A letter is sent to Tugs Sunnytoes, addressed to his home from the Coalition
Dear Mister Tugs,
Due to the historical value of the cloak, we could not accept such an offer. However, if a more mundane version of the cloak is desired at that price, it will be provided with pleasure. Otherwise, we thank you for you interest, but cannot let the cloak go at a fraction of its value.
Sincerely,
The Coalition
//If no other offers are made, the item will be put in storage until it can be sold nearer the desired price. Apologies for not setting a starting price
