Then your total buying price is found by the following formula:<br />


Price = Raw Value * Merchant Sells At * (Reputation Mod + Cha Mod)/100<br />
Then your total buying price is found by the following formula:
 
:Price = Raw Value * Merchant Sells At * (Reputation Mod + Cha Mod)/100


For example, if you are buying a dagger +1, which has a raw value of 300 gp, and you have a 15 reputation and and 19 charisma, and the merchant sells at 140%, then your total price should be: <br />
For example, if you are buying a dagger +1, which has a raw value of 300 gp, and you have a 15 reputation and and 19 charisma, and the merchant sells at 140%, then your total price should be:
300 * 1.40 * (95 + -20)/100 = 300 * 1.40 * .75 = 315 gp.<br />
:300 * 1.40 * (95 + -20)/100 = 300 * 1.40 * .75 = 315 gp.


For selling items, the formula is much more basic. It is simply a matter of how many the merchant already has. If he has 0 of the items, then he will buy it for 30% of its price. If he has 1 of the items, he will buy it for 25%. If he has more than 1, then he will buy it for 20%. If the number he owns is unlimited, that is counted as 0 (so he will buy it for 30%.<br />
