Sell -EVERYTHING-.

If you don't need the junk or scrap for your C.A.M.P., sell it. Make sure you're hitting your limit for the vendor caps every day. Do as many events as you can. Do all the daily quests that you can.

It adds up after a while.

I'm almost at cap after using the following for two days.

I have 13 no one buys anything dosent matter if its 1000 caps or 20 caps no one comes to the vendor you get like 1 person every 34hrs

i dont have fallout 1st so i sell everything that i dont need in the near future.
i got caps alright.. until the vendors dont have anymore caps for me... they seem to be linked together for the daily limit.

also the cap on total caps is pretty low (40k) so it's not very stressful. when you get close to that it's time to burn some on whatever

Strange. Especially shortly before the daily vendor reset, LingXiang and friends come swarming me and buying up all my stuff. Reliably.

you can put three points/levels into getting the perk that lets you get more caps and just equip it when you vendor(I leave it on all the time, usually), you can hit the 1400 cap vendor limit quicker each day very quickly, also makes things cheaper when you buy stuff, which helps the caps pile up too, hard bargain is the name of the perk

you guys can afford to sell legendaries? i have to scrip them all for rerolls still.

Go to events, loot all the ammo / drugs. Sell ammo / drugs, profit.

I scrip PA armor and weapons. Normal armor I sell because they give uneven scrip.
After hitting daily scrip machine cap, I sell everything I don't need.

This is not Fallout 4; this is an MMO, and everything is tougher and more punishing than it is in a single-player game because it wants you to keep playing. Kill enemies, loot their bodies, sort their inventory by value, loot items with the most value (usually weapons), then sell them to vendor bots. You can sell 1400 caps per day, and it takes 28 days to reach max 40k caps.

In a single-player game there is always someone who finds a way to earn tons of currency and resources in less than a day or any ridiculously short amount of time. But an MMO wouldn't allow that for obvious reasons. So it would do its darnedest to make sure you don't get anything in less than a day or any short period of time.

Put tons of stuff up for sale in each category as well. I seem to get alot more people show up just to see what im selling and normally they will buy a few things

The best way to make caps is either to farm them direct through caps stashes with a tight route and just selling your 1400 vendor cap quickly every day and logging out. After 30 days and not much play time you should be able to hit the 40k limit easily.

Selling to other players is only going to work if you're selling high demand low/moderate cost items like Pepper, irradiated Sugar Bombs, maybe nuka-cola grenades -- consumables that are rather useful and don't spoil.

Legendaries might work, but once one player has a legendary they don't need a lesser legendary and probably don't need a duplicate. Players also need to have the caps available to give to you in trade, so somewhere along the line someone needs to produce the caps. I list my scrip-bank legendaries on my vendor for something like 5 caps per scrip value, and occasionally players will come by and clean it out but its rare.

I hit the 40k caps limit and had to start burning caps just to burn them.

Sell water to NPC vendors. I can't imagine players buying that, as water is so easy to get. I and many other players make purified water freely available to camp visitors. Some players have walls of free waters or even fields lined with unlocked water purifiers.

As for other player vendor items, I feel lower prices would help make them more appealing, especially to lower-level players. How's a newbie posting about struggling to get caps going to afford to pay 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 for things they want from player vendors? I list everything for half of the game's default value. I figure I get a few caps and someone else gets something they want at an affordable price. Win-win. Many players feel everything needs a huge price tag, though, and then wonder why nobody buys anything.

Exactly. Which is why the guide I posted definitely works. It's affordable enough for literally everyone. And when you do events frequently, you're being swamped by legendaries anyway.
