Doyleton Purchase Guide and Request

If your character is looking to purchase something, you've come to the right place. Most of the businesses in Doyleton are willing to offer goods and services to Landel's Institute patients so long as they have the proper amount of funds in their cards. Though the overall concept is fairly simple, there are a few things players will need to keep in mind before making an IC purchase:

1. Not everything is up for sale. All shopkeepers will bar patients from purchasing anything potentially dangerous or cumbersome (e.g., knives at Kitchin' Fixins or larger electronics like computers).

2. All purchases will be confiscated by the military when the patients board the buses at the end of the day. They will be returned at dinner along with their usual NS-only items (unless they've misbehaved).

3. Patients can trying haggling for a better bargain, but harassment of any townspeople will not be tolerated. Anyone abusing Doyleton folk will be warned and punished accordingly.

4. A patient can make a purchase with someone else's card so long as the card's owner is beside them during the time of purchase. A good rule of thumb to use is RL approach to credit cards. If a patient can't prove they are authorized to use the card, they cannot buy. There will be no exceptions.

5. Patient purchases do not require a NPC mod every time. You may request for one if the circumstances call for it, but in general, if the patient just wants to buy something simple, go ahead and have them do so in your own posts (after you receive the proper approval for the purchase, of course).


If your character plans to buy something, please fill out the following form first:

SUBJECT LINE: Purchase
Character: [Character name] [livejournal.com profile] _username_here
Requested Item(s): What your character is looking to buy?
Current Funds: Tell us how much is on your character's card.
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Y/N
Day #: [location here]



Post this form to the appropriate location, and a NPC mod will approve/reject the request as well as let you know of the costs involved. Please do not go forward with the purchase until a NPC mod approves your request.

As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask here (make sure to mark the subject line as Question) or throw us a contact.

Purchase

[identity profile] sixth-attack.livejournal.com 2011-05-13 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Character: [Sechs] [livejournal.com profile] sixth_attack
Requested Item(s): Sechs is skipping the coupon and demanding asking for the biggest combo that the Tasty Burger offers. Pretty much the equivalent of a triple cheese Big Mac with all the toppings, large fries, onion rings, large drink and ice cream.
Current Funds: $15
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Nope. I'm just not sure if the Tasty burger offers what Sechs wants and how much it could cost, so I'm just checking to see how this will work out ahead of time just in case.

Their largest burger would be their Big Tasty Burger, which would be about the equivalent to a Big Mac, with two beef patties, three slices of bread, two slices of cheese, a layer of bacon, lettuce, onions, tomato, mayo, and mustard.

The burger by itself is $3.00. A regular-sized combo with this burger (titled the Big Tasty Meal) is $5, while an up-sized one (with the larger fries and drink) is $6.

Onion rings are available for $1.50, and an ice cream cone would also be $1.50.

edit: Hope it's not too late, but I'm gonna drop the combo price by a dollar since it's a rural area. Sorry for any confusion!

Ok! Thanks very much for the info! And no worries, I haven't made my post yet. I didn't plan on detailing the price in my post anyways, but I wasn't sure what the combos were like at the Tasty Burger, so that info helps.

Oh, and if the combo price is down by a dollar, would the up-sized one still be $6 or $5? Again, I wont mention the price in my first post, but it'll be good to know to keep record for later on this dayshift.

Upsized one is $6, so all the prices in the edited post are the correct ones. I originally had it at 7 since that's closer to the price where I live.

Purchase / Question

[personal profile] javits 2011-05-13 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Izaya [livejournal.com profile] hat_einen_vogel
Requested Item(s): Cheap compact binoculars (something like these)
Current Funds: $5 (maybe $10 if a joint purchase can be made and additional funds are needed; I'll repost this form with the additional information if needed)
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

The question part: I DON'T KNOW if this is even the right store, but amazon.com listed binoculars under electronics, so... Would they exist there?

If I'm looking at the right binoculars (http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/BinocularsTelescopes/Binoculars/PRD~0761027P/BushMaster%252BFRP%252B8%252Bx%252B21%252BBinoculars.jsp?locale=en), then yup, let's make that $10. A pocket-sized flashlight (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/tank007-tk-701-ssc-42180-u-90-lumen-led-flashlight-1-aaa-18630) will be $9 while a keychain flashlight (http://www.katerno.com/detail.php?s=74629) will be $7.

Cheat dark chocolate bars will be $3 each while the higher-quality ones will run $5 a bar.

Hmm, antique magnifying glasses can average anywhere from $15 to $60ish--though personally, I've seen them closer to the low end of the spectrum. Possibly the only option to that is... instead of a handheld one like these, one that is just the lens like this, which would be nearly paper-thin and palm sized for $3.

Whoops, didn't check the hardware section. Thanks!

I know a lot of candy counters around here have deals where you can buy big bags of assorted candy for a price per pound, usually small things - M&M's, Skittles, Reese's Pieces, gummi worms, candy corns, etc. Any chance there's something like that here? :|a
