oblivion: mercantile trainer or wealthy merchant

Can someone tell me where to find a trainer of mercantile? I have so much stuff to sell, but I would be ripping myself off if I sold it for as little as some of these stores have to offer. If no one knows of a trainer, can you at least tell me where to find someone who has at least 2000 gold to barter (more would be even better)? Thank you!

i don't think anyone has 2k gold to offer.

the highest i've seen is 1200

1200 gold is the max.

I'd try increasing your mercantile and then attempting to re-sell. (Not sure where they're located but try the Wiki Oblivion page)

If you don't mind cheating, duping is another way to make some rather quick cash. (e.g. duping a ring. While the merchant may only purchase the one ring for $800, if you've got 99, you can keep selling it one at a time. This works to your advantage in two ways. #1 money of course #2 that will increase your mercantile skill as well)

As a mage I can dup potions & such but how do you dup items? What faction gives that ability?

Duping items is something anyone can do. It's a glitch so it's actually regarded as cheating.

All you need is 2 scrolls. Tap X twice on the scroll in your inventory list. Then, head over to the item you wish to dupe and hit Square (to drop). Exit out and you should find two of the item on the ground.

If you have 99 scrolls, you'll have 99 of the item. A cheap (but convenient) way to rack up the dough! 

you want to raise merc. skill?  It takes patience, but it's not too hard.

Pick up every possible alchemy ingredient for a couple of missions in a row.

Sell each piece individually to the merchant.  It goes up based on number of sales, not how much its sold for.  once you get up to the 2nd highest level you can get one of the sellers to barter for more.   Also, use charm spells to get the max amount for the stuff you have.

In the thief guild, one of the later fences has 2000. That's the highest you'll see.

I say don't worry. My character sold equipments worth 6000 at 1200 (I'm not in the thief guild, I know about it because of my gf's character) but I still have over 100 000 and 3 houses. Gold is close to useless in Oblivion, since when you have an house, you don't have much other things to spend on. You get better equipments in forts and ruins or quests, so buying some would be useless. For spells, just buy a low spell of each effects and make yourself some better ones. 

anyone? pleasemedhopeful

Go to some shop in Chorrol. A lizard lady offers some training.:) 

Some one mentioned the fenses won't all sell for you....

You probably pissed off the fence in (chorrol I think) if you returned the honor blade to the king or whatever for the awesome shield rather than the paltry thrieves guild reward.  He no longer offers his fence service to you.
