So after successfully fending off my first two ambushes the caravan shows up.  On the first screen I see ≡<<-cave spider silk rope->>≡ and decide its worth a look for the upcoming jail.  "...It is studded with superior quality Brass and decorated with superior quality black bear leather....On the item is an exceptionally designed image of Flayerdepress the Steel short sword in Morion"

This would be the short sword recently made by my fey weaponsmith.  So of course I had to buy it, even at ☼900☼ - it's only two (narrow giant cave spider silk shirt)s after all. 

So next year (and another 3 ambushes) rolls around.  I'm busily trading stacks of narrow clothing for metal bars, food, and meltable trinkets.  Near the bottom I see *<<-Tin bracelet->>* for 3370!  And its description: "...It is encircled with bands of finely-crafted Star sapphire.  On the item is a superiorly designed image of Flayerdepress the Steel short sword in Pig Tail". 

Yeesh - I guess the traders are smelling a sucker eh?  Well luckily one of the ambushes was the goblin wrestling squad - and they wore silk almost exclusively.  Except for the cheap (human leather earring). on one of them.

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it

heh yeah.  Next year I'm expecting them to come back with a pair of socks with a picture of the sword scribbled on them in pencil masterfully depicted in graphite for ☼14,000 or so.

You'll find a loincloth with a sword on it instead.

You know... to help your dwarves... compensate... for their shortcomings.

Payment only in gold-pressed latinum, if you would!
