How much is cement really worth?

With the exploration of many new "outsiders" to der Todesengel, many new products created by the Bogeril, or the Boogles as many culturally insensitive people call them, have been exposed to the general galactic market.

Among these new products being bought from the Bogerils, is Bogeril Cement, a product often used in ammo construction. It is extremely expensive, as far as ammunition components go, costing some buyers as much as, if not more than, 750,000 credits a unit.

Cement is a primitive materiel used in construction during the 20th and 21st century. It's construction is not complex. How is it that the Bogeril are able to charge so much for it? When will other individuals outside of the Bogerils be able to construct these items for cheaper than the Bogerils provide them for. In the opinion of this reporter, we are being gouged by the Boogles for a primitive product, which should not be sold for more than the advanced components and products produced by companies such as GETCo or InfinitiCorp.

Use of weapons that use ammunition where cement is a component is quickly being discovered as a drain on a Warrior's bankroll. Of course there are people out there with enough credits to simply not care about the cost, but to the average Joe Warrior, perhaps some savings should be done before choosing to invest in any weapon which uses cement as an ammo component.

A quick tip to those who insist on buying cement regardless of the price is to buy through a Terran Trader who is an expert negotiator, and who is friendly with the Bogeril. The prices they will be able to provide you for cement will be about half as high as what many people would normally have to pay.
