I have one problem with this fic.  Generally speaking, Nabiki
is clear headed and insightful because what is going on doesn't matter
to her.  Being offered the subjects of all of her greediest dreams 
pushes her buttons, I'd say, and thus she might be a little more short 
sighted rather than looking for the catch right off.

I disagree. I don't recall any times in the manga when Nabby's judgement
has been blinded by yen signs in her eyes. When something seems too good
to be true (as in this case), IMO she's going to approach it very
cautiously.

Personally, I don't see Nabz as interested in wealth for its own sake. I
think she likes to match wits with the people around her (many of whom
are only half-armed) and that taking their money is a sort of game for
her. Sure, she could use wishes to make herself obscenely wealthy, but
where's the fun in that?
