Don't know. What you could do is set a Mark by Creeper, go about your
business for a day, then Recall back after 24 hours. Alternatively,
leave a Mark whereever you are, then cast Almsivi or Divine
intervention to get near a Mage's Guild and Guild to Caldera. Then
you can Recall back to where you left off.

The T key lets you select the amount of time needed; Merchants such as
Creeper need 24 hours, but in the real world that's only a few seconds

Thanks! Problem is, I'm on the Xbox. Can I do it?

Resting and waiting use the same button, the only difference is your
location. Resting is done in beds and outside city limits, Waiting is
only done within the city limits, excluding beds.

When you try to rest in the city, the will be a message to the effect:
"You cannot rest within city limits" and below it will say "wait n hours"

With the creeper, I usually just stash the extra stuff and do a some
more questing while I wait for the 24 hours to pass.

Checked carefully this morning. Turns out that when you Rest in a town,
the option automatically changes to "Wait." But it tells you "resting
is illegal, find a bed," so I hadn't tried it. I thought that it would
give me a bounty Instead, it turns out that it works just like the
'T' key on the PC, as far as I can tell.

I still can't wait when enemies are nearby (which is a pain when I need
to recharge enchanted items), but I can live with that. The most common
times I need to rest are either when I'm selling to Creeper/Mudcrab or
when I'm waiting to recharge my Strength amulet. I can use my Almsivi
Intervention Ring to get to a town and rest...er, wait.

The wait button on my X-box is the Back button. Otherwise I click on a
bed. You can click on the floor-beds in the same room as Creeper as
long as you're out of sight of the Orcs.

When I began to get lots of daedric weapons, I got bored with all the
waiting and I decided to give Creeper more money.

I just opened the construction set, looked up Creeper, saw where it
says "5,000" so that was obviously the money he has, and changed it to
1,000,000 (one million). Or I may have changed it to five million, I'm
not sure now. Either way, I've never had to wait ever since, I can
sell him all my stuff at once.

There has never been any negative side effects on the game. He still
gives you (full value plus 10 per cent) for your stuff, and you can
still buy stuff off him for (full value minus ten percent plus one),
same as usual.

Hope this helps

I tried the Back button, and it brings up the menus, just like B. Maybe
that changed the Back button in the GOTY edition (I'm playing the original)?

I presume that this is on the PC? I don't think that this is possible
on the Xbox version. If it is, I want to know how!

Sorry, I should have been much clearer on that point. It's not
possible to change anything in the X-Box version, but you can do
practically anything with the PC version.

Rest/wait
buttons on my machines

Morrowind on X-Box: Right bumper ( just above the right trigger)
Oblivion on the X-Box: Back button

Morrowind and Oblivion on the PC: "T" button

Hope this helps
