It's very easy to offload Daedric goodies to Creeper or the Talking Mudcrab Merchant. I'll explain:
As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, these two trade 'straight-up', they don't take a cut. Since they're animals and not men, they don't barder either. Basically, this means that Creeper or the Mudcrab will buy your items for whatever they are worth, and sell them back to you for the same price.
In this example, my character has a pair of Daedric Greaves that he's just stolen from Dren Plantation, and he wants to sell them. The Greaves are worth 43,000, and as we know, nobody can afford that price. Yet.
Since it's a lot of trouble to keep trekking over to the island of the Mudcrab Merchant, we're going to be using Creeper for this exercise. He has exactly 5,000 Septims.
Step #1 - Find something that's worth less than 5,000 Septims, and get a lot of it. I'm using Glass Daggers, which are worth 4,100 Septims. Gather up at least ten, and travel to Ghorak Manor, Creeper's haunt.
Step #2 - Sell one dagger to Creeper, go around the corner to the bedroll, and rest for 24 hours. Repeat until Creeper has all ten in his inventory.
Step #3 - Buy back all ten daggers from Creeper. You'll notice that Creeper now has 46,000 Septims with which to trade.
Step #4 - Sell Creeper the Greaves. Rest for two days. Creeper's money level should return to 5,000 Septims, at which point you can repeat the steps above to sell him more high-priced items, or you can just offload the Glass Daggers and leave.
and there you have it. The first time someone tried explaining this process to me, I failed to see how I would be making money, that is, until I realized that since Creeper and the Mudcrab don't make any profits, whenever you sell something to them and buy it back, you haven't lost anything, yet they GAIN money because of their regenerating money supply.
On a side-note: Mods DO work on the Xbox version of Morrowind, but the process is difficult, as it involves the ability to FTP into the Z: directory.
