I looked into this today having recently got into Post-Game - initially he wasn't selling it to me, but my Affinity with him wasn't particularly high. Thus, I gave him a load of Beast-Steak, and as soon as the 'Affinity chime' was heard (and he got the blushed cheeks), the Veteran's (and Banker's) Periapt appeared in his stock. So Max Affinity isn't required - he had no 'pink aura'; just the affinity level below that is needed.

So I don't think the Affinity is your problem, though I still don't have an explanation as to how you got it outside of Post-Game, unless it remains in his stock throughout NG+?
