time: 1pm
vendor gold: 5k (default amount for this type of vendor, say jeweler)
time: 1:15pm
i buy 10 items at 25 gp each (250gp)
vendor gold: 5250
time: 1:20pm
hate sells 10 items at 50 gp each (500gp)
vendor gold: 4750
time: 1:30pm
maka sells 100 items at 40 gp
vendor gold: 750
time: 1:40pm
i sell 4 items worth 250gp each
vendor gold: -250 //therefore he will only buy 3 of my items and tell me he can't afford to buy the last one. then he asks if i still wish to sell or if i want to keep my 4 items.
time: 1:45pm
vendor gold jumps back to 5k and he/she can buy more items.
Yeah and all that sounds good except for that it'll be more like this I think:
Time: 1pm - vendor amount 5000gp
Nobody buys any jewels.
Time 1.15pm - vendor amount 5000gp
Nobody buys any jewels now either.
Time 1.25pm
Hate tries to sell all his jewels he got from hunting (which he had gathered for a while since he's too lazy to go to that jewel vendor all the time everytime he gets a couple of jewels). Lets say jewels worth of 8000gp.
Vendor - 3000gp (Hate gets 5000gp and has to keep a lot of his jewels still, because the vendor is out of stock of gold).
Time 1.30pm
Pande wants to sell his jewels too, which he has gathered, but there's no cash at the vendor so he doesn't get his jewels sold at all, and has to bank it again or travel all around the world looking for a vendor (which is good unless all vendors are out of stock.)
Time 1.40pm
Nobody buys any jewels..
Time 1.45pm
Vendor is restocking, Pande is sitting at the vendor waiting for the refresh to take place so he can sell the rest of his jewels, and as soon as the vendor is restocked Pande emptys him and gets his 5000gp. The only issue is that Pande has more jewels - worth of like 10k more, so he keeps spamming that vendor for another 2 hours.
Time 1.50pm
Hate tries to sell his jewels again, because he knows that the vendor has restocked, but BUMMER - Pande is there spamming the vendor :S Oh well, no luck today.
Ah well u get my point, but as long as they're restocked fairly often and there's plenty of jewelers in different towns I'll be happy. I just don't want them to be empty all the time, because nooobody will be buying jewels I believe
