Not earning caps when selling items at SCIU

Post » Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:30 am

Not sure if it is suppose to happen, my guess is no, but every time I sell an item to The Sinks Central Intelligence Unit I do not earn the profit.

Any others getting this or anyone know of a fix?

Nope, It's happening to me as well...

I just realized it though when I noticed I was broke...Odd because I've been selling everything to him since I started the DLC earlier today...I came into the DLC with 50K caps, I just finished the final quest for it... And also just noticed I didnt have enough money to buy a couple stim packs from him suddenly...

After some research, it's apparent that this guy has been stealing from me...I now have 8 caps and he's sitting on well over 60K...

Ahh well, He now owes me every cap in his inventory, + some...and I cant get them back, or stim packs...

You'd think that by this point in the "DLC process", we'd be past the tedious errors that keep happening...I can understand some errors, but the basic "Buy/sell" function ?

Ahh well, 50 hours of playtime = 8 caps...There went all my savings...lol

I'd be more upset, but ehh...I only picked the game back up cause of the DLC, but now that I beat it there's nothing I really need the money for...

Double Post; But hey man...I turned off the "Sink's Dialog Options" and so all the robots dont talk...And he started actually paying for stuff again...Try that and let me know if it works for you as well.


It's very touchy though...Sell only a few items at a time.

I have the exact same problem as you Vexx, Im trying to sell him the last few of my gold bars I got, even saying that i'll be getting 9000+ caps, i only seem to be getting
10...kind of annoying.

I'll try to turn off the personalities to sell to him.

Yea I have been selling him quite a bit, turned around and bought a implant from the auto-dock and then noticed I was missing..ooh...35k.

Ah well, Hope they patch it so I can try and get my profit back. xD


Edit- Yea I attempted to sell one item at a time with personalities off, same issue. Ah well, just creating a stash of items to sell when it is patched.

I dont know...I guess it depends on the load...Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it wont. But I can never sell anything over 1k caps, or I dont get anything for it...

Oh, alright. I was trying to sell him weapons over 1k.

Kinda upsetting cause I reaaaally want to get some more implants and running low on ammo.

This game came out in october and still does not function properly!!! i paid for the collectors edition and bought every download so far, im really upset that im still playing and love to play a broken game!
