Well, to be fair, most merchants in video games purchase items off of players for about 10-50% of their actual value, so this guy is probably going to end up selling that sword for 100k to someone else.
Never, EVER feel bad for NPC vendors.

ID: h4yh53dI spent a month looking for that crab.

ID: h4yuy0yHow dry I am, how dry I am. Nobody knows how dry I am.
Shay!
ID: h4z90rfWhat am I missing here?
ID: h4y2x2gThis.
The food is just to get adventurers in the door, the real money is on reselling their legendaries. =P
ID: h4z5shqThe real treasure is the friends we made along the way
ID: h4y53dhMost merchants in video games purchase items off of players for about 10-15% of their actual value

ID: h4yb1hrIf I recall correctly (and this is like a decade and a half ago), Fable 1 could achieve about 50% vendor price efficiency, and could make a profit buying some rock at one region, and selling the same rocks (I'm pretty sure it was a crystal or something) at a different region.
It still took time and, as far as I know, this was intentional.
ID: h4yaz34I love it when games let you train the merchant / charisma / trading skills, so you can lean into better trades, or even set up your own store. Sometimes I just go boot up Reccetear to play the full item shoppe experience.
ID: h4yg6c1And once he's made all of that money, that's when I sneak into his house in the middle of the night and put my hand in his... Cookie Jar.
ID: h4y35hmsad vendor noises
ID: h4yzy06If they have that much cash on hand, they're doing just fine anyway.

Even though it's a bit of a pain in the arse, I do appreciate when games give their merchants a limited pot of money. It's more realistic that some guy selling cheese and leather out in the sticks doesn't have the cash to buy your diamond-encrusted cuirass but a successful weapon merchant in the capital does.
ID: h4xadifIt's also annoying but makes sense when the guy selling food is not interested in buying swords, and you have to find a weapon merchant for that, and viceversa.
ID: h4y2dfoOr if he does buy weapons he buys them at nowhere near real value.
ID: h4yfzfbAlthough in real life, most food shops won't buy food off you.
ID: h4xgmvlI do like it from a realism stand point, but it gets a little annoying in TES games when you've reached total badass status and it gets to be difficult to for the merchants to keep up with your constant looting or priceless artifacts.
ID: h4xjmb6"Good evening Alchemist shop keeper, I would like to buy all your ingredients and strength potions. Here are 4 gems worth 2,400 gold. Good bye"
Repeat until entire province is devoid of cash. Haha.
ID: h4ya01rHonestly that seems less to me about everything being super valuable and more that the actual loot system breaks immersion. If an item made by reasonably common group like an elven sword costs more than your weight in gold coins this is naturally going to cause a lot of problems when the elf you're selling to suddenly can't afford it.
ID: h4xm1wvThere are mods for that that make the merchant gold level with the player.
Let's see now...
Whoops. It had to go! I wonder if I should leave it in for my next playthru, as I haven't had any trouble with it. Hmmm...
ID: h4xa6xhAfter I retired from plundering, I went on week long rotating trade routes to sell all those wares to every shop in the realm. A week because that's how long it takes the shop to refill their money. I also never completed the main story of skyrim for some reason.
ID: h4xlte1I've seen guides for Skyrim that tell you where to fast-travel between that takes juuust enough time for the merchants to refill their gold organically.
ID: h4y2qtiIf you quicksave, agrro the shopkeeper and Quickload his inventory and money respawn
ID: h4ykzm0It actually only takes 24 hours.
You can literally just sell & wait, sell & wait, sell & wait.
Whiterun is one of the easiest places, since it has the blacksmith (and the guy inside who has a seperate inventory), alchemist, pawn shop in close proximity. Plus the court wizard and the Companion's smith, but that's a bit of a walk.
As much as I like those mechanics, it gets old fast when you can trivialize them. It's gotten to the point where I just add a bunch of gold to the NPCs inventory so I can sell more stuff (rinse and repeat).
ID: h4xl1xsMount and Blade: Warband has that. Problem is that I had gotten an item in a mod that was worth so much that I couldn't find a single vendor who had enough money to buy it.
ID: h4y31bjAs long as there would be some people who have the funds to buy everything... I have a few crates in Skyrim that hold enough loot to buy all of tamriel but nobody can afford to take any of it off my hands
ID: h4y2fzjI feel like I should be able to open a consignment shop, or find a high level fence/broker that will take my stuff and find buyers...
ID: h4y8ojmand then hire a seductress spy to flirt with you on discord get a guild invite infiltrate the top layers of your officer rank and then steal it all back from your vaults along with €35000 worth of other assets destroying your 10 year old relationships with your online friends.
and then have the whole world taunt you.
ID: h4y79pbBut I do hate when a master armor has the same amount of gold as the normal armor
ID: h4yslbxOn the other hand, having to do circuit through half a dozen towns to actually sell all the crap you looted from the last dungeon gets old really quickly.

Isn't it the other way round usually? That legendary sword you hand forged from giant bone, strengthened in dragon blood and decorated with nymph leather? 100g Wanna buy my stock of cabbages? 10k gold

This is me selling 2k caps worth of pre war money to any trader that'll take it in fallout 3 and NV
ID: h4ykcisWell they use pre war money for TP in fallout, so they're actually probably pretty excited when you sell your stock to them.

There's a follow up video where his wife is pissed off at him for spending their life savings.

ID: h4x9694The hero sold the sword to the merchant, not the other way around. That's why he lost money in the last panel.

Based on the games I've played, more like he'd offer 5gp, tops.
