(EDIT: on the suggestion of friend/player, made it a move where you pick the good stuff, not the bad stuff). 

OFFLOAD

When you ask around a steading to find a buyer for something unusual, illegal, or just plain strange, roll +CHA. The GM will tell you who might buy the item, and what you might expect them to pay. 

On a 10+, the deal goes quite well, pick two. On a 7-9, it gets complicated, pick one. 

– You don’t have to settle for a lower price 

– It doesn’t take a long time to set up the deal or find a buyer

– You don’t draw unwanted attention or put yourself in a spot

On a miss, the deal goes sour. 

If the steading has the Market tag, take +1 on this move.

(thieves with Connections can use that move instead)

  1. Here are the two moves from apocalypse world

    When you go into a holding’s bustling market, looking for some particular thing to buy, and it’s not obvious whether you should be able to just like go buy one like that, roll+sharp. On a 10+, yes, you can just go can buy it like that. On a 7–9, the MC chooses one of the following:

    • it costs 1-barter more than you’d expect

    • it’s available, but only if you meet with a guy who knows a guy

    • damn, I had one, I just sold it to this guy named Rolfball, maybe

    you can go get it off him?

    • sorry, I don’t have that, but maybe this will do instead?

    When you make known that you want a thing and drop jingle to speed it on its way, roll+barter spent (max roll+3). It has to be a thing you could legitimately get this way. On a 10+ it comes to you, no strings attached. On a 7–9 it comes to you, or something pretty close. On a miss, it comes to you, but with strings very much attached.

  2. Well, Dw has it’s own version of those moves – Supply. 

    Offload is supposed to be the reverse Supply. Normal stuff you can just buy or sell. Non-normal, you have to do this.
