There are many shops in Baldur's Gate II. This is a guide to tell you which shops have which items, and how much they buy/sell them for.

How Pricing Works

When you are buying items, your cost is dependent on the "sells at" rate of the merchant, modified by your charisma and reputation modifiers. You can find those modifiers on the following charts:

Charisma Modifier

16 17 18 19 20+
-5 -10 -15 -20 -25


Reputation Modifier

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
1000 1000 200 150 140 130 120 120 110 100 100 100 100 100 95 90 85 80 75 70


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:
300 * 1.40 * (95 + -20)/100 = 300 * 1.40 * .75 = 315 gp.

For selling items, the formula is much more basic. It is a combination of the merchant's "buys at" percantage modified by how many of the item he already has. The formula is:

Price = Raw Value * (Merchant Buys At - [5% * number merchant owns])

If the number he owns is unlimited, that is counted as 0.

So, if you tried to sell back that dagger +1, and the merchant already has 2 of them, and he buys at 30% then you will be able to sell it for:
300 * (.30 - 5*2) = 300 * .20 = 60 gp
