Mod that gives trade XP for selling weapons and armor?

Is there a mod that gives trade XP for selling weapons and armor?

Trade XP is based on the profit of the item sold: the sale price minus the purchase price. You should already be able to profit from trading weapons and armor, provided you actually make a profit.

That's what I thought but I don't think that's the case with weapons and armor after looking it up. Logically that would make sense and is why I would love a mod for it.

This is based on videos, so things may have changed. In order to get experience, you must be selling something you actually paid for. Selling gear you get from battle loot will not give trade XP, nor will selling weapons you smith. Buying hogs or other livestock, slaughtering them, then selling the hide and meat won't give any trade XP (as you bought the animals, not the hides and meat). And with the markup for gear, it simply isn't viable to buy and sell gear for XP. Trade goods and livestock, on the other hand, are far easier to get XP from (but as I said above, slaughtering the livestock won't give trade XP).

Also, it seems that the game loses the price you paid for an item upon reloading, so you might not get XP for items you bought in a previously play session.

Having never bought it makes sense. It would be great to have a method for leveling trade mid way through the game when I have a castle or two and no longer need to be my own caravan. Selling battle loot, managing caravans, workshops maybe. But I've been stuck at the same level for much of the game since I'm not trading from town to town anymore. I did download this mod that gives some xp for sending out a caravan. Think it will do
