Selling the poles for 10pp seems fair until one takes in
consideration the problem with the skill level in our trade. You only seem
to get 1 extra point max per lvl. Granted making the poles is trivial from
the get go, but taking account that getting ones skill high is obscenely
difficult to do, 5pp failures which seem to happen more even with my wisdom
suit on and I think 20pp is a fair price for the following reasons.

1. Akanon is in the boonies. Long walk from the only place to buy
components. Travel expenses :-)

2. This is a very very expensive trade with very little to show for it
- i.e. things to sell. Last night people asked what else I could make.
When I told em the entire list of things tinkerable, the fishing pole was
the only thing they really wanted.

3. What's wrong with making a 10pp profit, taking into account the
failures?

So, I say 20pp is a decent price to sell to people we don't
know, 10pp to those we do.
