$ HOW PRICES ARE FORMED $
Price numbers are not absolutely historical like 1$ in 1899 = 1$ ingame. No, for technical reasons. Realistic are not prices itself, but price correlations.
Buying price formula: historical 6 (and x8 for provisions).
Selling price formula: historical 3.
You may ask why not just set historical price without multiplier? - because far not every price can be changed; because some mission rewards are too high and cannot be edited. So, as you can understand now, multiplier is necessary for the game balance.
Exceptions from formula:
Medicines: can be more expensive than in historical reality (because its usefulness is much higher).
Horses: bying prices are mostly default (balance reasons, because in the game world they are much easier to acquire than in reality, and it naturally makes them cheaper).
Clothes: unchanged, they are close to the formula by default.
Barber services – unchanged.
Bounty hunting rewards – unchanged for technical reasons.
WEAPONS & AMMO
Weapon price formula: historical price 6. Uncommon weapons would be more expensive.
Scopes are x10 more expensive. Detachable for sniper rifles.
