Skeptically Sapphira eyed the item. It certainly seemed valuable at first, but at closer examination, she noticed, it was pretty impure. It was only a pebble, too, and so one would need a few more for just a single ingot. Although still, mithril was worth a lot at this low level. As such, Sapphira had no idea whether it would actually fetch a good price on the market. It could very well prove to be a huge pain in her arse. Now she had to calculate whether the risks were actually worth it...
[color=00aeef]"Nah, sorry... it's not worth the risk. I'd need... about 9 more to be actually useful. But then you can smelt it into a mithril ingot, which will be worth a good amount of money."[/color]
She smiled. 
[color=00aeef]"Don't take it personal, I'm a merchant, I have to weigh the potential profit against the risk and to gain any profit from it, I'd need 9 more. To gather 9 more at this stage of the game is probably pretty tricky..."[/color]
