In game 7, I have been making two to three million gold on each sale.  Then
again prices are in the hundreds for anything normal (some close to a thousand)
and mithril is selling for around 10,000 per item.

My treasury is around 23 million and I am considering dropping the tax
rate to 1% (anyone try a rate of 0).  I am in either second or third place
as far as treasury goes.

If you want extremely abnormal data, I will be happy to send you prices
in a week or so (after the semester is over).
