Do not confuse this mod with the original one made for Skyrim in 2012. This is a complete rewrite to remove many of the limitations and downfalls.
How does it work?
In simple words, the barter menu has been modified so every time you ask a merchant What have you got for sale?, it refreshes the merchant's gold.
To replenish gold once a merchant doesn't have enough left, simply exit the barter menu and ask again What have you got for sale?
Once you unlock the Master Trader perk, the gold replenished will be multipled by 3.
The delay before the barter menu is also gone, just like Vendor Sale Delay - Gone.
The longer explanation
Merchants keep their barter gold in the same hidden chest they use to keep their inventory, which means it's governed by leveled list laws.Since the barter gold is technically not on the merchant, you can't pickpocket that gold or temper with it directly, at least not in a live fashion.
To circumvent this problem, this mod adds gold directly on the merchant before the barter menu appears. It's like reverse-pickpocketing, an invisible hand place gold in the merchant's pockets instead.
The final effect is the gold added on the merchant adds up with the barter gold, giving the merchant more gold.
To avoid exploits, the mod removes the gold on the merchant as soon as you quit the barter menu. Killing the merchant or asking What have you got for sale? multiple times in a row will not result in any gain.
How is the gold calculated?
Gold formulaBasis Gold Gold Multiplier Master Trader Multiplier + Random AmountIt's possible to change the Gold Multiplier with the console. Simply use set TTRGoldMult to X where X is the multiplier you want.
When deciding how much gold to replenish, the mod find out which type of merchant you're bartering with and selec

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,217 endorsements) and over 95K downloads.
- Saves you from hopping between merchants just to offload loot.
- Flexible gold settings let you pick between realism and convenience.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with newer Skyrim SE patches or mods.
- Could make the economy trivial if you crank gold too high, removing the need to plan sales.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter merchant gold or economy systems.
For Skyrim SE players who hate the merchant gold cap and want to sell loot in one stop. Also for hoarders who accumulate tons of gear and need a quick cash-out. Skip if you enjoy the challenge of managing limited merchant gold or use economy overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Check your load order to ensure Master Trader loads after mods that change merchant gold.
- Start with the realistic gold option first to see if it fits your playstyle before cranking it to 20K.
