You Gold won't help you here

The Desert Trader, found unremarkably in the Desert after you’ve completed the Vault Bundle and repaired the bus, has a number of items available. The vendor is available both during and outside of the Desert Festival. However, they’re not interested in your Gold. Flaunting it will get you nowhere, because the Desert Trader wants other🦋 semi-precious items in exchange foꦡr their wares.
