I think that the dealers are the ones who sell merchandise (like action figures, memorabilia, etc) while vendors sell products that they have created.
But don't quote me on this because I'm still new to the whole convention scene (Dragon*Con was my first ever con!)
And I know what you mean about not buying as much stuff. I spent most of my money on Walk of Fame stuff (because I'm a huge TNG fangirl) and actually spent very little on merchandise. I only got a few Star Wars action figures, some Star Wars and Star Trek insignia pins, and a couple Star Wars magnets. There was a lot more that I wanted to get, but I am a poor college student and I at least had the presence of mind to look at stuff like the Tribbles or the Star Wars metal lunchbox and say "Okay, that looks cool but what are you going to do with it once the novelty wears off?"
