By level 49, I have collected hundreds upon hundreds of various items during my quest. I have accumulated so much loot, in fact, that I need to use 6 barrels in Riverwood to categorize my wide assortment of stash, each one heaping full with armor, weapons, gems, jewelry, potions, ingredients, ore, ingots, magic books, scrolls, and other miscellaneous items that carry a good sell value. If I were to follow through with my plan and sell off everything I have, I'd easily walk away with 50k+ in gold. There's just one small problem…
…no merchant is rich enough for my patronage =\.
In fact, I don't think all the merchants in all of Skyrim combined are rich enough.
I know there are perks I can get that allow me to sell a wider range of items to vendors that would be otherwise uninterested and perks that will put more gold in the vendors' pockets, but no perk will give me the edge I need to completely liquidate my inventory.
What is one to do? Simply stop collecting loot since no one in Skyrim can afford to buy it?

I sell as I loot. The merchants seem to get more cash every day or so. So if I have a big haul I sell what I can and I keep a special chest just for stuff I know I want to sell. So if I have a day in town I do nothing but hang out at the pub drinking, or spend crafting or something, I go back to that chest and sell more the next day.
Plus you can trade instead of sell, buy soul gems or alchemy ingredients or such that will always be useful.
Of course at nine barrels of loot you are way behind. Fast travel to vendors in each city?
