Merchants in Baldur's Gate 3
As you journey through the story and progress through the game, you will meet many vendors that will sell a variety of items and carry a vast stock. Many Merchants in Baldur's Gate 3 have a partially randomized selection of items on sale from their overall item pool. This primarily applies to Scrolls, Potions, Food, and Weapons with a +1 enhancement bonus. Merchants will reset their inventory if the player either levels up (the reset occurs when the player completes their level up, rather than on receiving sufficient experience) or if the player completes a Long Rest.
Resetting a Merchant's inventory will generate a new selection of items from their overall item pool, as well as restocking any non-randomised items the player has purchased. Certain items, generally those with unique names, are not restocked upon either leveling up or completing a Long Rest.

Baldur's Gate 3 Potions Gallery
AnonymousItems are locked by level. You won't ever see Full Plate +2 until lvl 12, and Full Plate +1 until lvl 8 if memory serves. The same logic applies to scrolls, potions. I haven't nailed down the specifics as of yet, but armor is the easiest to track in regards to this. I'm fairly certain it also applies to ingredients to a certain extent, but I'm fairly certain you're simply UNLIKELY to see the later one's as opposed to Scrolls, Potions, and Armor which are locked behind being a certain level. Inventories also reset when you reset your character level, and when you gain a level, so it's easy enough to track, just tedious. Doing so allows one to hunt down specific non-unique gear/items by resetting their character level for 100gp, going to a merchant, checking their inventory, exiting, leveling up, checking their new inventory, rinse repeat until back at your current level and do it all again, as many times as desired. This bypasses the need to take a long rest as well, though arguably, both methods are viable - albeit, one is for meant more for folks who don't wish to progress events in camp with characters.
