I admit that I'm used to Fallout 3, where stores restocked twice a week. In Fallout New Vegas, how long does it take for stores to restock -- particularly on caps? It feels like it's been at least a week since I woke up in Goodsprings, and the Goodsprings stores aren't restocking on the cap front. (Nor on equipment -- I'd settle for decent stuff to trade, to whittle down my inventory.)



How long must I wait?

    Well, I can't speak to Cap respawns, but from the start of a fresh save, I saw Chet in Goodsprings refresh his inventory (I didn't pay attention to cap values) to new Merchandise within 36 hours.

You might also need to be outside of the area the vendor is in.

If you sell stuff to a vendor so that the vendor has less caps than normal, AND buy something (doesn't matter what, a pencil should do), save, kill the vendor, and then reload the save, the vendor's caps should reset (not the pencil that you bought, though). However, this will not work if you don't buy anything, at least it didn't for me. I'm not sure how to get the item stock to reset, but I'm almost sure that it's something like what I wrote above. I tested this because just killing the vendor and reloading a save didn't work. It did when I tried buying something too.

      And, iirc you need to be outside of the area. Welcome to the site Belial! Gathering you first dozen rep to be able to comment (which this answer would have been better as) can be hard. Suggesting edits. Or answering questions that are unanswered. Or ask a smart question about that one thing in that one game that has been bothering you for some time.
