Clarence selling on his own, with his personal reaction penalties is only getting 30% of list on those used items.  He doesn't have a relationship with Benito, Anita does.  Were she in this world and not lost in Faerie,
 he could have a word for her and probably for a 10% cut get Benito to sell them at list price.

Yes, tracking that. Not looking to use other players advantages. But can he get that with barter?

the exchange rate based on wealth/appearance/ criminal background is only 30% of list on those items, which you can get... but it is possible to get non-fine armor that costs quite a bit less

In reply to Narrator (msg # 536):

And weighs more, which is the whole point of the expenditure. So that is a no, I can't find anyone to do it?

the total value of your offered goods is $87, which leaves you $93 in the hole -see if one of the others will loan you the difference, or do the trade for you.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 538):

Anyone else assist?

From which advnture thread?

By the lions mane...

Sorry, not involved in that story

Clarence, if you ask, I might be able to lend you some coin.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 543):

Clarence will ask once he realises he will be short. Help selling his items may be just as useful...

I'm no less ragged than you are.  I've got a bit of money from the last couple jobs, but I can't pass for upper class.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 545):

We got over $2.000 each with the silver, almost enough to but a cornucopia quiver...

you would sell at 40% rather than 30% which would bring the shortfall closer.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 543):

Hmmm, add in the small shield, looking at selling

He has $2150, jacket worth $2330, so $180 shortfall.

Large Knife                           $40
Lantern                               $20
Small Shield (Buckler), Heavy DB 1,   $35, 6.5 lbs
Heavy Cloak (Leather) DR 1vc          $90 3 lbs, DB 2
Leather Jerkin        DR 2*          $120 14.4 lb  (Torso, Upper arms and Shoulders)
Padded Sleeves        DR 1*           $20  2.4 lbs  (Elbows, Lower Sleeves)


Total value: $325 x 30% = $97.5, $325 x 40% = $130, still $50 short. Can anyone in our group sell for more that 40%?

Our share each was $1998. I believe the cornucopia quiver is worth $2010.

Cornucopia items inflated tremendously when DFRPG killed Quick & Dirty enchantment.  The cost of the enchantment alone was multipled by 25, plus cost of any materials.  It's game balance, of course, along with removing player character enchantment; characters have to keep adventuring to get money to spend on this stuff.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 549):

Yes, I am tracking that. Does Mario have one?

I have a Cornucopia quiver with an ordinary arrow in it -- legacy from chargen, when it was still a pretty cheap item (at least when it produces a cheap item like an arrow).  I'd like to get one that produces a silvered arrow, but the cost is huge...

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 551):

About $6,000 if I am not mistaken...

Sounds about right.  I'm saving up...

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 553):

Loans are actually not a bad way of saving, especially if interest is charged!

Two things required to make lending a good way to "save": reliable payback, and interest rate commensurate with risk.

Lending to adventurers seems a high-risk investment, hence needs a high interest rate.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 555):

True, but everything to do with Adventuring is high risk...

"Also, the money I might have had to lend just went to help pay for the start of closing off the sensitive areas below.  I'm down to a couple weeks of eating money at present.

"Seems like we need to start -- wait a second."  He pulls a ring of keys out of his pouch.

"We got these keys from the guys who work for the Plumber.  I'm not very interested in going back down there with the Flame Lord and folks who might well be a bigger threat than that, but I wonder if we could sell these keys for enough to close your gap?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 557):

a random set of keys without a specific lock go for $50.  If you had the locks too that would go for $500.  One is a level 2 gate key, you already have one of those, it is worth $50 by itself, so the large sewer key plus the assorted randos can get you $100.
