Trivia
- If enough of Merchant’s possessions are stolen, they may hire Thugs to “teach you a lesson“.
- A spouse is also a merchant. After marrying them, they open a store (it’s not an actual place, they sell things from their home) and the Dragonborn may buy items from them.
- If a merchant lives in their store and you go beyond the counter to their room, they will follow you, making stealing harder.
- The Dremora Merchant can be summoned with the Black Market power which is learned in Untold Legends. He has 2,000 gold and he often sells Daedric weapons and armor
Notes
- (*) Tonilia is available as a Merchant after joining the Thieves Guild. Some of the other fences are available only after completing specific missions for the Guild. Fences’ gold depends on the progress made in the Thieves Guild. They will have 4,000 each once all missions are complete.
- (**) One merchant will appear in The Ragged Flagon after each special job for the Thieves Guild to spread their influence across Skyrim.
- (***) Members of the Dawnguard and the Volkihar Clan will only sell their goods to the Dragonborn if he/she is a member of their respective faction
- (****) Majni will only sell his goods to the Dragonborn if he/she is a Werewolf.

Bugs
- PC 360 Merchant’s Inventory will reset if the Dragonborn attacks them, then loads a save immediately prior to attacking. (Attacking then using a Calm spell won’t work.)
- PC 360 Loading a save will not revert Merchant’s Inventory.
- Solution: Make a save, then attack the Merchant and reload the game. This method does not work with spouse.
- PS3 Reverse pickpocket can allow merchants base gold supply to be raised. This has worked at the Riverwood Trader, getting the base gold up to 10,000 – however the same method failed when applied to merchants in Whiterun.
- PS3 360 Rare issue where selling to merchants yields no gold after buying a large value of gold from them.
