Is there any kind of consensus about people who buy stuff off your vendor then go sell it on their vendor (or the bazaar) for more? Just today I logged in to find I sold over a dozen DL-44s all at once. For the record, I stock DL-44s at 750 a pop, mainly for new players who are looking for a decent weapon and don't have the cash (or skills) to wield higher end, master WS weapons. I then find someone came to my Bestine vendor, bought out my entire stock of DL-44s, sliced them (appears only half were good slices), stuck a powerup on them, then put them on the bazaar for 6k. My question is this: what, if anything can be done to prevent this? Shall I just ban the bum from my vendor, or is there something else I can do??

First kindly tell them what your intentions are with these weapons and if they keep doing it they will get banned. if they repeat themselves, ban them

You can take this 2 ways : you have a person buying your weapons for prices you set and after there out of your hands who cares. Second way is this: you have a guy profiting off your weapons. So its your call.

I get what I was asking for the weapons. No Biggee to me.


I usually email that person and offer them bulk prices for crates.

Place a bag on your vendor (colored in red) stating a limit of 1 newbie weapon for each person.

If they continue, ban them, or raise the price to where you don't have to keep restocking.

I don't really see this as a problem. I have good relations with a few people that do this, they've even asked me to put a branch up by their vendors. But the re-sellers who by from me also don't clean me out of stuff. I'd just send him and e-mail asking him to stop, or just ban him outright
