OK. Neither parties wealth improves until they get back to the home culture. The wealth was "created" by the effort involved in finding a market in which such disparity exists and lugging your goods there and back. You made money through travel and hard work.
But, all I really mean is that I'd allow this as a pretext for cementing a wealth point, and to demonstrate that there are in principle certain transactions in which you can spend petty cash and neverthless make a capital acquisition.
