We could maybe do a check on the total amount of the items and if it is over a certain amount we could have the shopkeeper say something like "I can't afford those" or "That's too large of a transaction"

It actually has less to do with the number of items and more with the value of the items. I think my example might have flipped a few times because I had managed to flip it with less of those swords prior.

If shops go on a budget like I'd like in the long run, that would fix it anyway. So technically this is one of those problems where you could actual set in the ground work for future changes. What I was thinking was that we could put them on a default budget and just have the budget reset for now after each transaction. So when ever the new budget field is empty it would then follow that default rule since we would need something like that for MMUD legacy compliance anyway. The message it should give is basically what you suggest something like, ?I?m sorry but I can't afford those right now.? I?m not sure though what a good default amount should be though I was thinking maybe 999 runic but I?m just not sure.

Also I have a feeling that the same bug is going to exist at the character inventory level there is bound to be a point where the amount of coins you carry flips or the total value of coins flip. Its something we really should check on. I know I hit a point where dropping a certain amount of coins was not recognized already but I just haven?t tested it enough to find the threshold value.
