If it exists, remove the bullet point containing “A cost in money; winning this item will reduce your Money spent by this amount.”
Add a new rule, “Secondhand Market”:
The Noblemen wiki page contains a section listing secondary offerings held by Noblemen for items they own. An Offering is one entry on this list, which specifies an item and a numerical Price. At any time, a Nobleman may spend 2 Prestige to create an Offering of an item that they own, and any Price. A Nobleman may remove an Offering that they created at any time.
A Nobleman (the Buyer) may purchase an Offering by removing the entry and notifying Louis XIV that they have purchased it, also noting the item and the price. When a Nobleman purchases an Offering, its item no longer belongs to the Nobleman who created the Offering (the Seller), and instead belongs to the Buyer. The Buyer’s Money spent increases by the Offering’s Price, and the Seller’s Money spent decreases by the Offering’s Price.
It’s not very noble, no, but sometimes items outlive their usefulness.
Selling items at individual prices fixed by Louis XIV (and auctioned on that basis) seems more interesting than selling a thimble to your accomplice for a billion francs to wipe out your debt.
