IC trade organization post

To facilitate the spread of supplies, requested goods and goods available for trade may be listed here. ALFIE SOLOMONS may be contracted as broker for an additional fee to be negotiated by the parties involved. Brokerage services may include:

Negotiation of the trade deal
Enforcement of the pre-arranged terms of the trade deal
Delivery of goods

Once an agreement has been reached, the broker will require a small nonrefundable deposit, to be paid as soon as possible. Full payment will be due once the trade has been completed.

Participants must be aware of the risk involved in trade in Norfinbury, including but not limited to significant delays caused by unforeseen town activities and the disappearance of trade goods to due the deaths of one or more participants. The broker will be responsible for making a good faith effort to see a deal done, but cannot give a 100% guarantee of success. The initial deposit is nonrefundable regardless of the outcome of the deal, except in cases of negligence on the part of the broker. If a trade fails or is cancelled for any reason, final payment will not be required. Purposeful failure to uphold any part of an agreed-upon brokerage deal will result in future blacklisting from brokerage services.

The broker will not act as an enforcer for deals made by parties who do not hire him as broker from the onset, and no protections or guarantees will be given in these cases.


[OOC: WELCOME TO TRADEAPALOOZA. As you can probably tell, this is an IC trade organization post and brokerage service run by Alfie Solomons. IC discussion of any kind is totally welcome - just make sure it's under the right header! On an OOC level, it's like the player-placed items page in that it's an independent player-run thing and not managed by the mods. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me OOCly at [plurk.com profile] ihdreniel or through PM!

2/9/17 ADDENDUM: Since Alfie has been outed as the guy who stole House's supplies and characters might no longer trust him to see their supply lists/broker trades, I'm just adding a reminder that comments to this post can be filtered from him!]

Because she asked for stuffed animals, too. She's going to refuse to trade with him for them.

She also wants fake animals? [House might recognize the signs of alarm in Ecks by now. She's even ignoring her conversation with Alfie for the moment to hyper focus on what House is saying.]

I am not going to tell him to trade with another person who also wants them.

What did I just say? She's going to refuse to trade with him.
ecks: (shocked! shocked I say!)

[That would be reassuring if it was even the slightest bit logical.]

Why? Why would she do that if she also wants them?

I told her I want her help screwing over Solomons after he gave his pet half-elf the scalpel that bastard used to murder me. Pathos.

[That is technically true, even if Steph didn't agree because of that.]

He did what.

[Guess who didn't know that, House.]
rubikscomplex: (facepalm | but why???)

[Oh, right. He hadn't told her that, either. House shrugs. If she gets upset and tips Alfie off, that's going to ruin the hustle.]

He's an asshole. Don't be surprised and tell him no deal, go talk to Steph to peddle his ill-gotten wares. And don't tell him you know about that.

I do not want fake animals from a person who helped kill you.

[That's a blatant lie. Even as she says it her gaze is drawn back to the conversation with Alfie, and she feels a guilty thrill as she makes her selections. Maybe she should not have dealt for a second, but there are still three animals to go. Maybe she can keep it to herself and House won't catch it.]

I will tell him no deal.

[The next time, that is.]

Forget about the fact that he helped kill me. Tell him no deal, wait for Steph to tell him no deal, then let him come back to you. Might be a bit if he tries to shop 'em around.

[In reply, Ecks lets out a long, low groan. She does not want to tell him no deal and wait for "a bit" while Alfie tries to sell her fake animals to other people. Worse than that, she cannot do the other thing he has just told her to do. Forgetting is not possible.

She spends a moment trying to coax Alfie into making another offer, only to be stymied.

He is not making an offer.
