I'm thinking of making a non-combat merchant RP character and I was doing some research. On the ES Wiki, the Speech page has this to say about how much you buy/sell stuff for:
Here's a scenario that I've come up with, I'd like to know if I'm right or not.
Merchant A is selling Sword A, which has a base value of 1,000. At 100 Speech, I could buy that sword for 500 gold before selling it to Merchant B for 2,000 gold, making an instant profit without needing to do anything.
Well, am I? It seems a bit too exploitable, so I'm not so sure...
ES Wiki said:At 0 speech, merchants sell items for 3 times their base price, and buy for a third of their base price. At 100 speech, merchants will buy items for twice their base price and sell them for half as much.
