This was (presumably) worth 1 barter.<br/><br/>Rez returns with the four trucks AND three more<em>running</em>trucks (presumably worth more in utilitarian terms although they do have some gunshot holes and clown body parts in them) AND this crazy-damn war machine-thing which bounces bullets.<br/><br/>So if escorting back four probable non-runners is worth "1 barter" (convoy duty) and (taking cues from p.241 where any ol' weapon can be had for 1 barter except an SMG which is "Maybe 2." and from p. 237 which lists "• any one weapon, gear or fashion not valuable or hi-tech." as 1 barter, I would suggest that 3 (rather used but running) vehicles are perhaps 2 barter (if they were in great shape, that'd be something else).<br/><br/>And the M-ATV<em>is</em>almost the definition of an unusual high-tech vehicle, and Rez suggested out loud that she figured it was worth more than the other three combined.<br/><br/>Now, as mentioned, "Barter" is a VERY vague unit, but this is a rather big damn haul. I am welcome to all thoughts and input here.<br/><br/>(But Rez has Vultures to feed, and nobody wants'em to get hungry. ;D)
