Scott wasn't in a hurry to close the deal. Instead, he asked, "You mentioned there were two treasures here, where's the other one?"
Powell was a bit excited, as he had just acquired these two items today. If he could sell them off immediately, it would be a truly risk-free transaction.
"This one," Powell began, "is a medieval pewter cup. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the piece is in perfect condition. I dare say there's not another like it in the world. Even the few pieces in museums can't compare." Powell spoke confidently, all the while watching Scott's expression, trying to gauge his interest. "This is a rare find that I paid a lot for. What do you think, do you like it?"
Finding a buyer for such a high-quality pewter cup wouldn't be difficult, but selling it directly to a wealthy individual would certainly be better than taking it to an auction.
