Actually, you know what this sounds like? It sounds like the kind of order a merchant/reseller would make

I'm agreeing with Arthur on this one -- and if the customer doesn't take it well, you could allways reluctantly agree, -- for 50 million credits and a transfer of $250 USD to your paypal account that is

Wow now that's a strange order. Sounds like someone wants to put in a clothing vendor w/o becoming a tailor themselves. I might go ahead and do it but I'd want at least 50% of the total fee up front before I ever craft a single item since that is going to take some time. And I'd make sure that they understand that it's gonna take a while to make all that.

At one point in time that would have raised an eyebrow but then I came to realize the some people are just clothes horses. I had a customer that I would do 6 hours fittings with on almost a daily basis. It was alot of fun as we both enjoyed clothes. She's a tailor now too. 8) I also had someone ask me to make them one of everything in every color, minus wookie clothes. Unfortunately I had to turn that order down as it would have taken too much time away from other customers and my shop. I do have to agree though, on strange orders like that you do want to do something to ensure you get paid. Asking for some of the money up front is probably a good idea.

Putting use to white cubes? hehe
Personally, the weirdest non-armor request I've recieved was actually from a close friend. He wants me to make him a krayted DL44 (And I'm going to do it too)

hell yea...the Dl44 is an underrated weapon along with the Power5. both are good selling pistols for me, and both I can get just as stronger or stronger than a reb blaster...
