? for Rockstar with item prices ingame

[steeljacket488]

Will prices reflect 1899 rates, exe. average work horse $150, or a saddle $30, cowboy saddle $60, Classic Peacemaker $17, breach loading shot gun $60, rifle, seven-shot Sharps repeater $50. Theses exe are taken from Ward's First Catalogue, 1872.  I know there is a balance between realism and fun factor. but it would be nice to have too struggle a little with money. I read on the train mission that after the heist they had $600.00 in bonds to work with, just hoping that it goes fast, as one pistol add in game says $2 or the gun. Even used firearms like the cattleman's pistol was $7 in the catalogue. This is not a rant, this game will be the best game to have come out in the last few years for me, and no matter if I'm hurting for money, or rich in the first 12 hr of game play I'll be happy.

 

Any info would be awesome Rockstar, and thanks for your hard work with this gem.

Sorry I highlighted the hole thing, I didn't see that till I posted

Don't forget inflation.

$50 in 1872 → $34.02 in 1899

From what I've seen from the trailers it comes across as they are working with the parameters of that era currency. Whether that is direct $ for $ unsure. (If someone could clarify that would be appreciated).

Thanks for the info and links, Wiitgratzgygz, and Geordr. Its a wonder to see how prices of goods dropped between 1872 and 1897. Wish it worked that way today, anyway thanks guys.
