Now, when figuring out whether or not you do, you run a skill challenge. If your character succeeds you succeed.Now, you want to be a master trader, great, you get to run the skill challenges.Notice how it all comes down to "run the skill challenges"?Great, so run a skill challenge. And ask your cousin just how long it would take him to sell, say a set of jewelry for worth 1 million dollars.Or it could be a skill challenge. I can understand if you don't want to role play and just want the game to tell you what happens outside of combat without you doing anything. But that game is not D&D. That game is progress quest.No, its not, and i've explained to you why its not stupid. I understand that you don't know what is going on when someone talks about economics, but you're wrong.Your option is "sell it fast and ignore it" or "run a skill challenge/quest to do so"No, its like saying you, with no economic training, without an understanding of what economics is, and without a clue about whether or not its makes the game more or less fun is complaining that the guys who made the game decided what the economy of the game would be like. You can think about ecology all you like, but you are here wanting goblins to be solitary creatures and we are here telling you that all of that is up to your DM, but the base rules set them as social creatures because its better for the game and makes more sense ecologically.Wait, so your "proof" against the definition of value is "i buy and sell stuff and i can't find something to buy for 20% in this specific market"There is value on each side of the equation. There is value to the seller and value to the buyer. Each one will buy or sell when the value of the item either exceeds what they are paying or receiving. Each actor has to account for a number of factors that are not just the value of the item(which modify the value of the item)This is very very very basic trade theory. Go learn it.</blockquote>
