What: when on a merchant, with both your char's and the merchant's inventories open, if you mouse over an item, some message will show on the merchant side: either that they won't buy that item, or the price. If the item in question is a trap, the estimated price is much lower than the actual selling price.

Where: on the shady guy on the Mutinied Sailor - Port-à-Lucene's dock

When: today, 16/10/2024, at around 16:00 UTC

Recreate: talk to the vendor, mouse over a trap, note the estimated value, sell the trap, note how much gold you got

Although I'm referring to the price on the merchant side as estimated, any other item is sold for that precise value, except traps.

Please, don't reduce the selling prices of traps.

Could someone have booped the vendor after you brought the dialogue up?

Its a known NWN bug that it uses the Appraise of the last person to talk to the NPC, which isn't neccesarialy you.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure my char has a better appraise than the other one on the picture. Also, it's not the first time I observe this.

This is indeed very strange, and I can recreate it, but it's not something on our end. The bug is with NwN. It's something worth reporting to Beamdog.

Ive actually seen this happen on other servers myself, I think it has something to do with traps being labeled as a 'stolen item'.
