Buying/selling working against me. Help?

[cerfsud]

Hey all,

Sorry if this has been posted before but I tried searching for it and found nothing.

I read all over the place that an easy way to get money is to buy/sell a trader's entire stock of an item (say, a potion), since when there's lot in stock (when you buy) it'll be cheaper, and when there's not a lot/none (when you sell), they'll be more expensive (hence you make a profit).

However, this never works for me, no matter what the item is and what trader I use - it always seems to work in reverse. I've tried health and will potions, emeralds, etc.

It's been awhile since I went into details (since I just went "oh well" when it first didn't work and just figured I'd try it later, but it still doesn't work), but it seems like when I sell all of them, I get the cheap price, and when I buy all of them, I get the expensive/normal price (the one in parentheses) - which makes the whole process work in reverse, thus losing me money.

My guile is maxed out at 7.

Any ideas? Thanks.

(btw, I'm playing Fable on Xbox, not TLC)

Happened to me a lot on normal fable aswell, it works fine on my TLC, looks like they made guile more effective on TLC.
