Sellable Items in Ultima VII

Contrary to previous entries in the Ultima series, many types of items in Ultima VII -- including armour and weapons -- can't be sold, thus limiting the number of ways in which the player can increase his or her funds. The following table shows all the possible exchanges in the game where items are sold or exchanged into money.

Supply
Of course, this does also generate the question about the supply of these items.


 * Supply of gold bars and silver serpent venom is finite. Once all of them are found and exchanged, that's it.
 * Mutton can be bought cheaply from Morfin, The Honorable Hound or even Fred at the Farmer's Market, and then sold to Boots. By buying at 3 gold pieces and selling at 5 gold pieces, each mutton gives 2 gold pieces profit. Of course it's even cheaper to just slaughter sheep, but it takes longer.
 * Dragons and drakes are very fond of carrying gems, and they have at least four and as much as eight on their person. Despite the danger, this is the fastest way to gain lots of money, as each dragon is worth at least 120 gold pieces in gems.
 * Gold nuggets can be found in verious ways:
 * The mining machines in Covetous and the Vesper Mines that are not digging Blackrock or are broken down can not only produce lead, but also the occassional gold nugget.
 * Headless are especially fond of carrying gold nuggets. The same goes to a lesser extent for trolls, cyclopes and pirates.

Other Things
Besides this, there exist three small ways of making money:


 * Brownie east of Britain pays the Avatar for bringing the pumpkins from his field (but only these) for 1 gold coin per pumpkin.
 * Mack in the same are pays 1 gold coin for each egg the Avatar specifically brings from his chicken coop.
 * Willy in Britain pays 5 gold pieces for five breads made in his bakery.
