The reason why Sazerac hasn't mentioned anything about boosting the CHA past 20 is because that is the max CHA value that will affect prices.
The other major factor that provides discounts on goods is reputation. Get a 20 rep and you will get around 30% off your purchases!
I made a post in a thread a long while back that worked out the max discounts you could get:

Note that a CHA above 20 will not affect item cost IIRC, but let me demonstrate how much cash a high CHA can save at the start of the game:
Taking a fairly expensive item: The Staff of Ryhnn +4
Cost with:
CHA 14 Rep 12 = 22275
CHA 18 Rep 12 = 18900
CHA 20 Rep 12 = 16605
CHA 14 Rep 20 = 15525
CHA 20 Rep 20 = 9990
So with a rep that does not affect cost, but high CHA, you are saving 5670 GP = 25%. With a max rep and low CHA, the saving is 6750 GP = 30% (not sure why it is stated as 50% in the manual), but with max Rep and CHA, you save 12285 GP = %55, so you are always getting the 25% discount for the high CHA.
