No gold will be taken out of your inventory and the vendor will never run out of gold to buy your goods. You can rinse and repeat as much as you like. Now the vendor will have an additional 500 gold. Put all your gold in the cabinet and close the cabinet. Quickly cancel out of the window and click on the cabinet before the gold is taken out of your inventory. Choose the option to invest in his business and then the select 'lets see what you can do with 500 gold.'.
Stand between the vendor and the cabinet. It's next to your home if you bought the Breezehome (not a requirement but for pack rats like me its a short distance to walk while encumbered if you want to sell all your old junk) and there is a large cabinet next to the vendor. Warmaiden's in Whiterun is perfect for this trick. When you go to a vendor you also need a storage container near the vendor. First you must have the Investor perk in the speech branch of the skill tree and at least 500 gold can do this trick. This trick is similar to the get a free house trick.
