How Much for that Chain Mail in the Window?

Jeff Rients has too much time on his hands. He's sat down and figured out how much Moldvay Basic's "iconic warrior" Morgan Ironwolf's equipment would cost in differing editions of D&D. It's an interesting read, but things really start popping in the comments section. Also be sure to follow the link to Delta's "stone" system for encumbrance.

The net is full of these neat little improvements, simplifications and sub-systems. Finding them is a fun treasure hunt.
