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)
