[The Rock Doctor]

Subject to clarification on the nature of her armor, the dwarven battleship Durin would be of interest to the Republic of Gran Colombia. 

[Ithekro]

All vessels listed here have Harvey-Nickel Armor (one step below Krupps Armor).

[The Rock Doctor]

The Republic of Gran Colombia then offers $1.65, payable in H2/09 for Durin, with the assurance that the vessel will not be subsequently sold to third parties.

[Sachmle]

Naciones Unidas de Suramerica offers $11 for Thorin, Tarondor, Tarcil, Araval, Argeleb, and Arvedui. Payable as $5.5 2HY/09 and 1HY/10. We would also be interested in Brego, Thengel, Gram, Aldor for $13.6 payable as $6.8 2HY/10 and 1HY/11. If this is not agreeable please recommend a counter-offer.

[Ithekro]

Bidding will remain open until Satuday evening with confirmations sent out on Sunday to the winners.  If there are more bids the earlier bidders will be given a chance to counter bid before that time.

[The Rock Doctor]

The cheque is in the mail.

Where can Durin be picked up?

[Ithekro]

Pickup location is San Francisco-Umbar.
