Thread: Specialty Orders...

I made a post there, so I won't bother repeating myself, but I'm surprised this isn't a mentioned issue, though understandable if y'all have more pressing issues for your top 5.

The answer is obviously personalized sales. But until such time as we can get those: Don't put items on a vendor open to everyone and hope everyone is nice about it. The CSR's can't help you because they didn't do anything "illegal" they bought something up for sale on a public vendor. I agree that it is not a nice thing to do but some people aren't going to be nice about this practice.
There are ways to do this in a more safe manner. The easiest is to create a specific strucutre for your directed sales and put a very high entry fee on the stucture. Then put those people who have items on the vendor in the entry list so they don't have to pay the fee.
I am sure others have ideas as well. Someone somewhere mentioned putting up 2 or three sales that are nearly the same but have a code number. You give the code number to the right person. The other items are just junk (for the same price) that if they are bought will teach someone a lesson about trying to get away with something.
The personalized sales is something that has come up before. My recollection is that the devs are open to doing that but just haven't gotten it done yet.

I'm not a merchant, yet anyways... so I'll take your word for it... gotta clarify tho, if I were to put a vendor as public so I can have a merchant in it, and set the entry fee to 10 million... the entry list on the structure prevents those people from having to pay the fee? I plan on gettinga 2nd account whenever I am done with holos and get back into the Doc buisness... this will be *extremly* helpful, as I find myself often doing specialty orders for people who need big heals [Stim Ds and Es].
Thanks for the reply, and thanks in advance if you reply again. 
I don't think you can put it as high as 10million any more but yes anyone named by name in the entry list is excluded from paying the entry fee.
