How to increase merchant sell cap?

[he]

Hi, recently i have been selling lots of high value items to a merchant, but i can only sell 2 at a time or it goes over his 1000 gold limit. is there something i can do to increase this count? Or do i just have to sell them 2 at a time. I'm selling varla stones to calindil in the imperial city if that helps.

There is a scamp called Creeper in gorak manor - Caldera that has 5k and buy/sells armor/weapons/clothing at base price, thats where i sell most of my high-end stuff

There is also a mudcrab merchant east of gnaar mok that has 10k and trades with base prices aswell, but is tricky to find

Edit: mudcrab is west of molag mar, my bad, my brain failed me

wait, where is that?

Oh darn, my bad again...

You can make an investment on stores once your mercantile skill is high enough, not sure if 75 or 100, other than that, there is no other way.

I do recommend you check UESP for merchants with more money but i think max is 1200g

sry again, i've spent too much time on Morrowind i think

once your mercantile skill 75 you can invest 500g in stores to increase their cap permanently, you can also use fortify skill to achieve this
once your mercantile skill maxes out, all stores have 500g cap increase

here is a list of all merchants, their available gold and a few tips

OOO has an installation option which "fixes" merchants so that their gold goes down as you sell things, and goes up as you buy them.

Varla stones are far too valuable to sell, When you use a Varla stone it recharges every magical item in your inventory so it's worth far more than the septim value. Unless in a pinch early on they should be stockpiled.

Investing in shops adds 500 to the trader buying power but the only way to increase that is with mods that add new traders with bigger purses.

Seek you the Goddess Store mod which has traders with much more cash on the hip. There are other trader mods that allow you to sell higher value items but the best option to earn money over the long term is to use a shop mod. The best of the best is....

no i just use the scroll dupe glitch and bam, tons of them.

Fair enough. There is that! I use the scroll glitch to create summon scrolls but have never even tried Varla stones.

.... if you're cheating already, then what reason do you have to care about vendor gold caps?

Because its still within the constraints of the game

So's Dorian. Heck, so's the console.

There's nothing constrained about generating infinite amounts of items to sell.
Plus, there's a store npc in the capital that never goes below 1000 gold.
So nah.
