Merchants' items are on a list somewhere in some database.
The problem is that when multiple people use a vendor, the users don't get updated information.
If the 3rd thing on shady swashbuckler's offerings is a snake meat, and i'm browsing and looking at the 4th item, a fishing pole ... and then you come and buy the snake meat just before i change my mind about the fishing pole and buy the snake meat, then i've just bought a fishing pole instead.
It happened to me last night, and it happened to some guy Finawin or whatever who was yelling about how he lost his inventory the night before.
