{{#vardefine:return_type|int}}


Returns the current mall price of the given item. Specifically it returns the price of the 5th item that would be purchased. Hopefully this will skip over some limited items and give you useful data. If items are purchased mall_price is automatically increased to the price of the new 5th item.

For example, if there are 7 Stench Wads priced at 385 meat and 700 priced at 390, the following code:
function1={{Function|
name={{#var:name}}|
aggregate={{#var:aggregate}}|
return_type={{#var:return_type}}|
return_also={{#var:return_also}}|
parameter1={{Param|item|shop_for}}|
p1desc={{Pspan|shop_for}} is the item to inquire on the mall price of|
}}|


<code>
function_description=Returns the current mall price of the given item, ignoring the first five items listed to compensate for stores with limits and min-priced sales. This function runs a new check each time it is called, so if you call this function and then purchase some of {{pspan|shop_for}} in the mall, calling this function again will return the new price of the item, again ignoring the first five.|
  print("stench wad price: "+ mall_price($item[stench wad]));
  buy(5, $item[stench wad]);
  print("stench wad price: "+ mall_price($item[stench wad]));
  buy(5, $item[stench wad]);
  print("stench wad price: "+ mall_price($item[stench wad]));
</code>


Will yield this output:

  stench wad price: 385

  Purchasing stench wad (5 @ 385)...
  You acquire stench wad (5)

Notice how mall_price went to 390 before any stench wads were purchased at that price. Magic!
