Do different merchants pay more for items depending on their type?

Question

For example I found a staff with a value of 2000+. Would it be worth it look for a merchant that sells magic-related stuff as opposed to dumping it on the next general store guy I find?

Answer

Tested:

I sold a gold necklace to the general goods merchant in Whiterun for 47 gold. I then traveled to Riften and sold a gold necklace to the jeweler there. Again 47 gold.

It seems that an items type bears no significance as long as the merchant is willing to buy it. Other factors such as the Allure perk can change an items value depending on the merchant
