However don't forget that what is common in one place is extreamly rare
in another. Imagine how much 5 tons of steel weapons would be worth on
krynn compared to on Toril. You could easily triple your money (wonder
why now one's tried this...). I remember one example where the queen on
England offered the eqivelent of several million dollars to anyone who
could import a certain fruit to england (No one was able too due to
transit times)
