X360--merchants have unlimited gold? Options

[earwicker7]

I'm having a weird issue with the X360 version of the game. The merchants never have any gold removed from their coffers when they purchase my equipment. I can have a merchant start with 800 gold, and when the merchant has purchased 500 gold worth of equipment from me, he still has 800 gold. I know some people (cough... cheaters... cough!) might find this to be a good thing, but I hate it. In my opinion, the fact that you sometimes have to hunt for a person who can afford to buy your stuff is much more immersive than someone who has endless gold.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, were you able to get around it? I've filled out a support request from Bethesda, so hopefully they may have some advice.

Fortunately/Unfortunately this DOES appear to be a glitch on 360. I have started two games and my wife the same.
No matter how much gold the merchant says he/she has, they can give you unlimited money for those special magically-imbued items (my latest character after restarting is lvl 12 and sold about $6k to a merchant listed as having 600 gold).
If you must follow the limitations, the only way for now it to self-limit your sales.

This really sucks. How could Bethesda not notice such an obvious glitch?
