ENT_Initialize is only called once the NPC has been told to spawn. Your code seems to correct, but it is simply never told to spawn.

Somewhere in your gamemode, say init.lua, write

npc = ENT.create("name of the folder your NPC is in")
npc:SetPos(your coords)

Then remove your setpos in your initial code.
I think that should work!

There was a problem opening the gamemode file 'DarkRP/gamemode/init.lua'

not very familiar with lua so may have done it wrong.

[lua]
local function SpawnVendor()

local npc = ents.Create( "npc_weapon_vendor" )
npc:SetPos( Vector( 430, -1765, -80 ) )
npc:Spawn()

end
hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "spawn_vendor", SpawnVendor )
