Okay... I'm tired of the constant restocking, but I want to make a unique, cool tailor shop... sooo
I'm going to sell "star wars" themed clothes in baggies, and that is IT. Each baggie will cost 25k, for ease of administration. I was going to just put the samples up on the wall, but I thought of a better idea. I'm going to use all 12 master merchant vendors, and dress each vendor in an outfit. I figure that it's unlikely that I will be selling more than 12 outfits (that would be way too much effort) and they can always be rotated around, if I want to swap out a Han vendor for a Darth Maul vendor, for example.
Any thoughts?

Just 1 thought.
You can only use 11 themed vendors. You of all people should know that each Tailor shop must still have the COMPULSORY
HAWTPANT VENDOR !!!!!
Sorry boss, couldnt resist

Oh good point. Well as of now, I only have 10 outfits that I want to display. I figure they have to be outfits that people actually want to wear, so Luke's glamourous Epi 1 medal scene outfit (with the banana-colored jacket) is not going to appear in the selection. Also, outfits that can't be approximated well in-game are just being ditched, like Luke's epi 1 tunic. I'm purposely staying away from one-piece outfits - how hard is it to get the luxurious gown in black?
So far:
1. Leia Slave outfit (duh)
2. Han (with the vest)
3. Aayla Secura (bit char but cool duds)
4. Ben Kenobi (young and old, but really, all you need to swap for that is the cloak and the pants so I figure I'll just put it all in the pack)
5. Aura Sing (another bit char but.. nice outfit!)
6. Padme's White Arena Outfit (the getup she wore in epi 1, well it's just bulky and ugly)
7. Anakin's Padawan outfit
8. Darth Maul (can u make me look like Darth Mall?)
9. Rebel uniform (Crix Madine)
10. Imp uniform (probably will offer in black and gray)

as Njessi starts the fad we all become afraid of, looking like Star Wars chars while playing a SW themed game
OMG we're all gonna go broke trying to keep up ![]()
actually I am all for it N'j, I for one know how well packs sell, but would recommend waiting until after we can pull from crates to do the full switch

Keeping that in mind... I haven't listed my vendors, nor will I until I have a little more free time on my hands. The bar is in a week...

Truth be told I have been doing that on one of my vendors on the Wanderhome server and have had great success
go for it you will be happy you did. Now once my factories start working properly I would not have to do this by hand 
Anyway the masses love them.......... good luck

That is strange. I thought for sure that people would say "a black lux gown? I can get that anywhere!"

i posted about this a few weeks ago here.
My vendor selling "J-E-D-I Apparel" sells out every night (I only have 5 outfits on there at a time.. trying to keep up!)
I sell "Classic Jedi" and "Dark Jedi". I made the dark jedi one up myself and I like it a lot 
I sell them in packs the page names are "Dark Jedi - 5 Items (Hood Up)" so they know how many items and they know which way the hood is.
I sold them for 22k each, but because I keep selling out to fast I am chaning my prices to 32k. We will see how that went when i get home.
I also sell pilots outfits, cold weather jacket in gray/black. Nice slacks with the gray and then black belt, longsleeve t-shirt in white, and then a large gemstone necklace. I also do a variation with a pilots jacket, and I also do an all white version with the cold weather jacket I call my "Hoth" version of a pilots outfit 
I had some crazy dude come by ALL my packs, i think he was reselling. Easy 200k

Do you have models up in your store, or do the jedi just buy them sight-unseen?

I am 1.5 boxes away from dressing my vendors 
Right now I have the dark jedi outfit next to the vendor, but believe it or not its not labeled, so I assume people realize this is the dark one?? lol so i was very suprised they sold so well.. i am thinking of putting up the classic next to it as well, but the classics sell the most, without any example o.O amazing huh?
