"Need details of messages and charges for various categories of item:"
If you use an item with limited uses in a shop before paying for it and in the presence of a shopkeeper, you will be charged a usage fee[1]. This includes items with charges, spellbooks and non-permanent light sources.
Messages associated with usage fees
- "This is no free library, cad!" - spellbooks
- "That will cost you (n) zorkmids (Yendorian Fuel Tax)." - potions of oil
- "Usage fee, (n) zorkmids."; - anything else
Each of these messages has a one-in-three chance of being prefaced with "Hey!" or "Ahem."
Strategy
In general, it is preferrable to buy the item first (credit_cloning), or even buy&use&sell it. One exception are low-level spellbooks: By the time the spell expires, your character is most likely either dead or stinking rich.
