I don't understand - this is already how it works on P99. Vendor mining is already a thing -- I do it all the time for my faction-questing. The 'in-the-know' folks that do this for tradeskilling always leave 1-2 left of whatever item it is they need so that more can 'grow'. Sometimes I would even compel the vendor to kill themselves to reset their inventory and plant the 'seeds' of whatever I was trying to get on their first page... I call it vendor gardening.
Your method is just the first page thing which the name suggests. It is vulnerable to a random person coming by and taking it all. If you want to find a certain thing that might be on the vendor and not buried within it's inventory, you need to buy it out.

Read the part of my post that tells of the way you can tell if a vendor has an item or not. That is the main diff and not how it works (as someone else has already pointed out)

Killing vendors ? And kill the supply? Harsh dude lol
