How full was your inventory? Because he does "give all".

I was able to replicate this. This will happen if you can't carry all. The broker has items left in inventory and will hand over remaining items the next trade, but as he has no stock left, he will not add the next 5.

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > give chain affable
You give a shimmering chain of gold to an affable broker.

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > say buy vials of yellow fluid
You say 'buy vials of yellow fluid'

The logs also shows that no one's stock was actually bought on the 2nd trade:

123. an affable broker (20) Tue Jul 04 2023
vials from Theresa bought
124. an affable broker (20) Tue Jul 04 2023
vials bought by Oweyn
125. an affable broker (20) Tue Jul 04 2023
vials bought by Oweyn

Basically, next time this happen, try to find an imm instead of giving another item. Mobol isn't going to be able to distinguish, and even if it could, there would be no space.

1 for the price of 2.

Fits current times in our economy pretty much :shock:

I remembered that brokers have the "say beg drop" mobol, then went to verify and found that these guys don't. So now they do.
