A simply written notice left on the boards that reads as follows.
"My most skilled and hard working mining friends. I am in desperate need of copper ignots. And have been having a hard time aquiring them, at a reasonable price. ( The average being qouted to me is between fifty and a hundred true. ) I can not afford this, but desperetaly need the material. I have tried bartering for goods, but to no avail.
I do not wish to say you miners and smithys do not do very hard work, with much physical toil. You have every right to be proud, you are in many ways the root of all industry and commerce here in Hlint. However, many of us unable to mine ourselves are at a bit of a loss. We can not afford these prices. And when someone thinks a Gnomish Lense per ignot of copper is a fair trade, well there is obviously something wrong.
So please, I ask you miners, to relieve this scarity of these much needed materials, and help drop the demand that causes these prices in Hlint. So I propose this, I can make poison, silk thread, cloth bolts, empty flask, and a host of other tinkering, poisoner, and tailor goods. So, I shall offer any miner who agrees to sell copper ignots at a fair market price of ten True, a rate of only twenty five percent of the Lense of Pricing cost on any item I sell. I hope this will make it easier for you to get materials you need, and encourage you to mine surplus copper that us Tinkers and others could use, and at a fair price.
Thank you.
- Uilliam SeeksPeace.
P.S. I hope others will offer the Smithys and Miners these same terms, so we can bring more Copper and other metals onto the market. Thanks."
