There is no way to correspond prices based on mass production.But what can be done is to understand a relative value of x number of gold pieces.At 1 CP = $1, many prices in the PHB make sense in players' minds.A set of clothes for $50.A mug of ale for $4 at a tavern.A loaf of bread for $2.A cab for $1 a mile in the city, $3 a mile outside the city.A set of tools for a profession for $1000 to $3000. Ask a real world mechanic or carpenter how much he spent on his tools. A home business computer programmer will spend $500 minimum on a laptop (usually more) and many hundreds on needed software.A modest living expense at $36,500 a year. Living expenses include food, rent, taxes, entertainment, clothes, and dozens of other expenses. Nobody has a modest living at $3650 (i.e. 1 GP per day at $10 per GP) a year in at least the U.S.</blockquote>
