Price identification is the tactic of using the price of an item to try to identify it. One can use the "buy price", the price of an item in shops, or the "sell price", the price that a shopkeeper offers when you try to sell an item. The sell price is easier to use because it is not affected by your charisma. It will normally be half the "base price" of the item; there is a random chance that you will only be offered 3/4 of the normal sell price, but you can get around this by repeatedly dropping an item and refusing to sell it, until you have been offered two different prices for it. General stores are very useful for price identification because they will offer to buy all types of items.
The item which is most commonly price-ided is the scroll of identify, which is far cheaper than the other scrolls.
Add more items which it is useful to price-id, and link to the Dylan O'Donnell spoilers with complete lists of the base price of every item.
