As near as I can tell, the prices you get are based on
charisma, faction, and possibly race and diety. With a 110
charisma, I was able to get the best possible prices from
indifferent merchants, but only some apprehensive merchants.
With my current 154 charisma, I'm able to get the best prices
from most apprehensive merchants. I suppose it could be
capped at 120 cha (which is between 110 and 154), but based on
the extreme nonlinearity I saw when I tested prices at
different charisma from 75 to 110, I don't think Verant
would've made it quite so simple. Items do have a maximum
buy/minimum sell price though.

Btw, anyone notice they finally fixed the wood elf merchant
faction? For the longest time, WE merchants viewed wood elves
apprehensively. They're amiable now.
