If you can open the portal and bring 2500lbs of wheat through (ie - a draft horse pulling a cart), then sell it for twice the listed rate (ie - in the middle of a desert), then you've just made 200gp. We'll call it 150gp on the assumption that you need to get back again.Incidentally <a href="http://www.igrain.com.au/listing/search/" target="_blank">http://www.igrain.com.au/listing/search/</a> suggests that I can get the required 100% markup point to point within modern day australia, where transportation is significantly easier, safer and faster than your typical medieval points of light monster world.And why would you bring through a single cart? 6 seconds and a 10 foot radius should be able to get you multiple cartloads. And you should be able to haul something worthwhile back again - even if it's just sand.Those ships you chartered cost 10,000-30,000gp each plus the price of the ports to support them and training their crew. Spending 18,000 to get instant secure travel seems like a bargain.</blockquote>
