A boast of laughter as another bidder went with the dear Jacobs, to the point where she could hardly control herself and by the time she recovered umpteen more bids went flying through the room over random other things. This was fun, Triam wished she could have thought of this a long time ago! She decided to REALLY piss them off and go by an increment of 2!
Ah the balls on her! How dare she make the bidders pay more money than necessary! Ha, as long as she didn't actually have to pay for it she was cool with it.
She could pay for it obviously, as soon as she got the appropriate shipments to her boss, Popo... who seemed to have deigned around here as well. At the moment of course, she was betting a little more than what she had, but that was minor. Then she thought about... then she really thought about it. So far her running price for Phrik was at 25,000 credits a kilo... and thus 2 million credits would equal to 80 kilos of the stuff. Maybe she could up the ante of her payment with contracts for her mining business. Of course she didn't want to continuously getting the same contracts over and over again...
Lamanium! She had never gotten Lamanium before! That wold be a most interesting hunt indeed, as if memory recalls they were on specialized droids to hunt Yuzhaan Vong or whatever they were spelled. How much would that go for? Well it might be difficult to mine, and probably isn't found any where else other than one of those droids. If 25,000 was the standard, then perhaps this should be 40,000 per kilo. She had in her "treasury" somewhere in the range of 1.2 mil and 1.3 mil she would be willing to lose. So what if she bid 1.2 mil safely each time, and just increased how much specialty material she would promise via contract? That meant that right now she would require...
At least 20 kilos of Lamanium... well that was pretty good! And she had some room to make that figure grow, since she could fit at most 25 kilos in her pack. Perfect! Also, if the fun was to continue, she could offer up her busted Phantom Fingers from her fight with Ashin, that might be worth something to someone. Like an antique piece of art or something... as after all, people have bought literal "paintings" composed entirely of the color blue for unimaginable prices. Why not a broken worthless item? Even if not for that, it had salvageable bits that could be melted down for other things.
She raised her glass, "1.2 mil, but I'm offering a contract for 20 kilos of Lamanium worth 800,000 credits, for a date with Spencer Jacobs." She couldn't help but giggling hilariously. She didn't even know if that was "legal" since she lowered the money figure, even if she offered an almost equal amount in material worth right next to it. Let's see who would top 2 million!
