Where can I sell my stuff around Telvanni Canton, Vivec?

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:02 am

Most of my characters usually live in the east, maybe around Sadrith Mora or Molag Mar. I liked having one "go to" merchant who I could sell literally all of my stuff to in one run. I am living in the Telvanni Canton now and haven't found any all-encompassing merchant, or any merchant at all really. Only some sorcery/enchanting/mage places and a bar that won't let me sell anything of substance.

Does no such place exist? Where must I commute to sell my loot off? Thanks and cheers! :-D

There's the Redoran trader with 600g - not too far away.

All traders in my game have tons of money, so that isn't an issue. I am just looking for a merchant who I can sell most/all of my stuff to. Thanks for the reply. I'll trek on over to Redoran and see what's up.

As if there is a point in having money in Morrowind.

There are a number of general traders in Vivec, but the Telvanni canton is kind of sparse, with a couple of petty merchants with very limited stock and cash in the small area below the waistworks balcony.

Try the basemant level (not the Underworks) of the Foreign Quarter, both sections of it (one accessible from each end of the hall), where there's a general merchant plus a bookseller, clothier, etc., and there's also a pair of competing smiths in the plaza (Redguard and Dunmer), where you can sell off some weapons and armor. The one Kajiit petty merchant on the upper waistworks level also has a limited selection and a little cash.

A couple of other general merchants are in the Redoran waistworks and Hlaalu plaza.

For big-ticket items, there are only a handful of options, so the "built-in exploits" Mudcrab Merchant and Creeper, and the one merchant in the Mournhold trade district (Tribunal Expansion) are probably your best bets in terms of cash carried. The one smith in the Vivec FQ has a "reasonable" amount of cash, if you don't mind "priming" his inventory with medium-value items over a couple of days to take in trade when you sell a big-ticket item. Glass Daggers, at 2K and not a lot of weight each, make good "change", and DB armor (if you have Tribunal and have been attacked a time or three) is also expensive yet light enough to use in trade:

Sell medium-value item to merchant, wait until tomorrow when his gold resets.
Sell second medium-value item to merchant, wait again.
Sell high-value item to merchant for gold plus the medium-value items in trade.

You will lose some value on the repeated exchanges, but it's better than selling a 20K value item for 600 Septims. Using the "exploits" of Creeper or Mudcrab, there is no loss in the process, so you get full value for the items.

WARNING, POSSIBLE SPOILER - I won't go into details in the "general" forum about another odd quirk about the "creature" merchants which isn't generally known, because it's more than a bit "spoiler-ish", but it's actually possible to make a small amount of money (< 1%) on each exchange.

Depends on how closely you want to RP your character. I'm very biased in favor of the merchants in Balmora. You have the pawnbroker, the Khajitt trader and the Imperial trader, there's a clothier, three smiths, an alchemist, the Temple priests and three taverns. AFAIK, all of them are independent of Hlaalu. Therefore, your char wouldn't necessarily not use them nor would there be a reason they would deny service. All combined have about 11,500 gold. Guild guide service is fast and cheap from Sadrith Mora. I'd follow Kovacius' selling strategy if you can. It' requires making and following a sales route but works. I'd also suggest deciding what type of stuff you want to sell to whom but that's just me :smile: I do that to make sure I get rid of the higher priced items before tapping out the merchant's gold. The junk I sell off to the merchants who don't have as much gold because I'm not concerned about getting top dollar for pottery, etc.
