I'm new to 'wiki' CMS, but I made a little investigation on how barter works in Fallout 3, so if a moderator finds it useful it can be added to the site. Meanwhile I'll post it here

There are 4 parameters that effect the result of the price in the barter system. 2 for the buying prices and 2 for the selling prices.

!!! The skillcheck is based ONLY on the Player's 'barter' skill. Vendor's 'barter' skill has no effect on a price.

Parameters:

fBarterBuyBase (default value = 1.55) fBarterBuyMult (default value = -0.45) fBarterSellBase (default value = 0.45) fBarterSellMult (default value = 0.45)

Buy from a vendor formula:

Price = ( 'Item Value' * fBarterBuyBase ) + ( 'Item Value' * 'Skill' * fBarterBuyMult / 100 )

Sell to a vendor formula:

Price = ( 'Item Value' * fBarterSellBase ) + ( 'Item Value' * 'Skill' * fBarterBuyMult / 100 )

There are some other parameters, but my only guess is that they remain from the Oblivion and are unused in the Fallout 3 system.

Thanks for your attention. I hope it'll will help.
