"No, Sevar, you should not do that.  Hell is circumscribed not in how many souls they may buy, but in how much they may pay out and in the minimum they must pay per soul.  If you'd succeeded in your sale, I expect it would have been worth it, to Asmodeus, but it might have caused ten or a hundred others not to be able to sell theirs, this year, I do not know the exact rate of exchange.  Let them sell you contracts on themselves such as you sold to Keltham, if you dislike the thought of devils cheating you."
