hi,

i am new to the elder scroll community so i need some help with thing
i got a legendary deadric warhammer worth 8000, anyone know where i can sell it?
most shopkeepers only have like 1000-1500. any ideas?

In the past two elder scrolls games, there has been a location to sell high-value items to, so I have faith that one exists in Skyrim. Though, I don't know any that will offer more than 3000 with the Speech perks.

After you done "everything in the thieves that means their main quest and the four Guild improvement jobs quest" there should be a fence with 4,000 gold for bartering.

anyone know a place?

i hoped there was a place you can just go without doing alot of quests

If you get the investment perk in the speech tree...

Buy filled grand soul gems and then sell your stuff.

They called traders ... get it?

Is this a bug?

Nope Easter egg throwback to morrowind

This - I'm guessing your speech is already pretty high if you are finding loot like that and shopkeepers are willing to offer you eight Gs

There are some mods that boost vendor gold if you're into that. It pretty much breaks the Speech tree, but without modding the game (or getting the useless speech tree) you're stuck realizing a loss, or having a huge backlog of stuff to fence/sell.

Its not like gold does anything in this game anyway after a certain threshold. After I did the entire Dark Brotherhood line and got 20k, I don't think I ever ran out of gold.

If you're on the PC go to skyrimnexus.com and download Rich Merchants.

I guess I am not quite getting the reference. Is it just because of the gold value (i.e. Mudcrab merchant) or something else?

Lucian is such a Creeper.

Har de har :teehee:

How can the Speech tree be useless since it allows you to sell these big items for a fair price, allows you to reduce the backlog of items to fence/sell and makes it easier to save up for big ticket items like the house in Solitude?

You will be swimming in septims even without the speech tree. I had 200k gold before I began to buy houses and improve smithing, alchemy and enchanting.
Now I have around 90k in unsold potions/enchanted weapons and 110k in the pocket.

All it seems good for is making/saving money which is incredibly easy without the speech tree.

Have you tried taking the item to one of the "fences" you meet along the way within the Theives Guild questline? My question though is why would you want to sell that?

Skyrim needs a mudcrab or Creeper!

Has anyone found that mudcrab with the "name"?

Because if you already have one you have little use for a second one.

OP, other than the speechcraft investment, or the thieves guild vendors the only way I have come up with is to buy out a merchant until they have enough gold to buy the high value item, then sell that to them and get all your money back, and sell the stuff you bought to another vendor. You just need save, test that out, and see if you make a profit. It might be that the difference in buying and selling prices cancels your profit so you'll want to reload. If you have smithing leveled up then I would suggest doing this with ore that you should be able to craft into profitable items (or if you are leveling alchemy or enchanting then stripping a vendor of those mats might be worthwhile as well.

Here is how it works. You have to Trade with vendors to do it. First, you go to a vendor that has many expensive items for sale (filled grand soul gems for example). Buy the gems until the vendor has enough gold so that you can sell the item to him. Then take the grand soul gems and sell them to other vendors. You might loose some gold in the transition. Just remember to use any items that give better prices or speech, and always tip a begger a coin before you goto a vendor for their buff.

Thought that was a bug at 1st but I'm glad it's not.

You could train your light armor skill from the merchant in Riften. All that gold gets dumped into her store so you can sell a ton of items back and get all the money you spent training back. Or any merchant that can train you would work for that matter.
