Ves spent hours trawling through the underground black market. He found a lot of past glories of once-successful mech designers, business magnates, famed artists, entertainment stars and more.
A plethora of historical mementos of Vindar VII's once glorious high society turned into cheap and disposable souvenirs.
None of these trophies, awards and other aesthetically beautiful but functionally useless objects aroused his interests.
He focused his attention solely on the useful and practical items among the trash.
Unfortunately, he was far from the only buyer who trawled the black markets for hidden gems. Savvy buyers who perused the wares much earlier than Ves already picked up the most obvious treasures with considerable utility or resale value.
The goods that remained failed to impress Ves at all.
