[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 5299399, member: 17691"] I'd just like to point out that selling something for its regular price isn't undue profiteering; these wands do represent, at minimum, a costly investment of time and expensive resources after all. Hiking up the price above its usual cost to capitalize on the misfortune of others; now that [I]would be[/I] profiteering. If there's a desire to be unusually charitable however then it'd be a simple matter to reduce the price below its normal sale value; 50% represents a non-profit sale margin. Even charities have to cover their expenses after all. ;) That being said, if we do decide to keep both wands, what do [I]we[/I] do with them exactly? If we're of a mind to simply hand one or both wands over to a church or physician for free, then we might as well simply walk around, knock on the doors of the sick and use the wand(s) ourselves to cure the ill; that way we'd at least be certain that they'd being used judiciously for their intended purpose. Even physicians and churches are capable of corruption after all. Dj'hân objects to the notion of simply holding onto both wands and not using them on the off chance we'll need to cure ourselves and our allies 50+ times. Sitting on a stockpile of curing magic during a plague seems excessively paranoid and unconscionable. [/QUOTE]
