There should also be merchants that actually have the money to pay for the better loot you find. I have tons of stuff that could get me 100s of thousands of gold and nowhere that I can sell it to to get what its worth. The only way is to raise mercantile skill to master (I think) and invest gold in the stores, but the only way of doing that is to sell or buy things which sucks because I don't want to sell things for their crappy low prices. I have to say the system of buying and selling in Fallout is better in that the money you spend on buying things is added on to the total that the shopkeeper will spend.
