The skele is great for any stance tank in SF or the shiverpeaks (two big, important parts of the game!). It's better than the crimson carapace or any other -2/+45 stance shield when there are dwarves swarming. The skin isn't bad and the req is sweet.
That's what I would tell any potential buyer...and then I'd ask ~100k for it.
Eventually, it would work. Actually, I'd be willing to bet that it wouldn't take too long for it to work.
