Its weird. No vendors lose money. Must be a bug.

Not a bug it's intentional so that you don't have to wait forever everytime your selling of your goods. They just have a max you can get from one item instead, which is a nice middle ground

It has always been that way. A merchant's gold represents the maximum price they will pay you for an item, not their total available gold.

At least the need to wait made some sense. This is just like... it feels illogical, in terms of them infinitely having only 50 gold.

Whaaatt? No way has it been that way. I've been playing since Morrowind and loved playing the persuasion/merchant character and I am pretty sure that has never been the case.

I've legit seen it drop unless that was a bug. Because the game said merchant doesn't have enough gold and it was dropped ot 3 from 50

Check out 6:19 in that video, for instance. The old version of Oblivion also had non-decreasing gold for merchants.

Morrowind and Skyrim merchants have limited gold, Oblivion merchants has always had infinite. The number you see is the max they can pay for a single item/transaction at time.

That's weird.

Coming back to your previous response:

In OG you really needed "Living Economy" or "Enhanced Economy" to have dynamic merchant gold.

It should not go down at all. :wellok:
