The best place by far to sell stuff is in the Hammer and Tongs - In Skingrad which is also 1200, the max you can sell stuff also depends on your mercantile skill, the higher it is the more you can get for your goods.
Talk to the count in leyawin first, he will allow you to join knights of the white stallion... I think its called that, anyway rockmilk is full of black bow bandits, and for every black bow you bring him he gives you gold.
And yes in a few game days all the bandits and stuff will respawn in rockmilk.
