Dinner with Giraldii
Tomorrow afternoon is fine, I will have to go to the bank tomorrow and cash one or two of the letters of credit i have at my disposal. Now i really would like to deal with the Arms and Armour but i have done some mental calculations and before we get to the haggling I ask you to think of what advantage it would be to me to pay full market prices such as you have asked for the arms and armour, then undergo their shipping costs etc. do you think we can perhaps look for a discounted price on them ?

The man smiles obviously excited at the prospect of a good haggle. "Well Captain, first of all my responsibility is not to play to your advantage, but to mine. However, to answer your question, this is an expensive market we are in. What might pass for fair market price in some mountain city full of smiths is quite different than a fair price here where fuel and raw material for a forge must all be shipped in and the forge itself has to be specially constructed to protect the wooden ship that houses it."

"True, so very True...but should we not be able to come to an agreeable price on the lot, then i will just have to purchase a few of the items listed. Ideally however, I do wish to pruchase them for lets say 7500 gp..."

The pirate raises a glass. "7500, well now we are getting down to an offer with some merit. I think you'll find that these goods are worth more than that. I would say that perhaps 11,000 would not leave me completely destitute. As we've discussed my people would bring the gear to you and that is an added expense."

"Alas 11,000 will eat deeply into my current coffers and perhaps preclude the purchase of the hulls we were to speak about...so shall we discuss amrs alone or hull alone or perhaps a combinationf of the two

Doing a quick calculation in his mind Michael comes to the conclusion that as he needs to add weapons and such to the ships armour as well as trade good, he will be daying at least 20 percent from the common price. That is not to bad. Strectchin forth his hand, Michael will say "Done" "Now please tell me about the hulls/"
