How To Sell Valuable Things

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 5:57 am

Hi All

I have been playing the game for a while and lots of valuable things accumulated in my inventory. I want to sell them but richest merchant in the game has just 3300 gold (Rohssan in Imperial City). It means, for example, when i want to sell Noor's Ethernal Robe in my inventory, i can only get 3300 gold but it is worth 36600 gold !!! I am using Living Economy SI 3.62 and it doesn't normally let me use setbartergold cheat. Except for one merchant, fence Ongar in Bruma. With setbartergold cheat he gives around 22500 gold to Noor's Ethernal Robe but i hesitate to sell because i don't like to intervene to the rules and balance of the game. Probably this gold limit was put to prevent getting rich quick and early, which can make the game quite easy. However i don't want to sell my quality goods in exchange of almost nothing. I want to learn what do you do when you are selling your quality goods and what would you do if you were me.

Thanks

Hi. I don't have mods, but in the vanilla game, the system is the same. After investing, the most money available to me is the drunk Nord in Skingrad for 1700 septims. And yet, I regularly sell her items worth far more than she has gold, for less. I figure that the shopkeeper has to make a profit when they resell it right? So basically what I'm saying is that I, on a regular basis, sell quality goods in exchange for almost nothing, as it is ridiculously easy to get rich in this game (then again, ridiculously easy to limit how much money you have as well, which I am doing now). At level 25+ on other characters, I used to go into marauder lairs and come out (multiple trips of course) with almost 40K in loot.

I have no idea what the robe does, as it is a mod, but I tend to keep items that might have some use later. If I've outgrown an item's usefulness, I sell it, no matter what price I get.

I don't know if you want to do this.... but I seem to have a glitch with living economy, not sure if its just me though
(If) I disable the mod, load last save and then save it again, quit the game and activate living economy again.

Now sometimes when a merchant has close to 0 gold left, say 11 gold and I sell one more thing, first he/she still has 11 gold left. When this happens and I sell one more thing his/her gold is 65.0000,-

Yeah it happened to me a few times too (without disabling living economy). At the shop of Tun Zeeus in Leyaween. However i didn't take advantage of it cause obviously it is a glitch and it wasn't meant to be like that. As i told before, i don't want to intervene to the balance of the game.

I think the only solution for me is purchasing valuable-useful items at shops and taking the money that i spent back with selling the valuable items in my inventory right after purchasing when the merchant have lots of gold. I have just purchased Spectre Ring (from Hamlof in Imperial City) which gives %25 chameleon and some other speciallities for around 40500 gold. Right after that purchase, i sold some of the valuable things in my inventory which are not needed much and took all the golds back :)

Thanks for the answers....

Of course, if you buy something expensive (like house interior), he will have more gold to pay for your loot.
I usually buy what ever "special" item the various shops sell, and then sell my expensive things. I dont like or use these items, but it's always nice to collect rare and unique items.
