|QuestionText=Sweet mods, can you possibly give me a ballpark of how many numis would be reasonable to charge an individual on the street for such an item? (because of course Five isn't going to trust Kalim with the money side of this nonsense,)

|AnswerText=hahahaha<br><br>Depends on the size! The current going price of solid gold... It's about 1000 numis per gram. A gram looks like [https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/a80k5a/this_is_what_1_gram_of_gold_looks_like_in_my/ this]. (I needed Help understanding Gold Price and Envisioning a Gold Gram...) Sculpted into a beautiful feathers... If the feather weighs about a gram, it would be appraised for about 3000 numis! <small>(in my mind i am getting reference points from, say, [https://www.etsy.com/listing/1670130380/24k-pure-solid-yellow-gold-kitten-cat this], which is a hollow sculpture weighing about a gram. so.) But the more it's puffed up, the more money one can try to seduce from the coffers of the rich.</small> Call him an ARTISAN and that this is PAINSTAKINGLY HANDCRAFTED from his VERY OWN BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS and whatnot. Someone had to DIE for this feather. Kalim SLAVED over it. up to 5000nums could be at stake.<br><br>QUICK EDIT: It's a good thing Five is selling it on Kalim's behalf. If a Golem-type were to sell it themselves, they'd probably be low-balled since this is a crafted work. Karterians do not try to underpay service Servitons when there is a listed price on an item, but they'd try to underpay for their labor if it were being sold and made <i>by</i> them.<div class="edittime"><em>Edited <span class="datetime"><span class="comment-date-text"> </span> <span title="06:57 am (alogos's time)">2025-12-08 07:57 pm (local)</span></span></em></div>
