     One can define PRICE_LIMIT here or even in the config.h if desired.

  Well, at least having a #define at the top of shop.c isn't a bad idea instead 
of it just being harcoded in the code itself.

  Looking at the graph you provided, I share that concern - the price doesn't 
seem to decrease all that much.

  The real idea of the function was to limit money players would get for really 
expensive items that a are periodically generated - sometimes, combination of 
abilities is created that result in incredibly value items (hundreds of 
thousands of platinum).  If the current function doesn't do that, that should 
get fixed up.
