Sale price isn't similar to Gold Value

[#AKS]

So after 25 hours I've been in all 3 major locations (Swamp, Harbour Town and Monastery) but I couldn't find a merchant who would pay for my goddies same price as shown by Gold Value. Are there some npcs who pay full value somewhere in the game or items always cost 20% of their gold value? If so what is the point of "Gold Value"?

ehh.. I have both bad news and good news:

bad news is, all traders are the same regarding prices they'll pay you. It doesn't matter where you sell your stuff. Item values you see in your inventory basically just indicate what amount you'd have to pay would you need to buy your wares back.

Good news is, you don't need much money in this game. Decent gear such as good weapons and armor can be easily acquired, either as quest rewards or as random finds along your routes or by exploring hidden places off the beaten tracks. As someone who played the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game, I can tell you that you are more likely to run out of life potions than out of money. I hope this info helps. Good luck, and have fun.

Gold value is the price you have to pay for things. Like you buy something on amazon. If you sell that ♥♥♥♥ than a few years later no one will pay you the full price either. Even if you sell it right away no one will pay you what you just paid.

In addition all these crazy people buy what you just picked up from the ground, like rotten bread, old stinkin fish, some ugly mushrooms you picked in the forst, old rusty swords and so on. No one even tells yo go put all your crap where the sun never shines.

No - on the contrary. All these stupid NPCs exchange their gold for my wandering trash bin. ^^ I call that a clear win.

But I guess some people are the "the glass is half empty" types

Well, that is what I call a disappointment when you find worth 200 but you get only 40, bruh.
I was worried about gold because being at level 11, wanted to maximize as many skills as possible while also getting awesome swords and armor.
Thanks for replying!
