back to the Index or the East Broad Top price lists
These are of course very general costs; transportation expenses, seasonal variations, supply and demand will all affect these. Also, almost no store will carry even a fraction of this list.
Availability: for an ordinary walk-in customer, not known to the seller nor part of their organization, this is the chance as a POWxN%, of at least one item being available. Of course, some locations will have better availability, and having good contacts will also help.
