item depreciation values
I have been looking at object data on custom mesh objects and I have a question.
I find that the depreciation/resale value for items is pretty confusing. In the catalog Money section it has price, sale price, daily depreciation, initial depreciation, self depreciating and depreciation limit. The price is straighforward.
At first I saw sale prices coupled with zeros in all depreciation fields. When I saw a value in depreciation fields (I assume that the value is a percentage that the item loses in value over a given time period), the sale price was zero.
I thought the sale price the money returned to you if you 'sold' the item back and no depreciation was taking place. And if there was a depreciation value that the item would be sold back at the original price minus the value calculation.
Then I noticed on some items there is a value for ALL fields.
Isn't this a conflict? How can an item have a sale price (the amount you get back) AND have a depreciation value?
