Some number crunching

[Jarulf]

There is no information as to what happens when an item is discarded because of price cap, but probably the slot in question simply generates another item.

Yes, it will simply create a completely new item until it succeeds. I don't think there is an escape route so technically it could loop for ever but the ammount of items below the cap should make that highly improbable. On the other hand, in Hellfire, there is a cap on the number of loops which means the game can actually end up with items above the cap (it simply offers the last item in the loop regardless of price). On the other hand, hellfire has the addition of checking of the item is more expensive than other items of the same type you have or something like that, don't record the details, they should be in the Guide.
