed it, then paid maintenance 3 min after i initialized it.

I took my time making the greeting bark for my temp vendor (come back later for vehicles) at each window.


after i was finished totally about 45 min later, they were all still running, and so i logged for the night.

Hopefully when i get back on in about 10 hours they will STILL be running and i can try adding about 10 junk items to each one to see if they hold.

if they do, i will add the real stuff, and remove the junk...



I hope to god i dont lose everything this time...

If you still have phantom items in your inventory, you can remove them from sale, and they will be available in the regional stockroom.

One thing I've found out is that you can pull items out of the regional stockroom from any vendor. I had EXACTLY the same problem you had with disappearing vendors, and having ghosted items, and I found out through experimentation that this does work.

If you don't want to risk it, you can wait for a CSR to refund you the cash for the items, but they might not be too happy if you get the cash, then pull the items out.

Any vendor in that region, is what I meant to say there.

actually, lol.. what you describe works for the 'planet' option also.

my new tent is far enough away that 'regional' doesnt work, so now my phantom items are in 'planet' and 'galaxie'.

i moved them to the stockroom so they will evenetually get deleted hopefully

If you set up a vendor in the region where your items are in the stockroom, you should be able to get them out.

Like I said, this worked for me. You don't have to use the exact vendor to retrieve items from the stockroom.
