OK so I took a small hiatus when i moved house of about 2 weeks.
When i left i had 200 vk's in my 2 vendors (100 in each)
I come back and check mails to see that 1 person had bought every single vk at both vendor @ 3500 credits each.
So i make a new patch these come out at 147 max instead of 146 the old ones did so i put price upto 4000 and restock 100 into each vendor log off for the night.
Come back tomorrow and w00t he's bought every single vk again.
So i decide todo a little test i make a batch of crappy vk's using non adv vibro motors and put them in the vendor for 7k each. i only put in 50
next day w00t he's bought them all again.
now i've stopped selling vk's as nobody can get a look in at them before he buys them all.
he isnt responding to mails.
he isnt responding to /tell's
I cant find them sliced and for sale in any other vendor near by. and even if he's using them himself theres no way he's ever gonna use that many vk's.
if he's using them for slicing xp he's daft cos in both vendors i also sell crates of survival knifes for like 3000 each.
so....
what do you think he's actually doing with about 500 vk's of mine then bearing in mind theyre not only named as creator Furiouso but also in name of weapon it says "By Furiouso"

If they won't respond to emails or tells I'd ban them myself. I'd be glad for the business but that's just too weird. Even if they were buying them to resell I see no reason they would buy the crappy ones. At least not for 7k a piece since there is no way you could sell one for more than that.
The only other conspiracy theory I can make is that your VKs are better or cheaper than theirs and they want to keep you out of stock so that they can push their VKs.
Either way I'd vote for a shop ban on them till they wish to respond to emails or tells.

I would buy everyone on your vendor and sell in for 15k and I would still sell out of them in two days. IMO you are way underpriced

If he bought all 200 at the same time there's no way he could even carry that many (60 in inventory, +50 backpack, +50 storage droids = 160 inventory total). Maybe he has some kind of weird personal grudge against you. Or maybe he's reselling them on a different planet.

tbh im not that impressed chimaera has crappy resource spawns for like the past 8 months
im not completely out of good desh copper down to last 3 crates of vk's
he's banned from both houses and i hope thats the last i'd like some stock to last until we get more resource spawns
still dont understand why buying so many
btw no he didnt buy all 200 at once
he emptied one vendor then the next abit later on and then rinse and repeat
