[LE] Dummy Objects used for Vendor Displays?

[NexBeth]

I was attempting to use dummy objects to display items in a vendor store which would be available for purchase in the same way that regular items owned by a vendor placed on store counters are available for sale. While this worked for the first purchase made, subsequent purchase options for dummy items never showed up again in the vendor inventory, though the dummy object re-spawned on the counter. The dummy items on the counters show up as "steal-able" but they aren't in the vendor inventory upon subsequent purchase attempt.

 

I tried giving the dummy item a unique ID and placing it in the vendor inventory, and then in the seller's chests, in addition to the counter, but it still didn't work.

 

I looked at what I thought was a similar set up in the TG vendor stalls, Ragged Flagon Cistern. However, those don't ever show up as available in the vendors' purchase inventory (yet they register as being stealable items to the player).

 

Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
