Breaking Games: Fable Economy

As much fun as I have playing all three Fable games, I can't help myself. I have to have more money. Fortunately, all three feature easily broken economy systems. The first is the most obvious, with the second requiring some underhandedness, and the third title actually requiring a bit of work. But, here they go:

Fable: The original Fable uses a unique pricing system which lowers prices at a merchant when he has an overabundance of items, and raises them when he has a lack of items. This was put in place in order to allow the player to be a sort of merchant; buying items when they are low, and selling them when they are high. But what if the player creates the supply and demand?
   To perform this, simply play until you get to the first town. That very first vendor will allow you to do everything you need to get rich quick. First, simply buy everything he has. Make sure you use the button that allows you to buy everything at once. This allows you to purchase his entire stock at the same price without raising the price each time you buy something. Now that you have bought his entire stock, he has a deficiency. He will offer you a higher price to buy back his stock than what you bought it for. Just make sure to sell it all at once.
   Once you have made enough money to clean him out, buy everything he has, and go to the nearby inn and rest for three days. Now, sell everything to him, so he has double his stock, driving his prices to the basement. Buy it all back at low prices, and sell it all back. Rinse and Repeat.

Fable 2: Fable 2 allows you to break their economy with less work and time, but you have to be connected to XBOX live. Since Fable 2 pays your character his rents even when he is off the game, all you have to do is tell the system that you've been off thegame for years.
   First, rent as much property as you can. Second, get out of the game and set your XBOX clock back a few years. Log into the game. Log out, and set your clock forward several years. When you log back into the game, you will be paid al those years' worth of rent, making a fortune instantly.

Fable 3: Fable 3 actually requires you to use the old "set it and forget it" trick. All you have to do is buy as much property as you can, and leave your XBOX on overnight. Next day you'll have amassed quite a sum. Use that to buy even more property and you'll be able to make millions in a single night. Unfortunately, Fable 3 has a degrading system, where your houses have to be repaired every so often, so you'll have a hefty repair bill every morning. But your shops will not.
