Reading prices

The catalogue stores the gross advised price incl. packaging. Four indicative prices are derived from it: shop/fair incl. packaging (85%) and excl. packaging (72.25%), and second hand incl. (50%) and excl. packaging (42.5%). If the latest known price is older than 5 years, this is shown. A chart shows the price development.
