Just a quick question for the more experienced Fallout New Vegas players, are there any items that sell for substantially more money to specific NPCs like the pre-war books in Fallout 3 (to the BoS scribe)?

Missiles to Raquel
Scrap Metal to Jack
Can't think of anymore

Vault suit to Sarah, but I think she stop after you have spent quality time with her.

Snowglobes, 2000 caps each.

Thanks for all of the replies guys, now I can get rid of all of the pre-war books I've been hording. If anyone can think of others please post them.

snow globes like someone mentioned already but also the boomers base has lots of combat armor in a few spots and combat armor is worth a lot of caps so just the amount of combat armor alone there is prob 15 or 20 thousand caps worth easily.

Don't bother with Missiles to Raquel. You're giving them away for free then.

Hey, I am now at hardcoe mod 15 hours inn and i would say in causal game or hardcoe u will need to kill

legions, vipers and raid facilitys or collect alot of often seen items like wiskey, saparilla bottles empty,
and try to make as much profit possible or help the Van Dam for medium armor worth 6k in without dinging 10 so i did this time.

I will say that after u played the game a few times u find ur own way to make as much caps as possible

Thats only as long as Mr. House lives. Jane vanishes once you open his Antechamber.

Go to New Vegas and go to the Energy weapon shop. Put on a stealth boy, then, STEAL EVERYTHING!!!

Pretty much any weapon you know you're not going to use. The price for weapons in Vegas is so much more realistic than it was in F3 it just isn't fair. 10mm pistols sell for about 1,000 caps in full repair. 10mm SMG's sell for about 1,200 caps in 60% repair. Frag grenades versus Dynamite might be a bit tricky, I choose to sell the grenades personally because they sell for about 150 caps a pop. Need more info, or will that suffice??

Actually, you don't even need a stealthboy. I've found this to work,

The only drawback is some of the weapons might be in poor repair and not sell for what they're worth. Great mantle pieces, at least!

Nice tip!!

I was talking more about "generic" type items, ie. pre-war money, cigarettes, pre-war books, scrap metal, empty sarsparilla bottles, etc. I seriously appreciate any and all replies though, thanks a million guys, it's really nice to find a good community of gamers that actually want to help each other and the less experienced gamers.

I get a chuckle anytime someone mentions that something in this game is more "realistic." haha

Go to where fiends spawn, kill them take their armor repair it as best as you can and sell it.
