  We have an Etyries merchant in our campaign, hired to run an auction for
a fabulous trade caravan just in from Kralorela. And she really needs her
100%+ Evaluate skill because the auction is largely in barter, with bids
like "Services of 127 Warrior Dragonnewts and their Demi-Birds for 1 Day,
employer to pick the time and place of service"
vs. others like "A piece of thumb-sized Blank Truestone". She has to
decide which bid is 'higher', without offending anyone...

  Anyway, the point is that barter can be fun.
