Doyleton Purchase Guide and Request

[psyches]

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] _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]

<b>SUBJECT LINE:</b> Purchase <b>Character:</b> [Character name] <lj site="livejournal.com" user="_username_here"> <b>Requested Item(s):</b> <b>Current Funds:</b> $ <b>Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?:</b> Y/N <a href="relevant thread if NPC mod is required">Day #: [location here]</a>

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.

Requested Item(s): Toolbelt?
Current Funds: $20
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

I posted this in advance because the hardware store doesn't have a detailed listing. Would it even have toolbelts? /fff, fails at ever going into a hardware store.

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

It should have tool belts, haha. A simple cloth tool belt is going to be $6 while a more heavy duty one will be $18.

I'm... not sure where else you might get that. :S

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

Yeah, I think Bill's Hardware is the closest place for a silk cord. Uh, let's go with $2.50 a yard!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

Duct tape would be found here, and it would be $4.

Purchase

[thecamellia.livejournal.com]

Character: Tsubaki (thecamellia)
Requested Item(s): One of these (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442506423&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302695945) basic little first aid kits. LAWL, ideally if they're allowed.
Current Funds: $20
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

Should be good, though for this item, a nurse might need to take it for safekeeping until dinnertime (since it has safety pins). Let's make the kit an even $15.

Purchase (maybe)

[gald_digger]

Character: Anise Tatlin gald_digger
Requested Item(s): I'm hoping for her to find some affordable binoculars. (Canadian Tire sells collapsible 8x21 ones for $10, so maybe something like that?) And she might also take a look at smaller, pocket-sized flashlights, or even keychain flashlights if they have them.
Current Funds: $25
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N (she's not even headed there just yet; I just thought I'd get prices worked out well ahead of time)

Re: Purchase (maybe)

[melodists.livejournal.com]

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.

Purchase

[blind-nights.livejournal.com]

Character: Aidou (blood_and_pocky)
Requested Item(s): Backpack or bag or something? He's running on fumes fund-wise, but I was wondering what the price range would be for backpacks or some kind of storage bag that goes over the shoulder or back or... yeah. :S PRICE CHECK ME.
Current Funds: $10
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

The cheapest backpack/bag is going to be something like this, and it's going to be $15. Though if he's looking for something to carry around and doesn't mind putting that sucker around his waist, there's a toolbelt mentioned here that he could afford.

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

Oh! He may also want to check here for a duffel bag in his price range.

Purchase

[doneinthree]

Character: James T. Kirk doneinthree
Requested Item(s): Waist pouch and/or wrist strap
Current Funds: $10
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

I'd like to know if it's possible to find a small utility bag you could attach to a belt (looks like this). If that's not available or would be out of Kirk's price range, could he find something like a wrist lanyard? Fairly sturdy, maybe like this. :|a

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

Ah, yeah, that utility bag is going to be out of his price range (lowest I could find is about $15). A good quality wrist lanyard is going to be $6, though!

Purchase

[nobleman]

Character: Guy Cecil razing_phoenix
Requested Item(s): Just some leather that he can eventually use to try and make a sheath.
Current Funds: $20
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

Re: Purchase

[psyches]

Enough leather to make a sheath (I'm assuming for a sword) will be $10! It'll come in a nice 10lb plastic bag. :3

Purchase!
