I had one few days ago:
Dude: You have any T21s?
Me: Sure, vendor has stocked and unstocked versions. Waypoint -3347 4390 near Theed.
Dude: Ok
I got busy doing something and then get a tell 15 mins or so later. (This was a bad day for me, woke up on wrong side of bed)
Dude: How come you told me you had T21s when you don't!
Me: Did you hit Next Items to see all that theRifle vendors hold?
Dude: No
Me: Then I suggest you do just that instead of accusing me of lieing.
Couple mins past.
Dude: Hey where do you keep the really good T21s?
(I had had about enough of this guysince my T21s are not bad at 364 maxdam on std and 404 maxdam on stocked ones, I'm sure better ones are out there though)
Me: I keep them locked up. I don't sell the really good ones cause I'd hate to make a credit of two by doing so.
Dude: Just tell me where they are 'punk'.
I walked out of my crafting house over to the vendor house and politely added him to the vendor house ban list. I never said another word to him. He is the only one on that ban list.

Just happened a few minutes ago...
Chocograph: I just was at your shop a few minutes ago (turns out he bought some crates of 33% powerups for 2k a crate)
Me: yes
Chocograph: Your prices are a big joke!
Chocograph: 25k for one t21?
Me: Yeah what about it?
Chocograph: Like i said its a joke!
Chocograph: ive bought way better for 5k!
Me: well thats very nice for you
ChocoGraph: indeed
Me: (i give a couple of names of weaponsmiths who sell em for more)
Chocograph: heres what i have to say have a nice day!
Me: Well.. thanks
Considering he has much better sources for his weaponry i was kind enough to make it easier for him with a shopban

This happened to me about 1 month ago
Confused Noob: hello, I need a suit of composit armor. what are the stats on yours.
Me: uhh.......I cant make composit armor
Noob: What?! Why not?
Me: Because Weaponsmiths do not make armor. Weapon-smith: one who makes weapons
Noob: Then who makes armor?
Me: ......well, if a person who makes weapons = weaponsmith then a person who makes armor is a ______Smith
Noob: never heard of that profession
Me: Armorsmith......Armor-smith: one who makes armor
Noob: Where can I find a armorsmith then?
(normialy I am a nice and let the noobs figure stuff out but this guy was getting to be annoying)
Me: well your in luck. As weaponsmiths are all expertsof the mysterious armorsmith. Now you find them by going to dearic on talus and running around in a circle about 500-1000 times. After you do that a tuskan raider will appear and show you the way to their cave. That help?
Noob: Thanks for the info
All I could think of for the rest of the day was the guy running in circles and wondering where the tusken was.

Or for that matter, what's the deal with offering me my OWN weapons back, unsliced, unused, at a 25% markup?
Great story, Ternel, ROFL...

OR what is the deal with offering me weapons made by another smith to my vendor for what I think they paid for it?
I.e. My Scouts were a few points better than MWS someone_else... and I sell my scounts for 12K sliced.. I get an offer for a completely brand new unused scout by MWS someone_else on my vendor for 8K and a sale for a scout by Eliss (me) email for 12K.
Do these people thinkI buy back weapons made by someone else to sell on my vendors when I make better stuff?

I haven't opened up a shop just yet because I am looking for a dependable Smuggler to slice my weapons. A fellow guild member that I can trust has finally mastered Smuggler. I have a ton of weapons that I need to get sliced to open up shop. I plan on giving him a fee for slicing all of my weapons, BUT... at the moment we are kind of in an arguement because he wants to slice my weapons and put them on HIS vendor and then hand over what he think should be my profit.
Ummm...
HELL NO.
All he does is slice them, but I am going through months of grinding, harvestering tons of specialized resources to include paying to support all my harvesters then experimenting with components and doing all the runs. And he thinks he can get off telling me that he deserves a bigger margin than what I was going to give him. It will take him MAYBE 30 minutes to slice everything I have. Where as this has been a 6 month venture for me.
AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!
Anyone know a good dependable Smuggler on Bloodfin? heh
