I'll do my best to describe what happend

Was doing some smithing to unlock dragon armor on my second charater, had gone to the smith in Riverwood, bought all his iron ingots, fast traveled to whiterun and buy all the ingots there and make 50+ daggers, level up, ect, then the game freezes and I'm forced to load my previous save from before my smithing expedition, to be expected all upgraded stats were lost no biggie, but all the vendors I visited proir to the freeze were out of ingots and broke, like their info from before the crash but after my save rolled over, no way was it a coincidence, the smiths in Riverwood and whiterun were all out of iron ingots and the vendors I sold items to for the funds to buy said ingots were now broke and couldn't buy the stuff I sold them previously

Should'nt this not happen, isn't this a huge potential data problem, info not being purged when it should

Im testing if you can move items from one character to another.. should be interesting

Hey, let me know if it works, I never tried to replicate what happened to me. It happened with the merchant in Riverwood in my game.
