You tap a dark painted leather satchel, which is in your right hand.
You carefully examine the painted leather satchel and determine that the weight is about 6 pounds.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
The satchel has an abstract motif artistically brushed on with several shades of dark paint. The random strokes of paint appear to have no order or purpose other than to add a touch of originality to this otherwise simple leather satchel.You carefully inspect your painted leather satchel.

You estimate that a dark painted leather satchel can store a very large amount with enough space for any number of items.

You determine that you could wear the satchel on your back. The satchel appears to serve some purpose.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

You remove a polished steel skeleton key hanging from a gleaming silver neckchain from in your spidersilk backpack.
>wear key
You hang a polished steel skeleton key hanging from a gleaming silver neckchain around your neck.
You hold your skeleton key by the neckchain and spin it overhead. As you spin it overhead, an eerie, earsplitting wail echoes from it.
You gently tap your skeleton key. The skeletal key unfreezes and flails and claws at the end of its chain for a moment, before reverting back.
You buff your skeleton key to a gleaming shine. You hold it up to the light, then give it one more rub.
>lock my sat with my key
You hear a click as it locks.
>unlock my sat with my key
You hear a click as it unlocks.
>open my sat
You open a dark painted leather satchel.

Any ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That's a nice container. If it can hold over 120 pounds the worth of it starts to raise dramatically.

Thanks for the quick reply, I just stuffed it as full as I could get it and got:

Remember, the weigh verb is highly inaccurate.

Well... how would I determine this then?

I'd say 200k because of the key, but otherwise back worn, 6 lb, vla and lockable is not very rare or hard to attain.

Fill it to capacity as you did, including little tiny stuff, as only so many BIG items can fit into a container even if there is more space, then weigh it like 10-15 times, and take the average.

Or get a bard to sing its weight first, then fill it and sing it again. That way is highly accurate as it gives the weight of the full container, not just the container itself.

Thanks all! I'm not nearly as interested in selling it, hearing 200k as a suggestion. So I appreciate the advice, but I'm likely just going to keep this one.
