My char was practicing haggle, buying cheap crap and getting rid of it, and I noticed that after a little bit I was carrying more weight than I previously had been. The first time I went in and wasn't really paying attention to it, so I carefully checked my starting weight and proceeded again. I started with 162.9 lbs, bought and discarded 102 oranges. When finished I drop every coin I have since I know that excessive silver and copper coins can really pack on the pounds. I didn't have much but I did it just to be sure. Somehow at the end I carried 164.8 lbs. All in all, I probably gain over ten pounds of phantom weight doing this.
EDIT: SO then I quit and logged back on... I logged off with 165.4 lbs of stuff, and logged back on with 138.2 lbs...
There's a bug with training skills/spells and, it seems, with buying and selling. The game doesn't subtract the weight of the coins used to train (and it looks like from this description, to buy), and so you end up with a fair bit of phantom weight if you're doing this a lot. Relogging always fixes it, but that's not always convenient.
