Skyder and Riop,
As far as a fixed price for the runner:
I have copied a section from a post I made on page 6.
************************
I often find myself in some remote location that took some time to get to. While there I'm collecting different things and unfortunately find that my bank is again full. So I'm left with a choice of either just dropping some stuff or taking the long trip to the G.E. and back. Being that the time it will take to sell some junk is hardly worth the trip I just start dropping things to clear space. We've all been there too many times.
The times I would really like to employ a runner is for the lower priced items that I really don't care much about the few gps I'll get but feel somehow shorted by having to just drop them.
I feel strongly that the runner shouldn't be a free service and feel a 10% fee should be charged for the service. With this in mind it's unlikely I would use the service for a days work monkfishing but absolutely would to sell the 143 willow logs, 118 acorns, 31 empty pots, and 238 feathers I just found in my bank.
**************************
The idea of the runner was to help clear your bank of clutter, not entirely replace the need for going to the GE to sell.
With this in mind, if the price for the service were a fixed price, what would that price be?
Too low and folks would use it for everything, too high and it completely defeats the purpose I described above.
Thanks for your input.
