if you don't wish to cheat or use any other plugin the best way to sell your expensive stuff is to trade it for several less expensive items. i usually trade it for jewels/gems which i later unload at traders and/or pawnshops. use a little persuasion to increase their like for you before bartering. that way, you'll get better prices for you stuff.

i admit that it's frustrating that all of these owners never carry more
than 2000 gold, but it's more realistic.
