Buying/selling working against me. Help?
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2006 4:09 pm
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)
