selling items, does it matter where?

[Plok!]

Hi, I'm new to the game, does it matter where do I sell all that crap I get from looters?
Trade skill is the only thing that affects prices right?

it depends if you want alot for it or a litte bit of money in the game espacially if you jsut sell it to a village but they are the most common place to sell in the game

[rcandyman]

looks like the main place to sell things is to other merchant sin the game

Armor, Weapon, Horses, anything except goods I believe, their prices does not matter where you sell them. Goods like Ale, Wool and so on, depending on their trade, it will affect their price.

The amount of money you receive depands from different factors:

1. The level of your, or a companions, trade skill. The higher the more you get.

2. Your relationship with the place where you sell it. Also the higher the more you get.

3. When you talk to the guildmaster in a town he will give you numbers, for example silk(1245).
This means the demand for silk has reached a price of 124,5 % of the base price of the good.
If you sell them silk the price will drop lower, for example 100 % which would be about a normal price for this good. If you sell them more the price will drop even further.

This is very good advice, but there are two more factors, which are specific to Viking Conquest:

4. What kind of settlement you're selling to. For example, you get much higher prices when you are selling to the merchants in your refuge, to the fences in bandit hideouts, and to the merchants in the story line's war camps.

5. Some items' prices vary much less than those of general equipment loot. In most mods, this only applies to trade goods, but in Viking Conquest, there are more items which keep their price better, or even items which can be sold via dialogue options, for huge amounts of cash, experience, and relationship like war trophies, battle standards, etc... So sell these exclusively to large cities, preferably where you want to be liked more.
