Make sure you didn't accidentally kill him! He looks just like any other mudcrab, and his name is just "Mudcrab".

that would suck wouldn't it?! Anyways, not only is Mudcrab rich but he probably says the funnies things in all of Morrowind.

BTW does anyone know where he actually keeps all the stuff that you sell him? :D

In his shell, of course! Maybe there's a secret bag of holding in there...

Another thing to note about the Mudcrab, he apparently only buys armor and weapons, as far as I could make out. Maybe it was a bug for me, or is that true? If it is, despite his superior amount of on-hand cash I'd prefer Creeper, who buys everything but clothing and alchemical supplies...

Yep, he only buys armour and weapons... I once tried to charm him all the way to my stonghold, I only got halfway. He is good for selling or those shiny daedric weapons you find on dremora to.

But he only has 10,000 drakes. My Deadric longswords worth 40,000 i think

Then first sell him 3 Daedric Daggers. Then you give him the sword, and take the daggers. Then wait, then sell one dagger, wait, sell another, wait, sell again. All done.


He also buys alcohol and skooma.

Creeper??? Who is he?? I've heard a number of people mention him, but I'm not sure who/where he is.

Creeper is a Scamp merchant that is VERY reminiscent of the Mudcrab. He's located in Caldera, on the second floor of the Gorhak Manor (your minimap should be able to point the way, Caldera's a small place so just look around for the Manor). Like mudcrab, Creeper doesn't barter or look at your mercantile skill, so everything is sold/bought at full price. Unfortunately, Creeper's gold is set at 5,000 which kinda offsets the fact that he'll buy anything but clothing and alchemy stuff. Still, if you use the buy/sell trick you can still get him to buy high-valued gear. A useful trick is killing ordinators; their helmet + their sheild = 5000 exactly, so you could use that as "currency" for Creeper to sell higher valued items.

Thanks for the directions,finally I've found the mudcrab.I just couldn't imagine that he is a real crab :)
I was searching for a man on the islands called mudcrab :)
Even he has 10000 I waited 24 hours for his money to come back but it didn't seem to work.I think his money comes back in every 48 hours but i m not sure.
Anyway creeper rules...
