Thinking on it a bit further, could do with a few tweaks. Like not having instant delivery, and the option to advertise this way should have a cost attached.
It may drive some prices down, but then it will also increase exposure and I don't have too much competition for my stock right now anyway.

As a players who has very recently spent literal hours running from vendor to vendor trying to find a couple of items to purchase, I welcome this change. The vendor owner still gets the sale, and the buyer doesn't waste valuable hours looking around.

I agree. This is just another thing SWG is doig to rid of the downtime and get you playing the game. I love these changes, both as a Buyer and a seller.

What this means in pactical since is your lot space around cnet is no longer critical.

Finally! /pat devs on the back! This is great esp since there are few players crafting items. This should save everyone time.

Let me get this straight, this is galaxy-wide right? Which means that I can put things on my vendor in AC and anyone in the galaxy can buy them from anywhere, saving me the hassle of having to get a merchant to sell them by cnet or theed or anywhere for me?

Yep! Aint life grand :)
I think this is a great thing. Not only does this save me huge time as a buyer but as a seller I no longer have to worry about have the right vendor in the right location in the right city etc etc. Now all I have to do is be sure I have quality stuff for a good price.

I do see this bringing some interesting price wars and the rich and well supplied may be able to out price the small time guy. But all in all I see this as a great addition.

It also means that there is no reason for our merchants to no longer be in AC, which would hopefully make it somewhat less of a ghost town. (admittedly there's nothing else to do on Talus but hey, one step at a time! :))

long over due...hate that they are making progress with the game and me just quitting and dumped my Armorsmith stuff and skill

Although I do believe that people should have to go to the shop to pickup stuff...and I bet will see alot of undercutting and buying and reselling peoples goods with this system

After thinking about it, I think I am against the whole "instant delivery" part of it. I don't mind locating items in this system, or buying them from wherever I happen to be, but I still think I should be required to travel to the vendor to pick the item up.

Think about it. How many times has someone come to one of your vendors to buy something, and then bought something else while he was there? Or bought something from a vendor standing near yours?

If every item from your vendor were able to be bought from a bazaar in another city on another planet, what reason do you have to decorate your shop? What reason do you have to have a shop at all? Might as well just stick your vendors in the back room of your house.

And heaven forbid that you decide not to list your items as searchable. If you aren't a big-name crafter who is known galaxy-wide for your wares, you may as well forget being able to make a living.

All in all, I hope they go forward with these changes... all but that instant delivery.

The instant delivery is gone. But I am becoming more and more concerned by the actual buying and displaying price on the bazaar.

I'd like to see the listing of the products (which is what I thought is was when I went WOO HOO, before I read the fine print :P), but rest goes a bit too far. A major blow to the merchant profession itself. Hmmmm....

yea I agree obo perhaps a listing of products located at a specific shop etc...and you can grab a WP from the market but other then that it should probably be kept to shops. Otherwise I'd just have 1 vendor and list em all galaxy wide that way I don't have to stock multiple vendors and whatnot...
