Sorry, i just speak a little english, but wanted to tell a story.
After having passed many time travelling from planet to planet in search of animals and adventures i decided that i needed a little more stability in my life.
I started the career of Merchant and opened a small mall in Coronet, Corellia. It's named "Holocron Mall" in hommage to the small ancient device that suggested to me this change in my life.
One of the daily obligations of a merchant is to investigate the market. Every day i keep an eye in the interplanetary trade commodity exchange(1) and contact my providers to ask for the strange petitions some of my best (and whealty) customers have sent to me by mail (rich armorsmiths willing to buy hides or bones of rare animals, strange hermits willing to buy colored crystals and many other customers looking for non-strictly-legal weapons or spice, amazing
bio-engineered pets, etc).
bio-engineered pets, etc).
One day an ad in the trade exchange attracted my attention. A person have posted that he would like to sell two Graul Maulers, everybody knows that a mauler is a very common pet but in a impulse i opened the thread. The seller was saying that he had two graul maulers for
sale and posted some of the stats. At first i have thought that the seller was doing a mistake. The stats where not correct. Lvl 56? About 400-600 dmg? A graul mauler? My first impulse was to close the thread and continue browsing but the same inner voice said "but if..." I posted immediately a message in the trade exchange suggesting that there were a possibility that the pets he where selling where not exactly what they seemed.

Every Creature Handler knows tales about exctint as babies, one of the mightiest of them is the Frenzied Graul, a monster of amazing power and very strong skin, with the ability to hit a wide area stunning and opening wounds to his adversary. I have posted a message saying that perhaps the grauls where more valuable than the seller thought. After a fast posting of messages we found the truth:
there where two Frenzied Grauls for sale, at 100/100 vitality.
The seller was a Bounty Hunter hermit. He had these pets in his datapad and tamed it before the general loss of reproductive capacity of this pets. He was willing to sell it but he said he wanted millions. In an impulsive move i sold some valuable assets, gathered all my savings and several rare items and made him an offer... There is ever a possibility to tame a rare, but not an extint
You can see the results

nice.... So what your saying is that you could have bought them as Graul Maulers for cheap... but instead you told him they were extinct & paid through the nose for them? Ok. good job.

Ah common. I thought it was a nice bit of role playing. Much better than the usual "OOOOOH! LOOKIE WHAT I GOTS!"
BTW- love the Satchel quote. Get Fuzzy has to be the best comic strip since Calvin and Hobbes.
