I've been at work in my auction house, and since we're probably due to leave soon, I thought I'd open my stores for anyone who wants to own a historical, multi-million dollar weapon or artifact.

I can't take it all with me.

	Got anything from the 18th century? Maybe around 1717? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	From 1717 specifically, I have a French Infantry Flintlock Musket and a Japanese Naginata. But if you were looking for anything specific, I could get my hands on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing specific, really. ~~Unless your auction house deals in old robes~~ Mostly just curious what you might have from -- I've heard it called the Golden Age of Piracy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Items from that era always fetch a pretty penny ~~because my buyers like to pretend that they're pirates and like to wave a sword around~~. It probably would be quicker for you to drop by. It's your era, you'd be familiar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can do that, thanks. I don't get homesick often, but it'd be nice to have a few familiar things around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, a few ship miniatures ought to help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2022-08-14 05:57 am UTC (link)
	You have ship models? Don't suppose you have any sextants or astrolabes as well? I'm sure it's too much to wish for something from the age of space travel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	helstrom_ 2022-08-14 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Plenty of sextants and astrolabes, each with their own story. I have a prototype of one of the earliest Soviet-era space suits, but I wouldn't put it to the test in the vacuum of space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2022-08-14 06:05 am UTC (link)
	I'll come by and take a look. They always have a story, don't they? I was hoping for something post-first contact, but I'll take a look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More so when you're psychometric. You'll have to tell me. There's still a whole storeroom I haven't checked out yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2022-08-14 06:47 am UTC (link)
	I'll check it out and let you know if I recognize anything. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ship models are all yours. Unless she's got Stede's. Might keep it, might smash it to pieces, not sure yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2022-08-14 06:19 am UTC (link)
	I used to have a model of a coastal tops'l schooner in my quarters. Built it myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	edbeard 2022-08-14 06:36 am UTC (link)
	And here I thought I didn't have a type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2022-08-14 06:48 am UTC (link)
	Maybe you just attract a certain type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	edbeard 2022-08-15 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Can't complain, it's a pretty good type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2022-08-15 10:44 am UTC (link)
	Now you're just flattering me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	19_53_88 2022-08-14 05:10 am UTC (link)
	A naginata?? Do you have any other Japanese weapons? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	helstrom_ 2022-08-14 05:11 am UTC (link)
	If you're looking for a katana, I have a few. The overseas market is [...] lacking here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	19_53_88 2022-08-14 05:15 am UTC (link)
	I've got a katana, though a backup might be a good idea. Oh and if you have any cleaning supplies or anything too because I didn't have that stuff with me when I got here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	helstrom_ 2022-08-14 05:23 am UTC (link)
	You need to come over and pick your katana. And maybe afterwards, I'll feel prepared to part with some of my cleaning supplies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	19_53_88 2022-08-14 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Awesome. I did already pick up some substitutes so it's not like it's super super important but I like to have the real thing if I can. (Reply to this) (Parent)
