  • Surcharge bug with turned items in shops?

    Technically it may result from the surcharge being calculated based on
    the internal item instance ID, and the price was probably recalculated
    with the new ID, ignoring its original price.

    Weill, I seldom buy anything, thus my experience with surcharges is from
    price identification and/or selling, thus may be wrong. But, in this
    reverse direction surcharges are applied (or not) with each attempt independently. I'll try verify later (or *someone* could just read the sources).

    Selling surcharges are random per-attempt; buying surcharges are fixed per-item.

    Nice to have explicit clarification on this. Should be more attentive
    next time I'll go shopping.
