QUOTE(King Coin @ Feb 18 2011, 11:40 PM) I ended up using just about everything I found. High value weapons were used to fix or replace the one I had.
I loot like crazy and sell anything I don't need and I still end up poor as H. Do I have an active effect called "hole in pocket'?
ROFL !!! Well, if you are going to be broke anyway you may as well just run straight over there after selling, lol. That is one thing I like so much about this game, they gave us some things to spend on - in Fallout 3 there was nothing to spend on, my caps amounts were always ridiculously high. Oh, here is something I did in both Fallout 3 and New Vegas - wear items that increase your barter skill whenever selling or paying for repairs - like a "wandering trader hat" It adds +5 to your trading skills: They pay you + 10% higher for items you are selling/charge 10 % less for items they are selling - every little bit adds up.

I did that for a little bit... then I would find a shiny new gun or something worth a lot of caps to sell and drop that. Or sometimes I'd just sell it after I was done selling everything else too. It is only one pound, I carry it with me everywhere - there aren't many of them in the game. My problem is forgetting to put it on sometimes when I go to sell. If it is indoors I don't mind reloading the autosave and redoing the whole sale - but if I've gone to that robot I just take the loss. You can never get them all (unless your endurance is at 10 - and who would do that) - so you have to choose which you want to do before starting. One of them ups your endurance by 1. I always do strength and the two great additions, then luck. I had one left and tried to raise endurance - it should have allowed me to get one more, right? Didn't work. They still wouldn't let me - so I reloaded the autosave at the door and upped agility - what a huge difference that agility boost makes in wandering the Mohave. My girl is faster and can jump higher. The thing is, I can't stand the idea of wasting my SPECIAL all on endurance, especially when intelligence gives you extra skill points to distribute; without strength you are nothing against the enemies, etc. - So I can only end up with about 5 of the implants. (2 at 8,000 and 3 at 4,000 - that is under 30,000. Just in case I can get more I try to walk in the clinic with about 35,000). Also - (something that really ticked me off) - wearing clothing that ups your endurance has no effect, the clinic can see through the ploy - I don't see why that wouldn't work. I always wondered if you could go back to the Doctor that saved you's and re-do your SPECIAL, boost up endurance - get your implants - then go back to the docs house and redo them again putting them all where you wanted them again.

LOL I don't think I've seen more than 10 grand at once in that game. I have never had over that amount. Some people made caps gambling before they patched the game - can't now. I haven't gambled yet - or played Caravan - but TK posted instructions on here for playing Caravan that sounded like a sure thing to win caps - I haven't tried it yet.

I've got more money than the game can count, it can only count to like a million caps and then after that it just adds a plus sign.
I got it all by exploiting the money glitch in Primm before it was patched.

I used to make money gambling but yeah it's fail now. I was so mad after that patch. I'm not going to learn how to play caravan though. when they first explained how to play it I was just lol wat. Me too, but TK has a sure-fire way to win it (although I haven't tried it so can't vouch yet) - I think it is on page one of this very thread.

skip the casino you cannot win a single hand at anything anymore I read that somewhere yesterday when I was looking up something on the WIKI. I wonder if the patch fixed the New Vegas Computer Hacking Glitch.

You aren't kidding. I haven't been able to load the DLC once yet that it didn't crash the game. That is totally unacceptable. Have you complained to Obsidian yet?
