"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!"

"Five dollars a slice," Gavin said. That seemed like a good price to start a negotiation. No way would he pay five dollars for pizza.

"Oh, hell's no. Is it baked in gold dust?" John asked.

"It's made of the finest ingredients in the land!"

"What kind of fine ingredients are we talking about here?"

"Good ones," Gavin hedged. "Really good ones. Tasty ones!"

John decided he should counter at some point. "How 'bout a dollar a slice?"

"It cost me nearly triple that to make the pizza!" Gavin shook his head. "I can't accept any less than four dollars."

"You got ripped off for the ingredients, man," John shook his head. "I can't see paying that much for just a piece of pizza."

"I'll throw in...extra cheese."

"Um...no."

"Then, I'm keeping my pizza!" Which wasn't the point of the exercise at all.

"I didn't want to buy it anyways," John was also missing the purpose of the assignment.

"Fine, then!" Getting the last word crossed galaxies, apparently.
