My ranger has been "fletching" fully enchanted Dragon Arrows. When I go to sell them at the Armory in Ishad N'Ha, I find out that 11 of them are worth MINUS 15 Million gold pieces!!
Apparently, Gold is a "signed integer" value and you can only transact for so much at a time. I actually failed to notice when I first sold 49 of them and ended up with a bag of gold worth about minus 5 million -- which couldn't be dropped, by the way! Luckily, at the time, another character was sporting 13 Million gold so pooling left me net positive.

So, here's the tip: If you're utilizing a ranger to produce enchanted arrows to support your other enchanting activities, be careful when you sell them. I was able to sell 5 or 6 at a time for about 12 Million gold. Much beyond that and you get into negative territory.
