"Good afternoon, everyone," Vala greeted the students as they entered, possibly eyeing Karal and Dean a little oddly, "and welcome to our second to last class. We'll be continuing our efforts to learn how to resell your acquired merchandise. Assuming that your identification and authentication go properly, it will be your job to get the best price you can for your item--whether it's in money, goods, or services that you need."

"Today's class will have two parts: First, I'd like to know what you would think would be important qualities for a, uh, resale merchant to have, and how you would be able to tell that he, she, or it is reputable." Vala, of course, was very equal opportunity. "Second, I would like for you to break up into pairs and try to sell an item of your choice--one of you will be the seller, and the other the purchaser. Obviously, sellers, you want to get as much as you can for your item--you almost worked very hard to get it, after all. Purchasers, you don't want to part with anything more than you have to."

"Have fun!"

"A good reputation," Karal said thoughtfully. "With other sellers and buyers, or with the guild, if there is one. Secrets can't be kept for long, so if someone is dishonest, or a cheat, others will know."

"And how would you go about this information, if you're new to the planet, or area?" Vala was definitely looking at Karal funny. It wasn't often you heard about someone falling asleep in the middle of...things.

She was looking at him oddly, but he didn't think it was such a terrible idea. "If there is a guild, then the hall will be easy to find, and part of their role is to give such information. If not, then approach other sellers first. Subtly sound them out about their competition, or failing that, conversation at the local tavern, or gathering place, might also yield it."
