Delete the items you don't want that your merchant has by selecting one or several of the items and pressing the delete key.

Change the container ID (the field at the top left of the window) and type a new ID for your container.
Double click on the selected container and a window will pop-up like the one shown in picture Adding a new container.

In the Object window expand the menu WorldObjects -> Container and look for one of the containers used by vanilla merchants (their names usually begin by Merchant).

Press the OK button and wait until the CK has finished uploading everything.

First of all, you can buy something from the merchant you're selling items to, so that this person will become richer. Thankfully there are methods that can improve this process.

You can find out how rich he or she is by looking at the value seen in the bottom right corner of the screen. A perk which unlocks the possibility of selling stolen items is an example of what you can expect if you invest in developing Speech.Ī very important thing when it comes to trading is the amount of gold a merchant has at the moment. Make sure to examine the entire skill tree mentioned above, because it has other perks which may come in handy while trading. Thankfully this problem can be resolved by unlocking a Merchant perk from the Speech category. If you want to sell something you must remember that most traders are only interested in the types of items they're offering, so for example you can't sell a weapon to a shopkeeper that specializes in alchemy ingredients. You can purchase items from the traders as well as sell unwanted stuff you've collected or received during your expeditions. Some of the people you'll encounter will offer various types of goods and some will specialize only in certain types of things (for example - only in weapons or only in magical books and scrolls). The world of Skyrim is populated by a large number of traders.
