Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Getting a smith to produce a replica of a weapon you already have and picking the same name option gives you a refund scaled to your income, even though you can only pay a maximum of 2000 gold. This exploit can earn enormous amounts of gold.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Play a characer with yearly income above ~350 gold.
Get a smith to make you a tier 3 weapon.
Get another smith to make you the exact same weapon, and choose the same name.

Wooow. That's a hell of an oversight.
