Returns the meat worth of item or items. This shares some code with retrieve_item. It does include the value of items you already own. To determine the value of items you own it uses valueOfInventory preference.
0.0 - Items already in inventory are considered free.
1.0 - Items are valued at their autosell price.
2.0 - Items are valued at current Mall price, unless they are min-priced.
3.0 - Items are always valued at Mall price (not really realistic).
Values in between are interpolated. The default value is 1.8. If an item is not buyable, this function will return MAXINT, or 2^63-1.

Code Sample

This is an example of a very simple aftercore logout script.

item nightcap = $item[ Mon Tiki ];
int price = retrieve_price(nightcap);
if(price > 30000)
  abort( nightcap+ " is unreasonably expensive, it will be a waste to use it. It is worth " +price );
if(my_inebriety() == inebriety_limit())
{
   if ( !retrieve_item( nightcap ) )
      abort( "Could not make/buy a " + nightcap + " for a nightcap." );
   else
      overdrink( 1 , nightcap );
}
