“Am I selling? Yeah. Am I selling to you? No. Sorry to hurt your feelings, but you're small time. Move along.”
Alexander is an arms dealer at the 188 Trading Post in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background
Alexander is a salesman for the Gun Runners and appears beneath the 188 Trading Post overpass in the Mojave Wasteland. He also makes trips to Camp McCarran and the Hoover Dam once or twice a week, to make sales and to take gun and ammunition orders.[1]
He is usually located at the trading post, profiting from the recent increase in caravan traffic due to the closure of I-15, checking stock and directing shipment deliveries.[2] He shares that he makes enough from trading to visit the Strip monthly while also saving money.[3]

- Attacking anyone at the Gun Runners base before fast traveling to the 188 will cause him and his guard to become hostile and attack on sight.

On rare occasions, two Alexanders may appear. [verified]-
Sometimes Alexander stops resupplying his caps, making selling impossible for the player character, and making exchanging items for others the only possible kind of trade. [verified]
