::chuckle::  I got my wife hooked on Fallout 3, she's addicted to it.  Currently she is going crazy trying to find a source of bobby pins.  The ones you can just find laying about are enough for me, so I've never had to find a good source, but she goes through them faster than I do.  She says she can't find anyone selling them and currently doesn't have any, but needs one to further her quest right now.

   Anyone know a good way to find some immediately?

If you don't rush to lockpick something and they don't break, they're reusable. Make sure she knows this because otherwise she'll have a hard time keeping up with her bobby pin stash.

That said, aside from finding a few in random first aid kits/desks/etc, your best bet is buying from sellers. Not much more I can say. =/

I have quite a few spare. If there was a way to give some to her I would.

@Infamous

   She knows they are reusable, she just breaks them as often than she finds them.

Does she constantly check her surroundings? I.E if she is in a random office will she check every desk/suitcase/stashable place? I constantly lockpick everything I come across, and usually have a spare 40 or so, but that's because I check EVERYWHERE.

I wish there was a bobby pin specific vendor..

She does, and she's more thorough than I am. I thought I was thorough in games, but she finds crap I miss. I go back and get stuff after I see her find it all.

She just breaks her bobby pins a lot. Not as experienced a gamer. She's mad at me right now for turning her into a gamer, heh.

Well yeah, if we could transfer items, I'd have plenty to give her too.

I wouldn't trade my "Naughty Nightwear" for all the bobby pins in the world!  :O

I always had 30 bobby pins too much in my inventory. She should better save the game before lockpicking...

I do like seeing her in the Naughty Nightwear.
