Bartering Problem - Not Recieving Money?

[Messiahknot]

Hi. Firstly, I'll state that I am new to the game, and I'm really loving it. I've just got a small problem.

It's regarding Fallout 1 and barter. Here's the thing: When I barter something I don't seem to get the money when I sell something. For instance say I sell a knife and some flares, it displays down the bottom on my half the screen the ammount thats being offered. I accept, the deal is a success, and the items are removed. Except I don't seem to get the money (bottle caps right?). I don't think I've ever got money. I even tested with having no money in my inventory and selling half my equipment. After it was done still had no money. AM I missing something? Can anybody tell me whats going on. I have the official patch installed too. ANy help is appreciated

Uhm, you need to actually pull the money from the buyer's inventory to the table.

That's why it's called a "barter" and not the "Ye Unlimited Gold Piece Loot Liquidation Shoppe".

Money isn't given to you unless you pull it into the deal. This way you can make unbeneficial and uneven trades, should you not be able to get a balance.

The way you've been trading, you just gave the guy an expensive gift.
