Where to sell Dragon Bones and Scales

Question

There's a great question on what to do with dragon bones and scales, and there's even a question on whether you can buy them, but the question I'm after:

Question: Where can one sell those blasted Dragon Bones and Scales? Is there a list of merchants that will buy them?

Edit: I'm not looking for just a vendor, but preferably a list of vendors (as I've collected about 25 of the them). The ultimate answer would also have an indication of (approximate) amount of gold available on the merchant.

After some searching I found a list of merchants on the Skyrim Wiki, but that doesn't answer my question. The page on Dragon Bone gives a little bit of info on selling them, but no clue on where to sell them.

My follower would certainly be very thankful for any answer to this question, as she's probably getting tired of hauling this loot around...

Answer

Any general goods store will take them: the two ones you'll hit early on are the Riverwood Trader in Riverwood and Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun. Others include:

• Arnleif and Sons Trading Company in Markarth
• Gray Pine Goods in Falkreath
• Pawned Prawn in Riften
• Sadri's Used Wares in Windhelm

General goods stores, without the "Master Trader" perk, generally seem to have around 750 gold.

I just confirmed LessPop_MoreFizz's suggestion that apothecaries (potion shops) take them, too: Arcadia's Cauldron, for example. Others include:

• Thaumaturgist's Hut in Morthal
• Grave Concoctions in Falkreath
• The Hag's Cure in Markarth
• The Mortar and Pestle in Dawnstar
• Angeline's Aromatics in Solitude

Apothecaries, without the "Master Trader" perk, generally seem to have around 500 gold.

Beyond that, if you invest in the "Merchant" perk in the Speech skill, you'll be able to sell them anywhere you want, and if you invest in "Master Trader", every merchant will have a ton more gold.

The easiest thing to do is do a circuit amongst the general goods stores and apothecaries (or, if you have "Merchant" and/or "Master Trader", all stores in an area). By the time you're done fast traveling, you'll likely have spent 48 hours and can sell to the original merchant again. But if that's still not convenient, sell to a merchant, and wait 24 hours twice: (relatively) instant restock.
