   ITEM NAME
=======================================
The name of the item is the usual name seen when you right click on the item.
Note that the prefixes of 'small', 'medium', and 'large' are dropped since
this only affects which races can wear them (I think).  Most armour comes in
each of the three sizes.

The selling and buying costs for each item are given when available.  Please
note that these prices are approximate only and will vary greatly depending
on your reputation with the shopkeeper, your charisma, and probably other
factors.  The buying cost will be the lowest I've encountered or heard of.
Similarily, the selling cost will be the highest price offered.  Use these

that the item cannot be sold.
