Mississippi River Prices for Vehicles


back to the Index or the Mississippi River Prices and Availability

 

     These are of course very general costs; transportation expenses, seasonal variations, supply and demand will all affect these. Specifically, these are the prices found at Memphis. 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 of at least one item being available -- roll POW x availability or less on 1d100. Of course, some locations will have better availability, and having good contacts will also help.
