Tailor Archive

I'm actually dropping my tailor for just this reason. It's just way too big of an annoyance. I would like to be a casual tailor with lots of items on my vendors by limiting sales by not advertising. Then I would only have to restock every now and then. As it is now... I dread logging in on those 7th days -- i usually don't. Who knows how many items I've had delete after the 72 hours.

Tell me all about it! I used to have 3 vendors stocked with more than 600 items total and I try to have lots of creative colors and ensembles so people can get something unique. Nowadays, I just can't stand it anymore. Creative clothes don't sell, period. Well, maybe they do, but not after they sit on the vendor for 3 weeks.

So now each of my vendors have 50-80 pieces of popular items which I know will sell. I know I'm probably creating fashion clones, but I already have a bald patch from pulling out my hair in frustration every time my email starts spamming me with "Unsuccessfull Auction".

No crap! MY stuff for sale in MY shop shouldnt go off sale. That is F'n ridiculous.

Just spent 3 hours withdrawing and putting back on sale some of the stuff that is going to be withdrawn tomorrow anyway, I prolly did less than half of it

Sigh

I forget whoever it was that said 7 on sale and 7 in stockroom. But that's wrong, all the items go poof after 3-4 days in stockroom (or sooner). Lost 4 vendors full of stuff that way while I was on a 11 day vacation *sigh*.

And I totally agree with what someone else said, it's MY vendor, I PAY for the blasted vendor, so why should things go OFF sale after 7 days? Silliness.

It's 72 hours in the stockroom.

I 100% hate the 7 Day Rule, as well. I hate repricing (no matter how careful you are, this increases the chance of a price typo), I hate the email spam (it never fails that I accidentally delete an email that I wanted to keep in my flurry of deleting "blah blah has not been purchased"), and I hate coming home to hours of restocking a vendor which takes away from time I wanted to spend doing other things (or doing things like checking harvesters, which I didn't really want to do, but then neither do I want them torot).

Having said that, I've read a little about the whole 7 Day Rule, and it seems it's a sort of "fix" for the whole unlimited storage problem. Well, I can understand that I suppose, and I'm really trying to, really I am, but I don'tthink it fixes anything. It's perhaps a small deterrent, at best.Small deterrent to people who use vendors as personal warehouses and price everything at 1 million credits each since there's no vendor charge on NPC's for doing this, and who it takes 5 minutes to put everything they are storing back up for sale since it all goes back up at the same price. Crafters just don't have that luxury. The 7 Day Rule is a large deterrent for tailors and any other crafter plagued by this problem, due to the huge inventories carried. When was the last time you visited a crafter's vendor where everything was all the same price?
