I was going to pick someone up for a free port and bc I ported to the area
to get him, I got some paying customers as well. and I was wanting to get
rid of a robe that I found an upgrade for. Before I could port away someone
advertised they were looking for a robe. I told him the stats and he offered
a price. I lowered the price slightly so he could have some money left over.
But I still made a good profit. :-)
Oh, I also got to sell a weapon that I'd picked up for a good amount of
coin.
luv,
