I still check most vendors as I run by. Every now and again you get lucky.
Aside from a few cash hotspots at low levels, your best bet for making cash is leveling. Hot spots it might be worth taking a detour for to make cash to buy cheap upgrades that overpower the low level game:
-gfay/CB for belts and pads
-common lands for Orc belts/scalps
-nybright sisters for raw cash (bronze weapons)
-wisps for lightstones
-anywhere with xp giving skeletons for chips
-bears giving xp for HQ hides
-xp giving spiders for silks to sell
All of the above available prior to level 15 and will give you more cash for time investment than you'll probably find from late teens up to high twenties depending on class. With a fresh new server many of these would not be reliable cash sources, but with as high end cash bloated as this server is - high end toons pay well for what would be a trivial and boring farming session. In the time it would take them to get 1 HQ bear skin they'd pay you 30p for, they could have gotten more than double (or 5x, 10x, or 100x) that cash farming xp giving mobs for themselves.
Milk the low levels for all they are worth. If recommend saving a good chunk aside for casters as the money in the higher teens to higher 20s will be harder to come by ironically.
