Though Valyr complained about the price of all the items he had Braum procure him, with the latter defending the price he gave out by informing him how much hardship he had to go through, he still paid the price Braum had given him in the end.
Of course, that did not mean the price did not hurt him on the inside.
With his material assets only amounting to around 30 platinum coins after spending close to half of what it previously was on a great number of skill books, 10 platinum coins was more or less equivalent to a third of what he currently had on hand. Sure, it wouldn't have been a problem for him if he still earned money from having the Crimson Forge back at Clossbay City continue selling equipment since he could make it back within a couple of days, but as he had given his ownership to another blacksmith before he left for Algerie Kingdom, he had no method of earning income to speak of.
