Selling Expensive Items

1. If the merchant has a lot of stock, buy all of it to increase his or her gold supply, then sell the expensive item, sleep for a while and sell the other stock back. Although you will lose a bit of the actual worth it is still better than just selling them.
2. If there aren't enough items to buy, sell cheaper items first then wait a day, come back, buy the cheaper items back and use the increased gold stash to sell the more expensive things. You can then sell back the cheaper items the next day.
3. Sell gold. This will increase a merchants' gold supply for a longer period of time, during which you can sell your more expensive items.
   Doing this with Creeper will result in 0 loss. You can also buy stuff from Creeper while getting 1% off and then sell back getting 1% extra.

If you can cast Fortify Skill, make a spell that raises your mercantile enough to hit 300 Mercantile. You may need a Fortify Restoration skill to cast this spell. At 300 mercantile, you can buy items for 0 gold and sell 1 gold items for all of the merchant's gold. Alternatively, you can increase your personality to 2000+ and your luck to 1000 using the infinite attributes cheat to get the exact same result.

Click on the NPC through the console and you should see there name come up on the console. It's usually something like "NPCname0000000001" or something like that. That's there Construction ID

Then with the name still there, use the

additem "gold_001" (amount here without parenthesis)

Alternativley, you could use the console command: SetBarterGold #

I might try out the Construction Set. I've never used it, in fact I don't really know what you can do with it, but if it'll save me the excruciating amount of time it takes to sell/buy/resell with these merchants, I'm all for it.
