    Fixed price?  The pretty ones always go for more.

    That was sold at an auction of sorts in the old movies.  ;)

    So you're saying that being an auctioned product, tobacco didn't have a set/fixed price, is that it, Thrifty?  (That's a valid observation.)

    In the movies people bid for the farmer's crop, so no, no fixed price.  When times were hard farmers borrowed against their unharvested crops too, but that's another subject.  Oops.

    A horse, or property or a stone depending on  whatever Age it was.  Who the heck knows.
