What types of Merchants are you placing?
I am Master Artisan / Master Weaponsmith / Master Merchant / Architect dabbler...
I will have the following
Melee Weapons
Ranged Weapons
Powerups (Ranged and Melee)
Pre-Sliced Weapons (in a random tent somewhere)
D'Tox drop off
1 credit vendor (for my guildmates)
Swoops and Speeders
Munitions
With 4 remaining (don't use Architect for business, more for personal furniture & deeds) I have no idea what else to plop down Vendor wise.
Maybe a Resource vendor. Or a Crafting tool vendor...Or maybe open up shop elsewhere and diversify...
Thoughts my fellow smiths

more Storage.
What can I say, I'm more of a guild/private smith who has entirely too much **edit**.

1 storage
maybe a loot vendor
may split my sliced standards from my sliced enhanced
hmmm all in all I think i got alot more options now 
never was into mass prodution/1000+weaps per vendor so the cap wont really effect me and the extra spots give me some more options

I am currently 4040 Artisan, Master Weaponsmith, 4404 Merchant, and working up to Master Swordsman. I keep at least one master combat profession at all times (b/c my alts are a Jedi and a buffbot, and I need some variety =).
My level of merchant should still allow me to maintain the stock and storage I currently have. I'm planning on:
- Melee vendor
- Ranged vendor
- Bargain bin vendor (older models and prototypes)
- Weapons by the crate (I have great success selling PHs, VKs, and gaffis this way for starters, and will probably expand what I stock in crates)
- Storage
The storage vendor mainly holds my krayt tissue and other enhancers; I have a bunch of small houses maintained through lot swaps for the rest of my storage.

Hmm..I didn't this of a certain vendor for weapons by the crate. I have done well selling hammers and swords by the crate. But one vendor to house all crates...simply brilliant!

That's the idea, D'Tox. I store all my crates on a vendor now, I figure this way, if someone really wants a crate of scatters, they can buy one. Then, when I need to re-stock my vendor, I've probably got crates right there I can just de-list and bust open and throw on the appropriate vendor as singles for sale.
I will not likely stock T21s by the crate, as they are far too much hassle to do. But just about everything else I probably will, as they can be made in decent quantities.

I am (Master) Artisan / Merchant / Weaponsmith.
I was Tailor, and would have dropped Merchant so I could be tailot & WS, but with the vendor nerf, I'm sticking with Merchant

My main toon is a Smuggler....but liked crafting, but not crafting with my combat toon. So 6 months ago got a second account for Weaponsmith. I have reframed from using vendors as storage, till today.
My Smuggler has 1 large house (250 items + my WS vendors)
Also Smuggler has 1 medium house (150 items)
Also Smuggler has 2 factories
My WS has 1 factory
and 1 merchant tent (for guildies on Tat)
and 8 harvesters
Vendors-1 in merchant tent for guildies
-1 for weapons
-1 for pwrups
-1 for vehicles and kits etc.
-1 for smuggler tools
-1 for resources and harvesters
And now-1 Storage, as to the fact that I had finally maxed out storage.

Interesting...I had two adv. orders for crates of T21's last night. Hmm..we'll see what the fish can do tonight...
After a little resource shopping last night, I should start my T21's tonight..nervous, cause the last T21 I had sold for over 2 million (Pre-nerf)

T21s aren't HARD, per se, they're just a hassle. Massively time consuming, massive resource consumption. A run of 99 rifles takes like 4 days. I can sell through that in a few days sometimes, depending on traffic. I keep my stocked T21s priced at what I consider to be outrageously high (75k each) simply because I hate making them... and they still sell.
I suppose I could break the crates up into 5 rifles each or something. That might be a respectable way to allow people to buy T21s in bulk without killing myself making them.

Workshop (medium Tatooine house, Tatooine)
Modifications Vendor (sliced and looted enhanced builds)
Home Operation (Tatooine PA Hall, Tatooine)
Rifles and Carbines
Sidearms and Heavy Weapons
Close Combat (melee)
Grenades and Powerups
Thinking of opening a second branch in a large trading city on Theed, same break down as Home Operation.
Might think about opening crate sales and powerups.
What I'd like to know is what is EXACTLY meant by 'untouched' vendors being deleted after 2 weeks. If it means 2 weeks since anyone touched it, fine - if it's only if the owner touches it, then there's a big, big problem.
