Oh, you aren't interested. But you asked about Dwemer artifacts earlier. There aren't a lot of people selling them, so I'm slightly puzzled that you'd decline all of a sudden. Regardless, the offer's open if you change your mind.

Hm, I really can't let it go for less than eighty. I'll be happy to sell it so long as you get the funds, and the offer's open until I get another buyer.

Excellent! Good doing business with you. And really, it provides some much-needed funds for the college, even if indirectly.

The coherer's still available if you're interested. Remember, it was owned by Dumac, and I'm selling it for only 80 gold. This is the sort of thing any collector would want, I'm sure!

You seem like a reliable sort, so I'll let you in on a secret. You see, the College of Firewatch has more Dwemer artifacts than it really knows what to do with. It's not unusual to sell off some of the less remarkable artifacts. After all, I doubt the Empire will learn much from another Dwemer cog! It's quite harmless, and I assure you that it doesn't impact the progress of research at all. Would you be interested in purchasing this coherer for 80 gold? It was once used by Dumac Dwarfking himself!

Excuse me? Why in the world would you come to me for that? I'm an academic, not some smuggler! Any of my colleagues would tell you the same. Please don't bother me with this.
