I bought a bow that had the Banish enchant on it (cost me over 6k which put him over 7k) and I went to the arcane enchanter at Castle Dour, disenchanted the bow to learn banish and crafted a few daggers with the enchant. Then I went back to the Fletcher which is almost next door to the Castle and he only had 750 gold again.

Is the amount of gold a vendor has supposed to reset this fast? I was under the impression that it takes a few days to reset, what's going on?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you

it should restock when the inventory restocks which is every 48 hours.

however skyrim is very strange when it comes to cell buffer managment.

if you quicksave, kill a merchant, the quickload, his inventory and gold will be reset.

if you quicksave, buy a merchant's items, then reload, their stock will not have reverted back to what it should be.

This reminds me of an extremly weird bug in Fallout 3, wanted to enslave a lady in tenpeny tower, saved and used the stun gun on here, however she run away then I tried to collar her so I reloaded.
Now her was gone, quest marker pointed to the slave camp for some reason, but quest said she was not enslaved so I fast traveled up, just to find that she was walking home to the tower, new fast travel and I intercepted her and collared her.

So does anyone know why the vendors gold would go down from over 7k to 757 in about 1 hour in game time? I was hoping to sell some stuff to him to get the gold back that I spent on that bow with the banish enchant.

hmmm I don't think it's every 48 hours, I've sold stuff to them rested till the next morning and they have gold again. So they always have new gold daily for me.
