+BUY
+Usage: BUY [Cash/Cred] [AMOUNT] <ITEM>
+If you'd like to purchase an item from a shop and have the money, you can buy it. Items can be
+bought by name, or by their number in the shop listing, and can be bought in quantity. Purchasing an
+item looks for a personalized credstick by default. Try putting it away if you wish to pay with
+money in pocket. If you do not have a credstick, you can also pay for something with cash if the
+store accepts it.
+If the item is not currently in stock, the shop keeper will tell you when you can come back to pick
+it up in MUD time. They will send MAIL about it, and you can use the RECEIVE command to pick it up.
+Items that have to be ordered in take a deposit of 1/3rd of the base item's value.
+Examples:
+< 10P 10M > buy gun          (buy the first gun on the list)
+< 10P 10M > buy #3           (buy the third item on the list)
+< 10P 10M > buy 4.gun        (buy the fourth gun on the list)
+< 10P 10M > buy 10 ration    (buy 10 rations)
+< 10P 10M > buy 10 #2        (buy 10 of the second item on the list)
+< 10P 10M > buy cash 10 #2   (buy 10 of the second item on the list with cash)
