Merchants

[76561198150896489]

all my party members are full, expensive weapons mainly, but I can't sell it anywhere since merchants hardly have any cash. Is there a rich merchant I can visit?

Tnx

Can you show off what things they have, and what companions you have?

they have combat shotguns, assault rifles, 2 types of SMGs, sniper rifle... couldn't pick up lasser riflers, rocket launchers and some other stuff. Have The bone-tribe guy and Cassidy. But dunno why u ask that?

San Francisco has two wealthy (city) and two moderately wealthy (tanker) merchants. NCR has two good merchants (one outside, one in city), and Vaulty City has one decent and three meh – although you need to be a real citizen (no fake papers) to get access to the good merchant.
Also it's advised to store as much money as you can in meds and chems, since they are weightless. Buying all rare ammo and explosives is a good idea too.

Curiosity about what they can use. Ex. Sulik and Cassidy can both use spears though the former can use SMG-type guns (.223 and 14mm pistols count, they use SMG frames)

Cassidy: Rifles n' pistols, plus a surprising skill in laser or plasma-shooting pistols...
Mutant friend: Energy guns and rocket launchers with ease, but get out of his way when he dons a minigun or the result'll be tragic like with Ian's bursts!
Also, feel free to kill any random-encounter caravan master who doesn't want to trade with you like I do (put your guns away before you approach first!). They hate me being a do-gooder so I pump their ugly heads, free stuff.

Sulik does good so far with SMGs' burst fire and Cassidy has a really good automatic shotgun. I snipe from behind (Small guns is @150%). Didn't find the mutant, I guess he has high HP. Will probably keep Sulik and kick Cassisy...

Met the 1st merchant @ NCR, but he is poor also, altho has some advanced weapons.

The shorty merchant in NCR has three stocks to barter with. If you don't want to rely on dumb luck, then "use" the three shelves behind him: he'll engage in conversation and offer you the stock of that shelf.
(By the way, with mid-low sneak and high-very high steal you can rob those shelves for free. You can get combat armours, H&K SMGs and an almost limitless supply of .223 ammo from it.)
Also, the other one inside the city has two stocks, one for each table (cannot steal).

The mutant I referred to is Marcus (in Broken Hills), who you very likely met in Jacobstown in New Vegas. Remember to divide your Charisma by 2 in FO2, that's how many companions you can have; 2 makes 1, 4 is 2, 6 is 3 and so on...but you can only have a max of 5 people.
