10/1111 Glisten: Speculative Cargo

After looking around for a day, you come up with four possibilities for 
speculative cargo to buy...

(080) Starship Engine Parts. 22 dtons @ 250,000 base.
Buy mod In -2 => AVT modifier -2.
Sell mod Ni -2, Ri +2.
Actual asking price: 200,000 per dton

(088) Machine Tools. 10 dtons @ 750,000 base.
Buy mod In -5, Ri -4 => AVT modifier -5.
Sell mod Ag +1, Na +2, Ni +3.
Actual asking price: 300,000 per dton

(069) Construction Equipment (4 tons each). 6 dtons @ 75,000 base.
Buy mod In -4, Rii -2 => AVT modifier -4.
Sell mod Na +2, Ni +4, Po +4.
Actual asking price: 50,000 per dton

(055) Chemical Solvents. 20 dtons @ 20,000 base.
Buy mod Ag -1, Ni -1 => AVT modifier 0.
Sell mod In +4, Ri +2.
Actual asking price:  30,000 per dton

...you need to think about how well they might sell on Overnale, or 
perhaps Callia one jump beyond Overnale, and decide what and how much 
you will buy.

Repost!

OOC1: If Bob is too busy to make a recommendation on what 
cargo's you want to buy, could John or Greg do it?

OOC2: I think Greg (Sasha) wants ya'll to pool your cash to 
buy some spec cargo and share the profits (if any). Please, 
let him/me know if you're in and for how much ASAP.

OOC3: I need to get cargo, freight and passenger (see next 
post, and there is plenty to fill your hole and rooms) info 
from you folks and then we can get going.

Bob, Greg and I were talking--I thought the decision was made...but we'll go back.  Eris--what's on the charts as in demand for our next stop?

Overnale is an Ag, Ni world with a lower tech level. As such, 
it isn't a good place to sell Starship parts or the Chemical 
Solvents. OTOH, the other items you found could be good sellers!

  (088) Machine Tools. 10 dtons @ 750,000 base.
   Buy mod In -5, Ri -4 => AVT modifier -5.
   Sell mod Ag +1, Na +2, Ni +3.
   Actual asking price: 300,000 per dton
Comment: Probably too expensive for you to buy, but you'd have 
a +3 sell modifer on them if you sold them on Overnale.

   (069) Construction Equipment (4 dt each). 6 @ 75,000 base.
   Buy mod In -4, Rii -2 => AVT modifier -4.
   Sell mod Na +2, Ni +4, Po +4.
   Actual asking price: 50,000 per dton
Comment: A +4 sell mod and only 50,000 per dton with a 75,000 
base means you'd likely make good money on these "tractors" or 
"earth movers" or whatever they are.

I'd probably buy as many of the Construction Equipment crates 
as you can afford, but that's just me. ;)

OOG: That was my thought--but didn't have the actual data to run off of for Overnale. I'm lazy, I didn't look it up...and will post out later...

Krikor calls Sharda's comm.  "Sharda, I've looked over your recommendations. 
  I think you're right.  The machine tools are the best deal, but way too 
rich for us right now.  Even with the best deals we can cut, so let's go 
with your number two.  Get a line on all the construction stuff you can.  I 
think we can pool enough resources from the crew to get more of that H & Cie 
loan you looked over for me.  Oh, did you get Percy?"

"I know we talked briefly, but how much do you want to put in?"

After that call, he calls Paris and then the ship to see if he can get a Cr 
buy-in line from all the crew members...letting them know the proposition.

Paris' phone chirps. "Sasha!"

She listens. "Mark me in for 60k--that's what i've got available right now until we're reimbursed."

"We've got the reimbursements already, Paris," he says.  "I got the card 
from his lordship, and it has enough to get us started.  You still want to 
go 60?  Tell you what, I think 60 will cover what we need.  Don't do more 
unless it is a deal stopper."

"No, no showstopper--I"ll brief Issac on it, and spend what needs to be--we'll make up the difference one way or another, and if you need more, Sasha, just ask."

Somebody give me the total cash you're putting into the spec 
cargo, so I can finish the transaction. I'd like to blast you 
off from Glisten sometime before the summer ends. :)

OOG: Greg, you got my amount.  Go for it.  Put the deal together.

Krikor gathers the various cash instruments together, and the 9,000 credits 
in loose change and makes a deposit with HetCie.  He signs the other 
instruments for the loan, and the space they are renting, and so has 
KCr381.7 available for speculative cargo.

He has the capacity for carrying 73 dtons of cargo, minus 18 in the deal 
with HetCie, minus 1 per high passenger.  He lets Paris know that they'll 
take 8 high passage if she thinks she can handle it, plus 18 low passengers. 
  He also informs her he's taking Sharda and getting the construction 
equipment, and arranging for the delivery of 4 priority cargos to fill out 
the hold (15 dtons)

As for the money, he'll check with Leo Payton to see if he wants to put his 
20K into the investments, since they'd both mentioned it...  He doesn't need 
the money from him, but he's doing it out of courtesy to make better 
partnerships...

He has 181,700 credits from the crew, and 200,000 from HetCie, and so he'll 
purchase the construction equipment for the 300 thousand.

Desdaemona crawls out of an access hatch on the Ventral side of
the ship near Turret 2 in an attempt to get better reception on
her Comlink.

"You puts me down for twenty-five, I gots no where else to spends
it and am usually dresses like hobo because of working conditions."

OOG: Just as a note, Paris did order jumpsuits and coveralls for the maintenance team in various sizes and in neutral colors--its back there somewhere in all the purchase posts put out early on.
