in dragon age 2 how do i retrieve an item sold by mistake?

Answer 1

Go to the 'Buy' option at the Merchant's and select the 'Buyback' tab.

Answer 2

As long as you select the Buy Back category before exiting the shop, your item should be there for the price you sold it at.

However, if you exit the shop, the item may disappear. I'm not sure exactly what triggers this. Sometimes I've re-entered and the item is still there, and other times it's gone.

Even if it is there, the price will be jacked up to normal sale price for the item, meaning you might not be able to afford to buy it back.

So just be sure to take not of what you sell, and use the buy back BEFORE exiting the shop if you accidentally sell an item.
