"That is indeed the type of cargo I am intersted in....low volume, low weight and if the song favors us..a high profit margin..How much are you willing to part with in regards to the herbs and spices as well as the olive oil and of course, smiling, at what price"

"Well look captain, I don't want to stand around here in the heat and dicker prices all day, so let me give you my best price off the top. Time is money for me today.
I've got a 2000 pounds of black peppercorns that I'd let go for 18 silver a pound.
I've got two tons of pink sea salt from the gold coast in the western reach that I got a good deal on, that you can have for 4 gold a pound.
I've got 600 pecks of dried rosemary at 9 silver to the peck.
I've got 150 pecks of dried lavender at 4 silver to the peck.
I've got 300 pounds of garlic at 1 gp a pound.
I've got 1100 gallons of olive oil in gallon clay jugs for 2 gold each.
The figs I'll sell you for 2 silver a pound. Those I've got two tons of.
I've also got some wheels of aged cheese that I can let you have for 10 gold each. Their big, but I've only got 50.
I've got 2 dozen casks of olives in brine that I need 20 gold for.
That's virtually no profit at all for me. That's about what I paid for the stuff and I bargined hard for every bit of it."

"That sounds more than reasonable actualy.. that would be roughly 24200goldso shall we say an even 25000 for the entire lot with the request that your men help in the unloading and teh loading of the stores"

"You want the whole cargo? Well, that suits me fine. No reason for me to go on with a partial load, but you're getting the better of me. I gave you a low price to raise some cash thinking I'd sell the rest at a profit later after I got my ship fixed." She shrugs. "I guess I can't complain, with luck and the help of your workmen my ship will be almost as good as new and I'll have almost as much as I started with to find a new cargo." She laughs, "guess you've got a big ship, my Judith D was filled to the top with that lot."
OOC: The Retribution is considerably smaller than the Judith D especially since you've given over considerable cargo space to marines. Guess you better get that warehouse built.

"Now you put me in a quardry Captain, I dont mind making a fat profit but it seems i have accidently taken advantage of your plight....how about we just revise the offer to the spices and herbs as well as 200 pounds of the pepercorn, the cheese and the olives at the price you named. Does that sound fair to you"

"No actually I think i will be better off with just the revised purchase..but I will leave word with my factor that should you wish to sell more before you sail he may buy it. How does that sound"
oCC: Should not good little dm's be in bed snuggling with dogs and cats?

"Very well, I will tell the boys to get cracking just as soon as you have payment available. Your factor huh? Are you the Captain who's doing all the constuction here? I guess you must be since you have a monopoly on labor here. Anyway, I come through these parts a few times a year making the loop. I usually sail Western Reach, Wheelands, Sword Arm, Shield Arm and back home. I've never stopped in Tregere before as it is sort of off the map. After this trip I'm not eager to come back, but if you've a market for goods from the Reach I'd be happy to discuss future business over dinner. I can even aford to buy at a classy joint in exchange for your time."
OOC: I was by the time you got that last one up.

"Dinner sounds nice, i will have the payment for the goods at that time, do you prefer a bank draft or coin" Then pausing for a second.."Yes I will be in the market for goods from the Western Reach...perhaps we can conclude a mutually satisfactory agreement for the purchase and shipment of goods to and from the Western Reach. Would you care to dine this evening aboard the Retribution, I have a most excellent cook who loves it when i entertain at the last minute" Michael says smiling.
