Luckily, you don’t have to look far or do much.
Something in the Imperial City Market District caught your eye?
Here’s how to afford it.
And in most cases,the best place to do that is in the Imperial City Market District.
However, you’ll encounter two limitations.
The first is thetypeof merchant you’re talking to.
Vendors typicallyonly buy and sell items related to their trade.
Alchemist shops, for instance, only deal in alchemy items.
General Stores, like the Copious Coinpurse, will buy just about anything that isn’t stolen.
When shopping there, you’ll encounter the second limitation: the gold limit.
That limit isthe absolute maximum they will pay for any one item, regardless of its actual value.
Every vendor in Oblivion has an upper limit to the prices they’ll pay for your loot items.
That value can vary wildly depending on the jot down of vendor, what they sell, and where.
Thebestmerchants to sell to have a limit of 1,200-2,000 gold, and they’re few and far between.
Their prices don’t get better, but the only limitation to selling is their gold cap.
Better yet, you’re free to Haggle to get better prices up to the cap.
The higher their Disposition,the better their purchase price.
you might extend that ratio to other merchants at other Dispositions.
On average,a merchant will always buy items from you for around 25 percent lessthan their base value.
If the merchant accepts the selling price, you’re able to go to town.
The instant they refuse,start reducing the bar by one percent at a timeuntil they start buying again.
The catch is, you’ll need to invest a lot of time in leveling the Mercantile Skill.
At Master Mercantile, level 100, every vendor will immediately andpermanently have another 500 addedto their gold limit.
Note that you don’t gain any additional skill experience for selling stacks of items.
It’s best practice to sell items individually for optimal progress.
Surely the Gray Fox is just a myth… right?
