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 (and question)

Character: Tyrell Badd [livejournal.com profile] tasteoftruth
Requested Item(s): All the suckers. All of them.
Current Funds: $5
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Probably not.

I'm not sure what five dollars worth of cheap lollipops looks like, so I'd need to know how many he'll have. But he's blowing his budget (and if the coupons do anything, those too) on candy.

Re: PURCHASE (and question)

[identity profile] tasteoftruth.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So that's 32 reasonably sized lollipops.

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

PURCHASE/QUESTION

[personal profile] affictitious 2011-05-14 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Gabriel [livejournal.com profile] affictitious
Requested Item(s): Various small chocolate/hard candies (think M&M's/skittles/gummis?)
Current Funds: $5
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Doubt it.

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

Re: PURCHASE/QUESTION

[identity profile] notachick.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I would say that's possible. I think the owners would let people take a mix and match of candy depending on the type.

Hard brand name small candies (M&Ms, Skittles, Reese's Pieces, etc.) = 4.00$ a pound
Gummy types (worms, bears, sour candies) = 3.00$ a pound
Hard no-brand candies (candy corns, starlites, etc.) = 2.50$ a pound?

Does that seem reasonable?

Requested Item(s): A toy soldier? Not sure how much each one would cost, but however much his funds can buy.
Current Funds: $5
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

He can apparently get a pack like this (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=toy+soldiers&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=OaN&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=11876272601625317030&sa=X&ei=4y7QTamALIumvQO0z6ieCg&ved=0CI8BEPMCMAc&biw=1440&bih=720#) for about 3$? 40pc in what looks like white, tan and the usual green with several different poses.

If not, a 50pc set would be about 5.00$ all uniform green and the standard poses, slightly higher quality.

PURCHASE

[identity profile] savagesolitude.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: CLAIRE LITTLETON [livejournal.com profile] savagesolitude
Requested Item(s): ...a teddy bear. ;; A much smaller version of this bear, perhaps? (http://ec5.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Fk521x2OL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Say between 4"-6"?
Current Funds: $5
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

I do realize that five dollars can't really purchase you a quality bear, but I hope it could work for something small. Possibly a brand-name knock off. (unsure) If she can't get a teddy bear for her son then she is making him a squirrel baby this nightshift.

[identity profile] notachick.livejournal.com 2011-05-17 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Beanie Babies are available and a BB teddy bear is about 3~5$? If not that, she could try talking to the owner and he might give her a discount on some of the used toys he has out for people to play with?

okita looks very serious about this teddy bear business.

A Beanie Baby teddy will work just fine then! >3< thank you so much!
