Where To Sell Stuff In Whiterun
I just finished a Craigslist selling spree. Over the course of just a few weeks I sold well over $1400 of stuff I did not need or want anymore. Most of the items I sold ranged from $30-75 a piece, but I had a $275 item in there as well. Nothing I posted took longer than two weeks to sell.
Unlike the usual gauntlets or other pieces of armor, the gauntlets could be disenchanted at the arcane enchanter to learn the Fortify Two-Handed Enchantment, allowing you to apply it to other items. You will find the owner of Ironhand Gauntlets - Hajvarr Iron-Hand - at White River Watch; a cave east of Whiterun.
More so, nothing I sold during these “rough economic times” could even remotely be considered a necessity. It was all “luxury” items such as musical instruments, photo gear, and electronics.So, how did I do it?
Four things:Pictures. Post a detailed picture of the item you are selling. People want to see what they are buying. You say you don’t have a digital camera? I bet you have a friend that does, and digital pictures are free! Or, hey, maybe you could find a used digital camera somewhere.
Hmmm I wonder where you could find someone trying to sell a used digital camera?Detail. Simply typing “For Sale” in the subject line does not give people any reason to click on your ad. Typing a model number of something that only three people in the entire world would recognize (e.g. “NS-2”) is just as bad. Give a description of what it is you are trying to sell (e.g. “Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Pedal”). Give detail about the condition of item you are selling, why you are selling it, and why they should buy it.Price.
People come to craigslist for a deal. Buying something used for 90% the price of new is not a deal (well, unless you have something rare or a collectors item, then people will pay 200% of new. People start seeing things as a deal when the price is set at about 50% of new or less.
You would be amazed at how simply adjusting the price of an item you have posted for $285 down to $275 will make the difference between no responses and a full inbox just moments after posting.Courtesy. Be courteous! You are not doing anyone any favors by selling your stuff. They are doing you a favor by buying your stuff! Make it easy for people to give you their money!
Give a phone number (out of all my postings 90% of my sales were over the phone), let people know right away if someone else made an offer on your item (several of my sales went to the second or third offer), and for the love of Pete, don’t be a Jerk! I cannot believe how many people thanked me, not for selling them something, but for making it easy on them, contrary to their previous craigslist experiences.So, there you go.Why did I waste my time typing this? Because I love craigslist, I frequent the for sale ads daily, and I now have $1400 to spend. Question is, is it you who is going to get my money?. it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests.
OMG ITS ANOTHER SKYRIM THREAD. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE ZOMG!!!Just relax, and if this thread annoys you, no one is forcing you to stay:DNow to my point:All the vendors are assholes in this game.' Hey, this gem I found has a value of 110g, what will you give me for it?' Can't I persuade you to give me a better deal?'
'nope'.45 minutes of killing and re-loading saves later.' here is your 45g, I HAVE THE BEST PRICES IN TOWN'/wristsSo far, I have been selling my stuff in Dawnstar. Potions to the crazy potion lady, weapons and apparel to the blacksmith couple, and everything else to a Khajit outside of town that has a 500g daily cap (which is really irritating by the way.)I have other concerns and questions about Skyrim, but this one is the one that bothers me the most. I am trying to figure out everything about this game for myself (I refuse to look online for help in a brand new single player game), but this just irks me to no end.Even when I buy mats from these assholes, make shit, and sell it back to them, I am hardly making money.Edit: I always called them A-tron-ach, but they are apparently Atro-nack.
If the merchants bought stuff at full price how would they make any money?Oh and you can take speech perks to get better prices btw, its not ideal i know. But i have about 30k gold and i havent even been doing that much other than exploring.i'd have more than double that if i could actually carry all the loot i came across.
So really while it also makes sense in game wise, its also a way to balance the economy.Oh and the merchants gold limits are very annoying =/. But again you can take speech perks to improve that.And as for the actual question, i sell my stuff wherever i can, i dont go to any particular place.

I've been played this game for about ten hours (according to Steam) and I've barely managed to scrap enough gold for one, shitty residence!

I've been played this game for about ten hours (according to Steam) and I've barely managed to scrap enough gold for one, shitty residence!One word for fast money. I went from level 15 to level 77 pickpocketing in under an hour, just stealing everyones stuff, doubled my money (at the time) from 10k to 20k. The rest of my money is from looting/stealing everything from everyone.Also dont fast travel unless you're literally travelling from one side of the other and dont have time to walk it, clearing places you come across is great money, and so is dragon killing, dragons usually drop good loot + 1-2k gold worth of bones/scales ontop of that.

I'm close to buying my first house. 30K.how.I don't even.not fair! I've been played this game for about ten hours (according to Steam) and I've barely managed to scrap enough gold for one, shitty residence!37 hours played and according to my little statistic list thingy, the most gold i've earned is 189.975.The most carried on me is 65k.However that is from literally running backwards and forwards a lot. I have a house in Whiterun and a house in Solitude both with chests full of crap.
I sell what I can to all the vendors I can find until they run out of money then lob all thats left back in my chests.Then I go questing and pick up more crap and try and sell a load more the next day.So thanks to that I have earned a nice sum of gold but i've also got a load of chests full of crap. I alway think theres a s in atronach, like astronach.I sell all myself normally to the guys in white run, just because that's my hub of operations at the moment. I hate being encumbered so I loot on a price to weight basis. I've stopped taking weapons and armour because of how heavy they are.
Being an Imperial (Imperial Luck ftw) I probably find more gold on average (haven't played as a non Imperial so I can't compare). I only seem to collect potions, magic stuff and gems.
Whenever I clear out my inventory I always make a lot.

30k is the equivalent of 3 million in Skyrim for the sheer difficulty of getting that much.I've got 3k now. I'm close to buying my first house.The first 10k or so is the hardest, but by the time you've got enough money to get a house, you should've leveled up enough so that enemies/chests will start dropping good loots, after that money is much easier. Also joining the theives guild so you can fence your stolen wares is pretty good money too:). Alright guys, heres a tried and trusted method since all of you seem to have problems with making money. This is a good one, besides of course looting dungeons.Acquire a few enchanted items.
They should fall into your hands. Got some you dont need? Alright.Break into a smithy of your choice at night. The one in Solitude is good for this.
Make sure to save beforehand in case you get caught. Then, loot the smithy for all the iron/silver/whatever bars he has lying around.Proceed to smith whatever you can or feel like smithing, like iron daggers or something.Next, acquire soul gems. There are a metric fuckton of them scattered around the world.
Where To Sell Stuff Locally
You can steal a bunch from the College of Winterhold, which is also where you can buy a soul trap spell.Then, in Winterhold, theres an enchantment table. Remember those magical items you had? Sacrifice them at the table to learn their effects. Enchant the iron daggers you made. Sell them for LOADS of money.Sounds more complicated and time consuming than it actually is. Do this once a week, it goes pretty quickly. You can, of course, enchant anything else you have lying around.I have 7000 gold, plus a few items I bought which cost me 10000 all in all, plus a house I bought for 5000 with full equipment which cost another 2000 or so.
Half of that gold I made from the above method. Alright guys, heres a tried and trusted method since all of you seem to have problems with making money.

Half of that gold I made from the above method.I've been enchanting everything I craft since petty soul gems are lol anyways. It adds quite a bit of gold and lvls my enchanting (which I really don't give a damn about)I also just discovered something I find absolutely hilarious.You know all those weapons that are everywhere? The ones you usually steal in Oblivion for some fence money? Well I have found a way to make them un-stolen.1.
Steal the weapon(s)2. Bring the weapon(s) to one of the many dungeons that has bandits3. Kill all the bandits4. Loot all the weapons off of the bandits5. Lay the stolen weapons near the bandits6. Rez the bandits7.
They will punch you for a little bit, then pick up a weapon8. Kill the bandit, and loot the weapon.Voila. The weapon is now magically un-stolen. Well I usually don't care who I sell my stuff to. However if your just trying to make money, (I haven't tried this yet but.) can't you just cut wood and let the game run when you go to sleep?
I don't think you need to actually press any buttons to cut wood, you just watch him/her do it, so why not let the game run while you sleep/school/job/life? Just a thought.The chopping wood animation stops after some time to prevent that. I set my character to chop wood, took a shower, came back to find him standing there watching an NPC chop wood.

I set my character to chop wood, took a shower, came back to find him standing there watching an NPC chop wood.well another thing you could do is set the character to chop wood, and switch your tv (assuming its on console) to some tv show. Then just periodically check to make sure the character is chopping wood. Or just have your character facing the wood stump and while your watching tv, periodically press the action button so that the character is chopping wood. Have you tried that? I usually just get loot from adventuring. Clearing out dungeons usually nets me a couple thousand.I sell most of my stuff in Whiterun and Riverwood. I've been playing for over 24 hours and I've still yet to feel bored of these places.
Whiterun is quickly becoming my 'hometown'.As for where exactly I sell things? Why, anywhere, of course! I'm a pretty baws merchant.
(Got the perk that lets me sell anything anywhere.)Right now, I'm sitting on about 50k with another 7k (approx.) of loot in my house. Well I usually don't care who I sell my stuff to.

Have you tried that?Firewood is pretty heavy, and you'd be loaded down past your weight allowance in no time.
Although, I haven't tested the encumbrance maxes yet, beyond when it starts slowing you down. 30K.how.I don't even.not fair!

Does every major city/town allow you to get a house? I would love a house in the freezing snow environment! Well I usually don't care who I sell my stuff to.

Have you tried that?I haven't tried chopping wood yet, but I imagine its the same thing as mining.You hit the node/tree 9 times and usually get loot 2/3 times.
I don't have much of a problem with it. I like the system. I got a necklace that gives me +20 speech when bartering and 2 perks in speech that give me a 40% bonus I think. But I get 60% of whatever the value is at level 17. I have more more money than I know what to do with. I own a horse, a house (fully upgraded), dwarven armor (Superior) suit, etc.
Where To Sell Stuff In Whiterun
And still have 3 grand on me. Hell, I just gave an NPC 2000 gold with no clue if I will get that investment back, nor do I care. Every dungeon = 2000 gold for me at this point.Hunt/buy hides, make leather, leather armor = good money. Yeah, the economy is f.cked up, like in many RPGs.First, you have that dreaded limited inventory, that leads to a lot of micro-management, because I always play the coin-per-point game to decide what to drop.Second, not every merchant buys everything. And often they have little coin themselves. So I end up instant travelling to a couple of them.Third, stolen items.
How do they know? The only fence I've found so far is the one on the Thieves Guild.
She only has a thousand gold every other day. What's the point of being a thief in this environment?Fourth, nothing to buy anyway. Skyrim is the RPG where I have the least fun looking through merchants' offerings, simply because they NEVER have anthing better than what I have.Seriously, the two things I use up regularly - lockpicks and health potions - are found in abundance. I'm wearing the Thieves Guild armor, which I got for free early on and it's the best Light Armor.
I'm dual wielding Dwarven maces that I bought for about 500 gold.The rest of the money I invested in training. That costs a lot, but I think it's worth it, because while lock-picking and pick-pocketing level up like crazy, light armor seems almost impossible to level up without a trainer. And they do get VERY expensive very fast.I remember days of role-play gaming, where you'd see an awesome item at a merchant and it was sooo expensive, so you started saving up and even after weeks (ingame) of dungeon crawling and leveling up, that item was still amazing because you didn't find hundreds of better ones during these crawls.But that didn't mean that the loot during the crawls was bad.
NO, in every dungeon you'd find some special sword or some special armor.I really think the item system and economy in Skyrim is bland.

That's just silly.Also, you can get a perk that lets you sell anything anywhere, so that becomes a non-problem after a while.And I've found some really great items in shops.

I mean, why would a shopkeeper in a small 20 house town have thousands upon thousands of gold? Or, instead of bland, more grounded in reality. I mean, why would a shopkeeper in a small 20 house town have thousands upon thousands of gold? That's just silly.Sure, because after my Wood Elf escaped a dungeon crawl without bruises but 50 sets of looted armor, instant travels to the next town, puts on 'his medallion of better prices' and approaches the merchant he had to shake down early, but who doesn't seem to remember, it's the unrealistic amount of money that merchant has, that's breaking the realism.Also, you can get a perk that lets you sell anything anywhere, so that becomes a non-problem after a while.It's not a.problem. now, what with the instant travel and all, it's just annoying. And I don't want to spend precious perk points on fixing something annoying.And I've found some really great items in shops.
Maybe you're just not looking in the right shops on the right days?Perhaps. What have you found? I even had to steal some great Elven Boots of Sneaking. The merchant I stole them from did not sell them.
He was a Dunmer after all.lol, maybe you shouldn't be carrying back 50 sets of armor and you wouldn't be overburdened.And sure, I'll cop to annoying before spending the perk point, but hey, that's why they're perks.Also, I got an axe of soul stealing (which I really needed to power up my staffs) from the merchant in Whiterun (I think) and a medallion that adds 40 Health from the trading post in Riverwood.Granted, super uber tiems don't show up very often in shops, but again, that helps with my immersion. I mean, how has this guy got an axe worth 3k, when he doesn't even carry more than 2k of gold on him? He seeing other adventurers behind my back? I'll murderate him. I murderate his whole family.
