Shop discount and getting the items unlocked are not unlocked the same way.

The shop discount is from the Gold Idol itself (Either original or the forgery, both work) giving a 30% discount. The Idol must be in the player's inventory (either yours or your pawn(s)) for it to work.

Getting items unlocked is from, depending on the vendor, the vender's specific quest.


 * Caxton - Idol Worship


 * Madeleine - Supplier's Demand

This means that Idols have to be given to the vendor in order to unlock items. Forgeries should not be given as nothing will be unlocked. Items unlocked stay unlocked regardless of playthrough. Meaning in New Game Plus, you can give a Gold Idol to the other vendor so to unlock everything.
