I understand that but it's with almost every single merchant. It some how jumped from around 650-700 to every single vendor now every vendor buys them for 1200 or so. It almost doubled in the blink of an eye and I have no idea wtf I even did.

Doesn't really fix the issue. The issue for me is it is just really boring to spend 30 minutes selling off crap I got out of dungeon X because even with perks merchants are limited to a few thousand gold and I have 20,000+ in crap. It isn't adding a challenge to the game, it really isn't adding any RP or immersion value for me, it is just tedium.

I just loot, sell animal hides/dragon bones, make enchanted weapons to sell, sell jewelry. I'm always floating around a few grand at any given time. I spend a lot of money. I'm kind of obsessed with alchemy and enchanting though... expensive habits, i'm afraid. At least I haven't been hitting the alto wine too hard though.

F is what I use, I've never seen A be used for that.

It is F, A adds lockpicks. It's either a typo or he's clueless, I'm going to assume typo.

Only at certain vendors, and I've yet to find the right one. Every vendor I've met thus far gives me half of the septims that any of the items I own are worth. Who are you sellin' to?

Speech. So much speech. MAX if you can. I feel like one of those Khajiit caravans, the way I have to make circuits around Skyrim just to sell off a load of phat lewt.

Going dungeon diving for loot? The only worse idea is mining for ore and smithing that for money.

I am of the opinion that by far the fastest way to bring in money is smithing iron daggers with purchased iron ingots, and enchanting those with Banish or Paralyze (or, even better, both) with purchased soul gems.

While you are at it, also make sure to buy up all the ingredients you can find and turn them into expensive potions. Slow, Invisibility, Regenerate whatever and Fortify Carry Weight (???) for some reason make excellent candidates.

Oh, and make sure to do the Thieves Guild quest line first. It will unlock fences who have 4k gold holdings and buy anything from you. Turns Windhelm into my favourite city by far, with all the vendors and the fence in close proximity. Markath and Solitude aren't too bad either.

Edit: P.S. - Don't perk Speech, if possible. I might also stay away from perking Smithing, depending on your play style. Speech will not help you in the lategame, and Smithing is not needed IF you are a heavy-armour or no-armour spellcaster.

yes, but its no fun I had a bank mod in oblivion. I made sooo much money selling high lvl armor then putting money in the bank and making 5k in interest per day LAWL. I like how merchants have limited funds to buy, but I miss EVERY other aspect of the system from oblivion.

If you can find enough Thalmor, that's not bad money. Their armor weighs next to nothing so you can load up on it after kills then sell it off.

Although I'm just now starting to find out their locations so I dont know yet if there are enough to make this a gold making opportunity or not.

oh yes i remember that long day, waiting 24 hours for 100+ times, dunno how much i made, but it was alot

do dark brotherhood storyline, kill cicero, take his clothes and dont sell them and youll find yourself getting alot more money from selling things while wearing his clothes (Cicero Clothes= +20% Better prices)

Forsworn armor has great weight to gold ratios... And they are almost very were.

on top of everything everyone said all ready if u goto solitude in archery range as long as u r in the town( no other load screen after) there is guy who shoots infinite steel arrows u can take

If you're good you don't get bounties; therefore you keep every penny.

Mine or buy iron ore. Get the spell transmute and transmute it to gold ingot. Then smith them into a bar and it's already worth like 200 from 14 investment of 2 iron ore (or mine it for free). Next start making jewelry. If you have some gems laying about you can make necklaces worth 900. Pretty easy money and buffs alteration and smithing at the same time.

player.additem f 100000 = gg

crafting skills also yield fair amount of income while you can simultaneously train your skill. not the easiest way you are looking for though.

This has been pretty much the only reason why my Alteration skill has leveled at all.

I'd load up on as much iron ore as I could, and I would spend my time running around exploring, casting the Transmute spell over and over until I could sprint again.

It was my thing to do while running to my next quest destination, really.

craft iron daggers and enchant with banish , doesnt really matter what your enchant skill is it will start at about 800 value at the lowest then rise quick

Dwemer ruins is a good way to get half the amount you need, the other half can come from Thieving and some dungeon grinding. Once you get to a high enough level, Ebony stuff will drop like no tommorow.

Thieves Guild IMO, keep doing the quests from Vex and Delvin until Delvin gives you special ones and you get loads of gold. I got up to 100,000 from where you are in about 4 or 5 hours.

I like this but where is the best place/places to buy iron ore???? Places that will refill inventory quickly. I don't want to bother mining it.
