I was doing a wizard mode game, levelported to level 4 (where the
entrance to mines was), and arrived here:

Since this was wizard mode, I did a quick identify of the items that
were here:

Unpaid Tools
C - a cursed brass lantern 9 zorkmids
J - 2 cursed tallow candles 16 zorkmids
M - a +0 pick-axe 38 zorkmids
w - a bag of tricks (0:19) 75 zorkmids
u - a can of grease (0:12) 15 zorkmids
x - a crystal ball (0:3) 60 zorkmids
n - a magic harp (0:6) 38 zorkmids
I - a magic marker (0:54) 38 zorkmids
O - a tinning kit (0:74) 23 zorkmids
r - an uncursed blindfold 15 zorkmids
t - an uncursed blindfold 15 zorkmids
z - an uncursed credit card 8 zorkmids
s - an uncursed figurine of a red mold 60 zorkmids
F - an uncursed lock pick 15 zorkmids
K - an uncursed lock pick 15 zorkmids
P - an uncursed magic lamp 50 zorkmids
B - an uncursed oil lamp 10 zorkmids
Q - an uncursed oilskin sack 75 zorkmids
G - an uncursed sack 2 zorkmids
N - an uncursed sack 2 zorkmids
D - an uncursed saddle 113 zorkmids
A - an uncursed skeleton key 8 zorkmids
p - an uncursed stethoscope 57 zorkmids
k - an uncursed tin whistle 8 zorkmids
o - an uncursed tin whistle 8 zorkmids
q - an uncursed tin whistle 8 zorkmids
y - an uncursed tin whistle 10 zorkmids
H - an uncursed tin whistle 8 zorkmids
T - an uncursed tin whistle 9 zorkmids
E - an uncursed tin opener 23 zorkmids
L - an uncursed tin opener 23 zorkmids
l - an uncursed towel 38 zorkmids
m - an uncursed towel 38 zorkmids
Unpaid Comestibles
V - an uncursed egg 7 zorkmids
Unpaid Spellbooks
W - an uncursed spellbook of dig 375 zorkmids
Unpaid Gems
U - an uncursed amethyst stone 400 zorkmids

* - Total: 1722 zorkmids

There was also a chest, which contained the gem. I already had a
stethoscope, since this was a healer... Since I started with ZMD 6131, I
could even have paid for almost the lot (let him keep the spellbook: dig
is too difficult for me, anyway).

Why the tin whistles have different prices? I thought
that identical items always have identical prices.

The shoping spoiler says that there is a random price adjustment on
individual items.

Damn, first time I've seen a saddle not on included as original
equipment with a Knight. Think we could convince the Dev Team to
randomly generate a saddle when a leather golem is killed? Or even
always include one saddle in the castle? I can't imagine a castle
without a tack room: saddle, blanket, riding boots, riding gloves,
slicker (oilskin cloak?), horse feed (rnd(12) eucaluuptus leaves,
carrots, or etc?)

Played a Tourist yesterday (yes, died, too, of course.), and found a
saddle in the fourth room of dlvl 1... Might be the second time for me
ever.

I've seen them out and about a few times.

Just wanted to say that those are damned good ideas- especially the
leather golem one.

Yes, that would explain TWO different prices, but not three.
IIRC, some items may have two different prices according to the buc
status, but I don't remember whether tin whistles are among them. (No
scrolls or rings do, and the only potion with this feature is water.)

I was playing in wizard mode, so I might have wished up and quaffed some
potions of gain level or gain ability between picking up the whistles. I
don't think I did, though.
