//
// Summary:
// Takes specified price, and adjusts it based on given stock on hand using reactive price rules to
// give us a market buy or sell price that has reacted to overstocked or understocked goods.
// Can be called when buying(done), selling(done) or displaying prices on lcds(done) or /pricelist command(done) or /value(done) possibly /worth too (possible issues with performance)
// Bias favours price changes on sell or buy (done), need to factor in transaction size or item price somehow to avoid exploiting price points
/* desired logic:
* 0: presumably we run this server side since the player is unlikely to have the price file, if no file found create one
* 1: either load the price adjust table from the pricetable file OR use a list/array which already contains the table
* 2: compare the on hand value supplied with the values in the table if it matches a criteria adjust price and any other bias/protection we add
* 3: repeat this until all table entries have been checked and/or applied as appropriate to slide the price up or down
* 4: return the calculated price for output to player price list or for buy/sell transactions
*** We also apply transport tycoon style subsides in here too.
