How to make Talvas Fathyron stock up his merchant inventory

skyrim-dragonbornthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

Whenever I try to buy something from Talvas Fathryon, he shows me that he has absolutely nothing to sell:

Talvas Fathryon shows his merchant inventory but does not sell anything.

This happened after I told Talvas to part ways with me (leave as a follower), and when I visited him at the Tel Mithryn Tower. I'm pretty sure that it's been more than 48 hours (so his merchant inventory should have reset by now), and I also don't recall buying out all his items (so he still should have a few items in his inventory). I have previously hired Talvas as a follower and remember viewing his non-empty merchant inventory before.

I would like to buy stuff from him as the "Talvas Fathryon" UESP wiki article states that "Talvas' store contains an extensive collection of standard Skyrim Destruction and Conjuration spell tomes, as well as tomes for additional spells added by the Dragonborn DLC".

The notes of the "Talvas Fathryon" UESP wiki article state that: "if you hire Talvas as your steward, his trade inventory will become inaccessible". However, I have not hired him as a steward.

I am playing on the PC and with mods (mod list here).

How do I make Talvas sell stuff again?

As quoted from the Skyrim Wikia page on Talvas Fathryon:

Talvas may stop selling goods including spell tomes. Cause unknown but may have to do with using him as a follower. This makes any spells that can only be bought from Talvas unobtainable. This can never be resolved on consoles making it impossible to buy his unique spell tomes.

This implies that if you are playing on the PC you can obviously gain these items via console commands.
