Is there a way to sell items worth 5000 for anywhere close to that?
In other words, is there a "Creeper" in Oblivion?

Not to my knowledge; at higher levels of Mercantile skill shops will have more gold to trade (or you can invest in a shop to raise the gold available) but I don't think a single merchant ignores the respective Mercantile skill. You'll need to raise it and possibly haggle with the buyer to get a good price.

how do u invest in a shop?
Matthew on 25/7/2006 at 15:44
You have to be either Journeyman or Master of Mercantile; I can't remember off the top of my head which.
EDIT: Journeyman? I meant Expert.

Manual says you need to be an Expert in Mercantile to invest (+500 in each store you invest in). At Master, all shops gain an extra 500.

Yeah, what he said. :)

It's pretty useless anyway. By the time you're finding items <i>worth</i> more than 1,000 gold, you'll be finding tons of the stuff. I sell pieces of armor at 1200 gold each, sometimes less than a fifth of the actual value. I just have so much it really doesn't matter.
I'd much rather not put time into Mercantilism and instead invest in getting a lot of rather common stuff. Quantity will make up for quality and do so with a lot less work entailed!

I have been playing for some time and acquired an item i couldnt wear to the market but helped me carry alot more to my house on the waterfront, after storing so much there that my drawers took so long to long i decided to liquidate my assets... I had made enought money through alchemy and selling a little here and there to buy almost naything worth buying... the end of it all... i now have $500,000 gold... I still have some axes and some unusual enchanted items, but i sell everything in the imperial marketplace, just in case i want something back...
Side note: once i became a master alchemist turing a 1 gold potato into a 56gold potion was as easy as pushing my mouse button, made about 100k that way

Does Imperial Marketplace keep the items you sell them?

they do for a while but not a long term thing... I sold what must have been about 500 restore fatigue potions... and they were there for a while but then one day the shop seemed to reset its inventory, even the expert equipment was gone... Probably a certain of the month the shop keep resets
