Devra, I do have one similar file in the Florilegium. If you or anyone
else has comments about stuff in it, or additional comments, please feel
free to send me email I can add to this. In the COMMERCE section:
merchanting-msg   (52K) 11/27/00    Merchanting in the SCA.

There is also this file, just in case someone is interest in how the
period merchants did things:
Med-Merchants-CA  (  K)  3/ 5/01    "Medieval Merchants and Artisans" by
                                       Catriona Macperson (AKA Milly McCloskey).

This is a copy of the Compleat Anachronist that was originally published
on this subject.
