Smiley (Fallout 76)

Smiley is a vendor who came to Appalachia in 2103.

Background
Smiley came to Appalachia with the goal of trading gold bullion for caps. According to him, he gets his gold from "a thousand friends" and to not "worry about the specifics," but rather focus on "all you can get with it."

He claims to be the "truest of patriots" and that there's nothing more "American than a pile of gold." He also fancies himself a "remarkable individual" and claims those that can afford all his weekly stock of bullion are one as well since "it takes one to know one." He also seems to have knowledge about of the Secret Service.

Effects of player's actions
He can be found at The Wayward after completing Secrets Revealed and trades up to 300 gold bullion per week in exchange for up to 6000 caps.

Bugs

 * Prior to Patch 21, Smiley's bullion would not reset, meaning the player character would have to wait another week to purchase from him.
 * Prior to Patch 21, the reset occurred on Saturday at 8 p.m. EST, though the patch rectified this and changed the reset to actually occur on Monday.
 * Smiley will not sell to players with 5,000 or more gold bullion, despite the limit being increased to 10,000 in patch 29. This is expected to be corrected in Patch 30.
