Your Favorite Rule of Acquisition

I think the best explaination is that the current Rules are actually fairly recent and the "tens of thousands of years old thing" is a marketing gimmick.

#239: "Never be afraid to mislabel a product."

I thought the Ferengi Alliance was only 5,000 years old ( DS9 "Little Green Men" ).

Rule 223 Beware the man who doesn't make time for oo-mox.

Rule 192 Never cheat a Klingon... unless you're sure you can get away with it.

Rule 188 A fool and his money is the best customer.

This addition to the rule is non-canon afaik.
I believe the correct rule is : "A deal is a deal... but only between Ferengi". It's in the episode in which Quark is told he's terminally ill and sells his body, then it turns out it was a mistake.

Not according to my encyclopedia.

Rule 16: A deal is a deal
Rule 17: A contract is a contract is a contract but only between Ferengi.

In Enterprise (Canon, even for the stubborn bastards who refuses to accept it) the episode 'aquisition' implies that Vulcans/Ferengi are unaware of one and other.
