Mercatores - week 8

[logicticus]

sell 1 wine in roma

[Mad Jackal]

Raffles. While I appreciate the offer for my bricks, I wish to reconsider.

My agent in Roma assures me he will buy my bricks at 75 each and then turn around to sell them to you for 100 making a tidy profit for himself of 25 per brick.

While I do not want him to make a 25 profit I don't think it behooves me to only take 5 of the profit and leave 20 for you.

Consequently, I sumbit 4 bricks for 350 coins would be more agreeable and request that you also agree to buy me 10 lumber next week to sell to me at 90 per.
For that I could also guarantee you an amount of bricks at 87.5 per next turn.

Is that fair? Post your trade offer if you like what I'm saying and I'll accept.

[Mad Jackal]

Posting as an update at the end of the thread to show I'm still in the trading phase and let everyone know what I've got.

I'd like to split the profit on brick equally with anyone else who wants or could use brick. I'll even sell all 10 (noticing I still have some "offers" that have no been responded too. Leptopus for example with whom I spoke with today has yet begun to buy...

I'll trade you some coins for 2-3 bricks

Edit: Does 160 coins for 2 bricks sound fine to you?

[Mad Jackal]

Mad Jackal, I meant to say "buying", waiting until everyone was done buying. I wasn't entirely sure we could trade yet.

Money Balance: 10000 - 940 = 9060

Accept Trade #84.

I now have 100 coins, 1 wine and 2 grain.

Sell 1 wine to the Alpes.

I'm done for the week with 12100 coins and 2 grain.

One small bit. If the 9060 number is right, our trade processed at 8860 which would leave 200 coins not 100 coins.
Which would be 12200 coins and two grains .


again, assuming my math and assumptions are correct.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Thanks for a hundred coins!

[Raffles]

Mad Jackal - scratch that. I don't wish to buy bricks anymore.

4 Timbers going up for sale. Asking price: 95 a piece.

[HackerHuck]

@Sprontalic: For next week, I would again be interested in the slave for marble trade at 4:1 up to 20 total slaves.

[Raffles]

Mad Jackal changed my mind again, I'll do you your deal...

[Mad Jackal]

I'll trade you some coins for 2-3 bricks

Edit: Does 160 coins for 2 bricks sound fine to you?

bird1111, my notes show you have started to sell and thus would not be able to trade with me. But I'll look at it anyway and we can table it to next week if I'm right. OK ?

Raffles. I'm easy. You post the trade offer (especially as I don't know the number you need), and if it's the equitable terms, then I'll accept. I would prefer the number you buy leave me enough to fufill my posted (not bolded) offer to leptopus, but it doesn't have to. He may just have to miss out if he doesn't get to trading soon.

You don't have to lock into buying bricks next week if you don't want, and you don't have to lock into selling me timber if you'd prefer not to. I realize that it looks like I can sell the timber for 5 more than 90, but I need the timber, so it really is that I'm getting it for 10 less than what I could pay Roma to it.

[bird1111]

Huh? I haven't sold anything, only bought and traded

[Mad Jackal]

Thanks for a hundred coins!

well since I didn't have them I figured you 'did'.. You can pay-pal the 10% finders fee anytime tonight.



Besides, if you beat me by those 100 coins I'll eat my hat.

[Raffles]

My timber is now off the market.

Leptopus Remember to fully complete your buying before you agree to this trade, but I think it has merit for both sides.
