Are there *really* no torches in all of Whiterun?

Question

I am just flabbergasted about the fact that I can't for the life of me find a single torch in all of Whiterun. I've been around the town twice now looking for a torch for sale or on five-finger discount, and it seems they are in short supply or something.

Normally this would not be an issue... I'd just use good ol' console magic to conjure up one... but my brother bought Skyrim for xbox and... well, achievements and all... anyway, console is not an option.

Am I just really unlucky or is there really no place to find torches in Whiterun?

Answer

The only places that have a chance to sell torches are general goods stores, of which there is only one in Whiterun: Belethor's General Goods.

The problem is that, because general goods stores can potentially stock anything, whether or not he sells torches at any given time is a total crapshoot.

You can keep refreshing his stock by waiting around for 48 hours, but it's probably easier to just fast travel to all the general goods stores or—easier yet—raid an uncleared dungeon that'll most likely have one or two.
