Unless I miss my guess completely, they want you to have the payment physically on your person in order for the process to work.
Were you, in fact, physically carrying around all the batches of all the coins when you made the attempt?
If not, try again while carrying as many kinds of coins matching the full payment price as is feasible.
If it works, let me know the design parameters of the ones that worked!

Also, if not, might the problem be that the coins are too small and/or the books are too big, given that your universe does not seem to be sized on the same scale as most others?

I tried to complete the spell continuously while summoning different batches to me and putting them first on my head and then on my head.

How long does a zorkmid need to last for, in order to be paid with? If anyone is allowed to create them, they are not actually used as normal currency, yes?

Please try the transaction again I have finally obtained valid Zorkmids!

zorkmids, demon-made, not issued by central authority, no inherent value, making coins worth less than previously, acceptable to buy spellbooks. >Quality Discount Spellbooks, could you accept zorkmids, conjured?

This sounds interesting. Since our ship's matter replicator can make zorkmids as described earlier and we have the energy to spare, I'd like to order a copy of Introduction to Spellcasting.

Did it work?

No response whatsoever. Perhaps something has happened to the merchant.

For reference, I sent them a message a few days ago, and haven't heard back either.

Since they disappeared within a month of finding this Forum there's three possibilities: 1. They are trawling fora and have moved on. Unlikely with the potential amount of gold you can get from here, but if the service was automated enough possible. 2. They have summoned a Demon or have been given a ridiculous amount of money from Leaf and have retired. 3. Leaf or someone like him killed them.

gabriael is the one who likes to talk about exterminating things.
So anyway, do these books come in "Translation Spell"?

I could write one with a dictionary, a grammar primer and a random book to test it. Getting it to would need some help from others.
