Okay, so like many starting players, I have the set of dark brotherhood armor. It's nice, but I majored in medium armor, being a spellsword, i wanted some maneuverability yet decent armor. So I am trying slowly, to replace it with medium (adamantium) armor.. Until what happened below..

Anyhow.. I found an ebony cuirass tonight and I am wondering what the hell I do with it. It's heavy armor, and my skill is only 9, and I've said that I don't want to go with heavy armor. It's worth 35k gold and most vendors will give me around 20k with normal personaility ratings. No vendor I've seen has over 2000 gold on them.. So what do I do with this armor?? I'd love to sell it and buy some adamantium armor, I am already working on a set based on paid duties and loot selling... Is there any place to sell this expensive stuff? Is it so rare that I'd be a fool not to wear it and switch to powering up heavy armor? Should I power up ALL armor types just for this purpose (being able to wear anything).

I like to RP my characters, so I don't generally go with "the best skill because the best item uses that skill".. For example, I woulnd't go long sword just because Excalibur was the best weapon in the game. I want to wear medium armor, yeah i know daedric is probably best and it's heavy (I've played Arena/Daggerfall).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.. The manuals doesn't really go into the armor ratings. The rating on DB armor is in the 30's, yet medium adamantium armor is 18. I'm guessing this number changes based on your skill level?

Thanks in advance.
