Yes, should have mentioned that: easier to HIT with bound longbow, even if you have low marksmanship. Once I've got a character going, I never use any other bow, or spear for that matter.
As to prices, when I first got the 'Zenithar Whispers' amulet that charms 30 points, I was using it on all the merchants before I sold to them. In many cases, it actually LOWERS their initial offer. There is some point of diminishing returns that I haven't pinned down: I'm pretty sure Ajira pays much less after her affection for you hits 100%, than she did at, say, 80.
In fairness, though, it may increase the amount they'll actually pay you as opposed to offer, but I find having to negotiate EVERY sale a little tedious, after a while.
An exception to this seems to be successfully completeing a sale, though: by selling the ghostgate armor guy a ton of items, one at a time, his affection for me increased, and his asking price for glass armor decreased. To do that, you have to hit 'barter', and sell a cheap item [arrows are good] one at a time. Accept his offer, which kicks you back to the dialog menu: DO NOT exit the dialog, just hit 'barter' again, or all the increase in goodwill evaporates.
At the end of a session, you can always buy the arrows back in one swell foop, for less than he paid you.
