I was wondering that as well.  
 
Personally I think that would get annoying really quick.   And I have yet to spend any caps on anything.  I have enough crap stored that I can straight up trade enough of it for what I need.  Usually what I get from merchants is ammo that I have a hard time finding.  (.308 and shotgun shells) and rarer crafting materials.   But the merchants so far haven't had anything that I just have to have.   I can almost always build what I need or want from stuff I looted.
 
 

 

"Personally I think that would get annoying really quick."

 
I agree with you on this, especially if you have to look through tall grass to find the coin(s).
 
For me, I have plenty of 308. My shortage happens to be in 5.56 and even more so shotgun shells. When I come in with a load of loot to sell I look for those 2 item first. If they have it, I sell and buy the ammo.
 
Just out of curiosity, have you noticed that you can not get any items that are copper, steel or any of the many other bulk items that are listed under "shipping" from merchants that you establish?

Anyone else using the Perk that allows you to fast travel and run while over loaded with loot? I love it. The companions don't get it though.

There is a perk that does just that but now you have to decide where (area wise) to eradicate them. By this I mean terrain wise. Try and find a weapon in tall grass and that generally (for me) becomes a lost weapon. Gold coins are a lot smaller so bring your metal detector.

What? You mean they just don't fly into my pocket? I have to look for them? That's no fun but it does look cool.

I keep meaning to get that perk. I usually end up getting something else though. I have the lone wanderer perk so when I don't have  a companion I can stuff about 430 or so in my pockets.

I changed my carryweight in the console. In real life I would probably look like a porcupine with all of the rifle barrels sticking out of me!

ROFL!!!, I have not used console commands since Vice City.

Sometimes I wish Bethesda games would be private server multi-player so friends could co-op group. MMO random players kill the fun in games though.

I have to try it as I can always use caps. If I find a metal detector I'll let you know.

That's a lot of weight you can carry. Do you have any special armor and or mods done to it to increase the weight limit?

That would be fun but as you noted in your last sentence, it would kill the fun. People, in some cases, are jerks.
