 | Welcome adventurer. Looking for a value in gold that any shopkeeper  |
 | can give you? Then you have come to the wrong place. However, are    |
 | you perhaps looking for the true value of an item? How useful it is  |
 | going to be to you? If so, I can tell you what you need to know      |
 | about your posession but there will, of course, be a small fee.      |
 |                                                                      |
 | How much work I have to do researching an item mostly depends on how |
 | powerful that item is, and therefore, its level. I feel that we can  |
 | reach agreement on a price of 1 gold * the level of the item.        |
 |                                                                      |
 | Please clean up after yourself.  I can't guarantee an item will be   |
 | useful!  If you don't want it or it has no value, drop and sacrifice |
 | it before you go.  Help keep our city (and my study) clean!          |
 |                                                                      |
 | To make use of my services, simply make the sure the item is in      |     
 | your inventory (not worn), and type 'IDENTIFY <item>'.               |
