I've had quite a few merchants in my time, and I thought I'd post a skill that could use some looking into.

Even my old merchants, who have used the skill "value" time and time again (and who should thus be quite skilled in its use) constantly get radically different values for identical goods when they use the command. (And, yes, I'm comparing the value in the same money system.)

For example: take two arrows, exactly the same in every way. Use the value command on each arrow, and you get *very* different results. It is understandable to get results that vary slightly, but in some cases it can vary by as much as +/- 80-90 percent, which is WAAAY off. (In one experiement, I remember getting a value of 2 and 189 for different -- but identical -- items.)

Please examine the code for this skill, and modify it slightly so that it returns more realistic numbers.
