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.

The way a merchants gold is handled is not a bug. A merchant with an $800 gold limit will not buy anything worth more than $800. Well they will buy it but will not pay full price.

Every merchant I've sold to have unlimited gold, but will not pay more than thier "cash limit" for an item. I have seen this happen with an item that i accidently sold that was worth at least twice what i recieved for it. The merchant gave as much gold as his "cash limit" when i sold that item.

Earlier posts (unless I'm misunderstanding them) have said that they actually will pay more than their limit.

We're going to have to take this to the designers, aren't we
