The hardware store? Really? I'm honestly surprised that anyone (such as
Grimpold) would be concerned about his 100gold piece of sandpaper wearing out,
or his 82gold shovel taking wear-and-tear until it breaks, or his 2gold
magnifying glass losing a shape due to a combat sense fumble.
Seriously, these items are so ridiculously cheap that it's not worth
_anyone_'s time to repair, player or shopkeeper. Do you see anyone burning 10k
worth of refined steel to repair a stethescope? The only "items" sold in
stores that are expensive enough to repair are chest skeletons and forges, and
those don't take damage anyhow (well not once they're bolted). You really want
that those one-shot bandages or torch in max condition? Ask _any_ merchant how
much they'd charge to fix up such a thing. Then ask "would anyone pay for
that?" The answer will be "no".
When the condition of any of these items makes any _effective_ difference in
the game AND ALSO the price is so prohibitive that buying a replacement is an
actual penalty, I will consider this. Until then, I'm not interested.

condition. Like purses and cabinets from furniture shop, rings from barnums
shop, etc. Ofcourse from gameplay shop generated items are not propably most
important, but still if its not that important, could it be max condition for
role playing purposes?
