How does renting ammo work? (in General)

I see it is possible, but what happens as the ammo is used? Do I need to pro-rate the fees based on the expected usage of the ammo by the person renting so I break even? 'Tis a mystery to me - please illuminate!

If it works the same way as in CB1:

One of 3 things are possible:

1. The ammo is named, and the renter wants the extra bonus from being named. (not possible since we cannot yet name in CB2)
2. You assume the renter will use up all your ammo, so you need to make your money back - charge him through the nose (he's a fool for paying it)
3. You charge less than the ammo is worth, and the renter uses up all your ammo, and gets a good deal (you are a fool for renting it for so low).

In any case, renting ammo makes a fool out of somebody :)

the last piece of ammunition can't be used but the rest of the ammo can be used.

it's almost no use to rent out ammo because people can degrade you high powered ammo with very little efforts.

but i do remember the Inexhaustible Arrows that were widely rented out.

Ah so ... very edifying. As I expected - much obliged.

"Alas, poor IA's! I knew them, Shade, flights of infinite replenishment, of most excellent damage. They hath born me on their shafts a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in Jon's imagination they are! His gorge rims at them. Here hung those flights that I have loosed I know not how oft. Where be your 'rived' now? Your 'eviscerated'? Your 'dismembered'? Your huge gobs of damage that were wont to slay my enemies? Not one now to mock their exit? Quite lost in CB1 history?"

/me hands Almuric a pair of sunglasses and SPF 45 lotion.

"Get outside more".

It's near 0 wind-chill and there's 6 inches of snow on the ground. The SPF-45 is unnecessary. I would get outside, but there's too much snow for me to run on my usual trails right now. I hope it melts soon. Running on a treadmill sucks.
