	=== Unsellable slaves? ===		=== Influence gains from selling slaves ===
			Selling slaves for above $5,000+ will bring you to the attention of Ikaanian society and gain you some social [[Influence]] - especially if the slaves are beautiful, intelligent, corrupt or otherwise desirable. The Influence yield is not just down to sale price but is also directly affected by societal factors as well as by the slave's personal characteristics - despite these factors and characteristics being amongst those which determine the sale price. So in effect these particular factors and characteristics get counted twice.

	Some captives may be so unappealing to slave dealers that they will offer you nothing for them, and you will have to either add the captives to your household or release them. This generally means people seemingly very ill or diseased, such as "[[Prowlers]]". In this case, if you have enough [[Influence]] (6,000+) for [[Hunt Research]] to deal with you, you have the alternative of offering them there, for research or experiments. They will pay good money ($7,500) for particularly unusual specimens. What happens to such specimens, you do not know.
