Auriel's bow not visible when trading at Drunken Huntsman

[Brynjolfr]

When I was trading at the Drunken Huntsman (archery supplies) I noticed that Auriel's bow didn't show up on the list of sellable weapons. When I afterwards traded with Belethor the bow showed up on the list, though. Is this some kind of bug or isn't Auriel's bow sellable to everyone?

It's possible Elrindir won't buy it without the merchant perk, though I can't say why.

I truly have no idea if you can sell it....but just out of curiosity, why would you want to sell it? i mean, you may not want to use it, but its a unique item, is there a particular reason why you'd sell it?

I would never sell it! I just think it's strange that it's sellable to Belethor but not to an actual fletcher

what is a fletcher?

Spoiler:

legit question, i have no idea what that word means

[Tingz0r]

Fletching is the arrangement of feathers at the bottom of an arrow that stabilizes it in flight. A fletcher (right click -> add to dictionary) is the worker who applies the fletching.

Specifically speaking a fletcher is someone who crafts arrows. In Skyrim the term is used to denote a trader specialised in bows and arrows.

Like I said in an earlier post above: I would never sell it!
