Merchants in the IC aren't buying my items : IV

» Wed May 09, 2012 6:07 am

I'm using Enhanced Economy v.5.4.2. For some strange reason, all the major merchants in the IC have a value of 0 when it comes to selling my goods to them. In other words, the amount they're willing to give me for any item I own is 0. I have an infamy of 2 and I think my fame is around 22 or so. I don't know if this has any effect on anything, but I thought i'd mention it anyway. I took a quick look at the description for EE and didn't notice anything related to this issue. I've used EE before and i've never experienced anything like this unless the merchants didn't have any gold to give, obviously. Note: I haven't tried selling anything in any other cities since I noticed this problem. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Edit: Just thought it might be worth mentioning that I have a Fame score of 20, an Infamy score of 2, and i've commited 1 murder (I don't remember who it was, if that matters). I have no Bounty in Oblivion or the Shivering Isles expansion.

Did you set the ini correctly re: the setting about merchant gold?

I didn't touch the .ini except to remove the taxes on houses. I've installed it a few times before and just left it at the default settings and everything has been fine. When I installed EE using OBMM, I chose "Default Settings" rather than "Default Realism Settings". As far as the .ini goes, i'm not exactly sure which section relates to this issue so I couldn't even say what the current setting is. But again, i've used the default settings before with no problem. I don't know of any mod installed after the fact to cause this problem.

Edit: I also use the Thievery in the Imperial City mod and the merchant in the IC isn't offering me any money for anything either.

Edit: I just fast traveled to Skingrad to test out the merchants there and I have the same situation. I tried doing some investigating into the consequences of crimes but I didn't notice anything relevant, not to mention I didn't think my crimes were severe enough to cause the merchants to shut me off.

Merchants wouldn't cut you off like that anyway. It doesn't matter what your infamy is or what crimes you've committed, except regular merchants won't buy stolen goods. Sounds like something is definitely amiss with your EE ini file.

So I just uninstalled and re-installed Enhanced Economy v.5.4.3 hoping it would do the trick (including the negotiate file in the Menus folder as specified by the EE Read Me). I tried selling items to the light armor merchant in The Best Defense in the IC and the only thing he was willing to buy from me was my lantern for 2 gold pieces. All my other prices were at 0. I can't imagine why this could be happening.

if you are playing with the overhaul
OWCND, this supermod has this as a feature!

yipes!

my suggestions:
---be sure your enhanced economy mod is near the bottom of your load order.

in your menus when you look at your inventory, if in the inventory you press the "R" key, a configuration menu comes up and you can set the buying prices there.

it reads that the reason why no merchants are buying is that all of your stuff is worthless. which also could mean some kind of mod conflict.

get out your modlist, lets us see.....

Ok. Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what OWCND is, but I am using OOO. I've been using BOSS to sort my load orders and it's always worked fine. I've used this same mod configuration in a previous game. My PC got infected with a virus so I basically made a backup of all the mods I was using at the time and have been slowly adding those same mods to my current game using the most recent version available.

Edit: I just tried resetting my merchants using the "R" button. What's odd is when i was in the Mystic Emporium, all of my items had selling prices beside them. I checked out the Hack 'N' Slash merchant and I still had the issue.

I'm still waiting for some help with this issue. Aside from uninstalling the mod and either trying to reinstall it again or just not using it, I don't know what to do. My Oblivion adventures have been at a standstill since this problem came up. Anyone out there know what I could do? My load order/installed mods can be found above.
