About Caillou

Is this guy bugged or something?

This happened to me twice already.

Caillou requested two books. When he came in to pick it up, I tried to sell it to him at 105%, but he refuses, so I dropped it down to 102% and he still refuses and then leaves. The book is normalized by the way and I've even sold a book to the girl before him at 105%. What is up with this guy? I don't get it.

The second time he came in, he asked if I have any books for sell and he still refuses at 100%. The book is still normalized. Any other items he wants to purchase, I can sell to him at 105%.

This guy man, I don't even know what I am doing wrong lol. Anyone know what's up?

Well, what was the price of the book? If they ask for an item in an order, they have a certain price range, anything over it, and they won't accept.

For asking 2 books to be picked up 2 days later, both books cost a total around like 10,000 as base price. The second time was well, more than that lol.

I was looking at the maxium budget each customer has on wiki, but I've found out that there is a current budget each one holds, woops.

Some of the adventurers have pretty low budgets, so sadly, you can't sell the big value items to them, even for an order. Louie and Elan will always be poor, so if you want to upgrade their gear to the best stuff, plan to sell it at 50% or less just so they can afford it. Griff & Alouette are the characters off of which you can expect the most profit (well, Charme, Arma, and Guild Master are good too, as long as you keep in mind their weird budget curves). Caillou is kinda mid-range; he starts the game with a mere budget of about 3,600 (so of course trying to sell him 10k items was going to fail), but if you get him to maximum reputation (love), he'll have a budget of a little over a million.

Louie can easily afford up to 122-125%

Only if his absolute budget limit allows him to. Louie is willing to pay up to 122-125% of an item's value, but his absolute budget limit means he's forced to reject anything higher than 1,200 when you first meet him, or 60,000 when you max your reputation (love) with him. It's pretty easy to unlock access to better gear faster than Louie can actually afford it; ie if you have a 15,000 sword when Louie's budget is only 10,000, well, then you're forced to sell it to him at a 66.6% (which isn't that bad if you like using him in dungeons).

Prime is a cheapskate who doesn't like paying more than 105% of an item's value, but technically her budget starts at 12,000 and caps at 600,000, so in the long run, you can sell more expensive items to her than to Louie.

Every hero has their own personal hard limited budget.

What this means is that, even if you offer it at a more than resonable percentage (such as 102% or even 100% of market price) they still won't be able to afford it if the base price of the items is more than their budget limits.

As the characters level up, their personal budgets increase with them. So someday soon, provided that you keep using him as a character, Cailou will be able to afford more expensive stuff. But you can't sell extremely high value items to characters you have little interaction with, as it will simply be out of their price range.
