Suckers! You never sell anything that even vaguely looks unique!
Granted this was a hard lesson learned when I sold a central plotline-essential item in Morrowind then went exploring for about 150 hours before continuing the main quest and having to search another 50 hours through every merchant and town (top tip, start with towns you don't have fast travel to, fucking Pelagiad), but an extremely important one nonetheless.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
