Princeton Vehicles

Page history last edited by Michael 5 years, 2 months ago

back to the Index or the Princeton 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 of at least one item being available:  roll POW x availability on 1d100. Of course, some locations will have better availability, and having good contacts will also help.
