Dwf Trader- Am I missing something?

[mobrews]

I have just started a Dwarven Trader. When I go to a merchant to buy something he shows me 2 prices, like this: 5086 (3864) then to sell things I also have 2 prices: 600 (1850). I have no idea how to by or sell at the price that's in ( ). I noticed as I get more skill the price difference seems to get greater. But it makes no difference. I never get the price that's in ( ).

Am I missing something? Is that just a glich in the game? What does the price in ( ), have to do with anything? Thanks for any help.

I very rarely shop for anything but potions and have never chosen trading but if I remember correctly the numbers in ( ) are your sell price.

So for any weapon the first price is how much the item would cost if you bought it from a merchant and the second number is how much a merchant would pay YOU for the item if you sold it.
