    Hello, it's Bluey again! With the help of you buyers and a little hard work, we were able to expand our operation and construct a refinery on site! This means no more selling raw iron ore for me, From now on I'll be selling mild steel.

    The steel is molded into slabs, measured at 102 x 25 x 5 cm. Each slab weighs 100 kg, each crate containing 10 slabs. This puts each crate at a weight of 1 metric ton, excluding the weight of the crate itself.

    I'll be selling at a price of 550.00/ crate, straight to my ship. You can come and pick them up yourself, or pay a 50.00 shipping fee and I'll bring them right to you!

    >Crates_Available: 55 (20 reserved)
    >Last_Updated: 6/4/14
    >Total_Sold: 85
    >Total_Profit: 54,750.00

    Offering. I'd also like to purchase this. 10,000 for the lot. Pickup can be made if necessary.

    ...
    10... 10 thousand? Seriously?
    ...

    I'm really sorry @JR, but .... well I really need the cash, and I'd be stupid to pass up on offer a thousand bucks higher than my asking price...

    I'll try and get some more crates ready for sale soon, okay? :)

    So @Astora, thank you so much! You're offering so much, I'd be happy to deliver it right to your door. Where am I delivering too?

    Please take the goods to the colony of Taranis. The co-ordinates are publically available. From there, the Templar cruiser will direct you to Forgeworld Gryphon. Thank you for your prompt service. This may just be the beginning of a much more lucrative business venture.

    Oh man... Wow, I' guess we're going to need to expand our operation to fulfill these requests ...
    Thank you for the business! I'll make sure to supply @JR with the stated 15 first, then I'll ensure we meet your order as well!
    Thanks again!

    I'm developing a multi-specialized company in the Gamma sector soon, and I need at least... hmmm... 50 metric tons of your steel to build the headquarters (my monetary advisor gets incredibly P.O.'d when I suggest we convert pixels to steel blocks). I will pay 18k now, and 18k on completion of delivery.

    I demand a discount for being passed over like a chimp. Catering to line-jumping gronads isn't how you do business or keep customers.

    And hey, line-jumping gronad: I hope your Tarawhatsit topples to the ground after you use carbon steel as load-bearing support you tin head.

    Amused. Demanding discounts of a business owner isn't how you do business, nor get discounts.

    @Jr You're right, I'm sorry. That was pretty rude of me. I guess the money was just really tempting, I mean, 1000 bucks is a lot of money ... a lot of money which I need.

    I'm not exactly good at business, it's just sorta ... well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
    I really don't have much financial stability, a discount is hard for me to do, but I could ... would a crate free suffice? As an apology?

    Fine. That you were willing to even try is enough of a sign of good faith for me, so forget the free crate. Just give me 20 tonnes at your normal price when you've got 'em and we'll be square.

    And laugh it up, you line-jumping shazzbat. I'm getting my goods for less than what you paid for regardless; you're the one advertising to the galaxy what a piece of kartaak you are by gloating. Didn't they teach you manners or that honour stuff in rust bucket kindergarten? Go back because you've obviously forgotten both.

    @Jr Really? Thank you! Sure! We'll work hard over here to try and spit out 20 tons by tomorrow! I'll ... I could bring them anywhere you want and waive the delivery costs okay?

    Again, I'm really sorry.

    Okay I'm here again!
    Currently sitting on 20 crates, ready to go.

    @JR Whenever you're ready, I'll wait at Liberty Mills, and you can pick them up from my ship, alright? 20 crates, at 550/crate ..
    That'll be 11,000.00. That sound okay?

    @Misfit Sure that's no problem ... So 25.5 crates? We can't really split them in half, I guess you could just take 5 lose slabs.. yeah. Alright so, that'd come to 14,025.00 once I get the rest together for you. Right?

    ... Uh.
    Well thank you a lot, I guess I won't ... refuse such an offer. Are you sure though? Wouldn't 15,000.00 be just as easy?
    If you're going to pay so much anyway ... at least let me deliver!
