📋 About This Mod
Now included in LEGO - Loot Economy Gear Overhaul.
Merchants sell items at their real/base/originally defined price. That's the same price you can see for an item in your inventory menu (except for your weapons&armor - see Deleveled Gear Prices).

Does not change prices for when you sell items to merchants, you still sell items for less than their base value.
Install:
Same as installing most other TW3 Mods. Avoid Vortex, TW3 Mod Manager recommended if you need a manager.

If you're not using TW3 Mod Manager you need to make sure all of your mod's \modxxx folders end up directly inside your <TW3 game install>\Mods folder (or <TW3 game install>\mods, wherever your other mods are). If there's no mods folder in your TW3 game install f
