He knew very well that Philip did not have much money, so bartering was the best option.

The potions Preston brought along would definitely fetch a good price!

They might stand a chance to get the item if they used potions in exchange for it.

Preston had not come across anything he wanted, so he had not taken his potions out.

Philip smiled at Preston’s gesture.

He did not intend to take Preston’s stuff.

Instead, he planned to hand his things to Preston and ask Preston to bid for the item.
