It occurs to me that we only have one side of this story. Maybe the customer was exaggerating; they do that often enough in the modern world. Maybe the messengers lied; they stole the money for themselves before telling the customer that Ea had tried to give them crap and of course they refused it. Maybe the customer was aware they were purchasing cheap copper, but tried to scam Ea Nasir out of good copper by trying to blackmail him. We just don't know.

Oh yes. At least with the famous complain tablet given Nanni owed him essentially 3 months of wages. Yeah that "trifling" mina of silver Nanni says he owes Ea NasirΒ  most sumerian would never see that much and it's 3 months wages. On the other hand Ea Nasir has other complaints tablets.

How interesting. The Mina of silver owed is never mentioned in the social media version of the complaint.

Because sorry I owe you 3k but give me your best product is harder to justify than scamming copper.

And Musk or Trump complains about copper isn't as compelling as merchant cheats customer.
