Yeah - the most any normal vendor has in the game naturally is 1200. If you get to expert mercantile and invest in their shop, they'll have 500 more, and if you get to master mercantile, all the shops will have 500 more, so you're up to a maximum then of 2200. And that's it. The Thieves Guild fence Fathis Ules has 1500, which is the most in the vanilla game, but he's a mercantile master and drives a really hard bargain, so it's hardly worth it.
In the end though, it really doesn't matter. Just grit your teeth and sell your nice stuff for 1200 (or 1700 or 2200, depending), and you'll still end up with more money than there are things to spend it on.
