ooc: I hope I make this correctly

ic: The police force of my nation is glad to be able to announce that a major successful raid has been accomplished on my nations black market in gambling yesterday.

As we cannot condone this illegal black market our police confiscated the following items. Due to the fact that my economy is not really strong, in fact it imploded, the Secretary of Inner Affairs has handed over these items to our Secretary of Trade to sell them on the international market and make at least some good from these illegal items. As our nation has almost no defensive force at all, half of the money gained from this sale goes to the Secretary of Defense, the other half will be spent on wellfare.

The following items are on sale:

5,000 roulette tables, classic style, UNUSED, handcrafted oak, for 1,000$ each
2,000 USED for 500$ each

As said, our economy is very weak at the moment, so to keep up our state of wellfare we have to exploit our natural resources. One of our animals is the DEVELIM. It only exists in our lush forests and due to obvious reasons is left alone there most of the time. But due to our weak economy our goverment decided to send out poeple to catch some of these very rare animals.

This animal (a model for an 80ies movie, above shown in its natural habitat) is both a perfect pet (if you don't feed it after midnight etc.) if you already have everything else and a perfectly evil gift for a foreign leader and opponent (if you don't tell them how to treat it) because it will bring total chaos to their country (they shouldn't have microwave ovens though).

We have now 5,000 Develims to sell. Each will will cost 5,000$. Remember, this maybe a one-time occasion only, as the Develim now need quite a long time to reproduce to the number they had till now.

Also check your laws on importing foreign animals, before buying.

Come on, Dear Leaders of the World,
i know this a lot of crap but it's the only things we've got. why not support a young and struggeling nation on its way out of misery.

buy something fluffy for your wives and children or a toy for yourself or some distraction for your soldiers when they come back from battle. help your underdeveloped gambling industry and get some brand new gambling items.

please give us 89 tons of oak.So we can make them into cheap weapons.money wired on confirmation.

please give us 89 tons of oak.So we can make them into cheap weapons.money wired on confirmation.

ok, we can do that. ;-)
As one Roulette Table weighs 250 kg, 356 tables equal 89 tons. you'll get 400 for the prize of 356 as there is metal etc. included and it's not pure oak. we assume, you want unused tables to make better cheap weapons.
so this is 356 x 1,000$=356,000$

tables sent

oh, i forgot to say, there's another 34,000$ shipping. so it all sums up to 400,000$

last call for evil fluffy Develims.

If noone wants one we'll have to get rid of them. As we can't let them in the woods again we'll have to microwave them.
