Planning For Caves
With just this little show, every single merchant had focused on the ten horned toad merchant group merchants. Even a few of the guards had made a move to ensure that they would stop any shouting or fighting. But most of all, the price of selling a falsely appraised object at an auction had to be paid.
Not only would the offender need to pay back the price they had just made, but the merchant in question or the merchant group would be fined by the city. This was a very common law for any of the auction houses anywhere. Yet, in Terra it could be the end of any merchant.
The fines were large because it was the merchants duty to ensure a proper appraisal. It had to be properly sold for what it was. That it being any object for sale. Whether it was a beast egg or a simple apple. There was a rule for merchants here.
