evilchamp: Wow --
the fine merchants in the Withcer 2 sure know how to turn a profit. And Geralt seems to enjoy getting ripped off.
Let's take a standard item, like the Blue Mountain Sword. This is a common find early in the game. I collected like 8 of these (dealt with the weight issues too) and sold them for about 18 ormen a pop.
The same merchant I just dealt with was now selling them for 320+ ormen!
WTF!
While I have no intention of buying the sword back, this is a huge pain when dealing with Iron Ore, for example. It weighs a ton, so I have to sell about 20 at a time to decrease my load. If I want to buy it back it sells for 5 times what I sold it for!
Gamers should be able to receive anywhere from at least a third to half of the items value. Why Geralt settles for such low prices is beyond me.
