Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about “Toydarian trading” lately, and I figured, why not give it a shot? I’m always up for trying new things, especially if it might make me some extra credits. Gotta keep that starship fueled up, you know?
First things first, I needed to find a Toydarian. Not the easiest task, those guys are kinda rare, and they’re known for being, well, let’s just say “tough negotiators.” I poked around the usual cantinas and trading posts, asking about, you know, subtly. I didn’t want to look like a total newbie.
Finally, I got a tip about a Toydarian named Watto who hung around Mos Espa. Apparently, he was always looking for a good deal. Sounded promising, or maybe just desperate.
So, I headed out to Mos Espa. Found Watto’s junk shop, and let me tell you, it was a mess. Stuff piled everywhere, droids sparking, and the smell… well, let’s just say it wasn’t pleasant. Watto himself was buzzing around, grumbling about something. I approached him carefully.
I started by just browsing, pretending to be interested in some rusty old power converters. Then, I casually mentioned I was looking for some “unique” items, things that might be hard to find elsewhere. I figured that would pique his interest.
- Step 1: Find a Toydarian. Check.
- Step 2: Pretend to be a casual browser. Double Check.
- Step 3: Hint at wanting “unique” items. Success! He’s listening.
Watto gave me a sideways look, his wings fluttering a bit. He started rambling about some rare droid parts he had, claiming they were “top quality.” I played along, asking questions, acting impressed, even though I could tell some of them were pretty beat up.
After some back and forth, trying that hard bargain, I finally made my point of looking at a few good parts. We went on haggling a lot before finally struck a deal. He tossed in some extra scrap metal, probably to make himself feel better about the price. I wasn’t complaining. He ended up accepting.
It took some practice, but it got better. Now time to find someone who wants these.
So, that’s my first Toydarian trading experience. It was… interesting. I’m not sure if I made a huge profit, but I definitely learned a lot. I’ll try again, though. Maybe I’ll find some real treasures next time!
