How to get the most expensive items into bottle caps?
Right now I'm carrying to sell a Combat Armor, a Flamethrower, a pair of Laser Rifles and Rippers, a Minigun and so on... into bottle caps.
The money equivalent for each of them would be an amount of caps I've never seen in any trader I visited. Put them all together and their value would be like +$20000... or even more than I can imagine.
And no, I don't want to use them to trade for other items, since the bottle cap currency is needed if I am to access some special things only available during dialogues: whether is to pay implants, improvements, services and the sorts.
Is there a way to reduce these items into bottle caps? Maybe some trader in the game with an enough vast amount of caps?
Best Answer
You have to break high value items down into a combination of caps and other high value/low weight items that you can sell for caps to other merchants (or to the same merchant once they get more caps in stock). Post-apocalyptic economies tend to be heavily weighted toward the barter side of the spectrum.
It’s part of the game that there is a certain amount of wastage when you’re bartering; otherwise the bartering skill would be completely useless. Certain things requiring caps is also part of the game to make those things more valuable than an inventory full of random junk. You have to work for those things a little bit.

So, as it is, bottle caps are quite valuable. They are worth money, although the exact amount they are worth largely depends on the market. Usually, the price per bottle cap made from steel ranges from 5 cents to 9 cents. However, for food-grade quality aluminum, it is worth far more than that.How much money is a Bottle Cap worth?
While caps are definitely accepted as a form of currency in the Fallout world, many would opt to convert their caps to a larger capital asset that is easier to carry around. Then, the purchaser can use that to barter. It's not ideal to carry tens of thousands of caps, as you're probably implying.[Pokemon The Isle of Armor] How to Get Bottle Caps and Gold Bottle Caps EASILY

Answer 2
I believe most merchants reset the caps they have available if you stop talking to them and start the dialogue again. (if not, they should refresh over time)
As far as where to trade, I think Zack from the Gun Runners in the Boneyard refreshes about 3500 caps.
Only other option is to trade for some stuff like ammo as well as caps.
