Sodom Trading Thread: Complete Revamp 1/1/11!!!

[TeckXKnight]

I would like to buy 90 q70 clay, 1 q200 Bear Talisman, 1 q170+ Bear Cape, 1 q100+ Bronze Sword, and a set of q550+ Merchant Rings. This totals to 270+6+12+36+100 = 424 though please double check me.

I'd like to pay with 142 bars of <90 copper, which value at 426. Is this an acceptable trade?

Err, that's quite a lot of copper mostly bad quality

Is there nothing else you can offer? I really dont have much I can do with that copper except resell it, so to have so much is rather... :/

I could take maybe a chestful of bars, past that it's a bit much considering their low use.

Absolutely, though I might need to cut my order as we don't have the quantities of other goods lying around to compensate such a cutback.
So 1 lc of q65 copper bars so far. Would 8 q10 pearls be okay? And how much copper ore would you accept up to?

Hello, i want to buy thanes and a monocle (350 points total) for 60 silk threads q10+, 2 large chests and 49 bars of cast iron <q90 (351 points total). I can add some cavebulbs instead, if you don't need so much iron =)
p.s. I can't travel to Constantinople.

We talked in IRC, I have the rest of the order already documented too.

Iron is fine as low quality cast has many uses and can be consumed without fuss. The problem with copper/tin is that there isn't much of a sink for them unless made into bronze; and even then cast is easier. Trying to find uses for those sorts of things though

HI,
I will buy 3lc of q80 soil, thimbles, merchant rings...soon as your ready..

I have lc,pearls, wrought iron...

Thx,
Dom

Anyway i can get the other stuff before the soil?? instead of waiting til my turn for that?

[Tacheron]

You say you buy unbaked dough. Do you accept pumpkin pies and pumpkin bread?

We have a big batch ready, we were stocking up to do a bigger trade with the Goons.

[DatOneGuy]

I hope you've checked with them after they've closed their store to make sure they're still taking.

And yeah I'll take pumpkin pie/pumpkin bread dough, swimmers gonna swim.

[spectacle]

Did you get my PM? I'm looking to buy q90 bricks.

[REWB]

OK, I don't know if I understand this or not (but I'm trying)....

15 of your point's for a bar of steel...but at what Q? What does wall grade mean? I have some mixed 60's Q steel on hand I can trade for some soil, I'll give you 3 or 4 bar's max per large chest at this grade. If this is ok with you put me down for 2 of the large chest's of the 80+Q soil and let me know when your ready to do the trade.
The Q of my steel will do nothing but go up in the coming day's so the 60's Q will soon be under my lowest Q, unless we lose track of the tick count on the cooker's and get a low Q by mistake we will be well over this Q with all steel produced. This will only make it more valuable and I will not be able to extend the same offer for the same amount of soil, we will not discus this any more as it is not now but in the time to come, I only wanted to keep thing's in the open.

Thanks

I don't trade in high quality steel is what I mean.

I will speak with the other merchants and see if we should accept it or sell it, but the general consensus before was not to bother, for the same reason high quality steel armor/swords aren't on that list.

The price is because natural resources are in demand, as you see on the first day I have 4LCs+ of q80+ soil asked for, I can only dig so much a day I also have a trade for 2LCs of it prior to this thread.

As for steel per LC of soil, 1 LC of soil goes a long way, a lot farther than 4 steel when you can easily produce steel in batches of 12 or more to make those 2 1/2 days spent actually very lucractive. The thing with higher quality steel is that if we want high quality steel, we make high quality steel. Unless someone was offering say q150+ steel it wouldn't be worth much to go out of our way to purchase it as it means nothing with it, we can't use it for selling armor or weapons for obvious reasons.


As it stands:
7 Steel Bars ~= 1 LC q80+ Soil

If I offered you a 2x rate on q60+ steel that would:
A)Throw off prices, steel is very easy to produce at that quality, I often use q50~70 steel for gates that I buy, so I know there's a lot of it out there and it's very very common
B)The steel prices already assure that if you spend your time and do let's say 30 smelters, you could buy a lot of items. If I added a multiplier it would only hurt people as I'd have to lower the price on lq steel for the multiplier to work.

As it stands if you do 30 smelters (common for lq/midq steel), that's 60 Steel Bars
60*15 = 900 Pts
As you see that leaves me with a possible problem as steel is very easy to massproduce and in fact should always be mass produced unless you're specifically doing high quality.

Perhaps this is unfair, perhaps it isn't, I'll bring up the point to all our merchants, and we can also discuss this in PMs between me and you.

Does this mean you want more for the monocle now? ...
And aside from the monocle im interesting in getting a bear cape and leather pants. ill pm you on irc sometime DoG

Our price was set prior to this thread, so it stands as it was. Monocle prices raised since I'm not a silk maker and didn't grasp the price of silk of that quality, I underpriced it greatly.

OK then, I'll bark up another tree
