I gather tailoring supplies where blackberries grow, and so could certainly pick a couple boxes. The effort involved seems comparable to gathering silk or aloe, so does 2500 per box seem fair?

Aviris,

I request you do as I initially asked and state your asking price so I can confirm delivery or deny the service, please and thank you.

Drexia,

Seems a bit much if you're going out there anyway though. 2500 is the price asked for cherries and corn oil unless prices went up from the last time I asked for this sort of thing. Atleast those were the prices for me.... I offer 1800 per as my counter offer.

Perhaps I overstated the simplicity of picking these berries.
Blackberries grow on thorny bushes, which means I must take time to mend my gloves and clothing.
Even small blackberries, in the quantities you are asking for, get quite heavy, meaning I can gather fewer of the supplies I need for my own use.
If the price I ask is too much, perhaps we could barter? I think two malar hides in exchange for two boxes of berries should be fair, or perhaps a number of dire bear or dire tiger?

Drexia,

If you can tell me where to find Malar hides in this day and age perhaps I would be willing, however The only place I know of simply is not worth two mere boxes of berries. Dire bear may be more appropriate. How many do you require? Keep in mind what I'm asking for. If an adventurer of great skill finds it a hassle to pick simple berries perhaps some training is in order

1,800 jink for a box of blackberries is fine with me, Rhynn, if you'll allow me to do the second box for you.

Aragon,

And apples are about 8 times easier than blackberries to get

*she sighs, thinking she may as well just do this herself*

Kinai,

Fine.

Rhynn,

I do not know who this "Aragon" you speak of is, but perhaps if you have preconceived ideas about what you are willing to pay for each box of said items then you should post it, rather than leaving us to guess at your magical number. Until I receive your counter offer I will await word.

//AH! Opps >_< Sorry please disregard my mistake I apologise.

ycleption · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2007, 06:59:18 PM »

Forgive me if I was asking too much, haggling is not my strong suit. I just know that malar sell for about 2000 each, and so thought it might be a compromise.
Given what I have heard the dire bear sells for, would four or five hides per box be fair?

LynnJuniper · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:05:31 PM »

Final prices have been put on the original posting. If you don't like them don't respond if they are not satisfactory, Ill just do it myself.

Interia_Discordius · « **Reply #13 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:17:05 PM »

I will take care of the box of chestnuts also.

Rhynn,

I assume this means you do not wish to barter then? I wish you had been up front with your prices, I dislike being made to feel that I am greedy for trying to come up with a fair price that is more than you are willing to pay. I apologize if I am ignorant of the market prices on berries, I don't eat much fruit myself. However, if you honestly believe that these are fair prices, then I will certainly pick the boxes for you at 1800 per.

Thank you for your services Miss Drexia, I assure you I in no way meant to belittle you or cause you to feel greedy as you so put; it is only natural for the one performing the service to desire more pay and the one paying to desire less True from their pocket. 'Tis basic economy. However, my price seems satisfactory to you, therefore I accept your offer.

*in addition, she puts a check next to blackberries, chestnuts and apples*

Interia_Discordius · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2007, 02:25:53 PM »

Rhynn,
I will also take care of your box of wheat flour, corn/oats split, pecans, and cherries.
