double check the items in the CS to make sure their gold values are normal, and see if the merchant is abnormaly friendly with you or your faction. Both would drastically affect what the prices are

don't forget to check the merchant's mercantile skill as well

Thanks for the response, I have bumped the mercantile and speechcraft skills to 50 and the npc disp is 50 and it's not working. Any other idea's?

Is your character edited to have extremely high skills?
Make sure you are testing this mod by itself! close all other plugins.

I think you should take a screen shot of the character editing dialogue (in the CS). Mainly the Factions Tab and the Skills tab. Perhaps there is something simple that you are overlooking.

Thanks for all the help but discovered the problem has to do with copying items from other cells and pasting them in my new interior cell. I did change the ownership of these items but that seemed to be causing the problem as now the npc is functioning properly after these items were removed.
