Happy happy fun fun HiSPeed's Nethack Helper; For all your priceid needs and more; Added Alchemy Helper; More Accurate than Clippy; Spoiler. Thanks to Google not caring about meta tags any more this had to be added here. Have a great day.
History
I started my own nethack object identification script (by priceID'ing obviously) since I was uncontent with Clippy's results (or browsing the Object Identification Spoiler for the hundredth time in a game :)).
It started off with simply a little price-id'ing, but soon more goodies were added, like the alchemy helper (find out what potions you can get by using alchemy AKA dipping potions in other potions / items) and the corpse helper (find a monster that has intrinsic xxx or effect yyy).
As of now (2006-02-25) it's still under development (bugfixes and "design" issues mainly).

- Prices designated with ? are possible starting prices for the chosen prices.
- Prices designated with - are just stepstones on the way to those final (possible) prices.
When you are getting a price substantially more often (when selling) than another it's likely to be the not-over/undercharged one.. Use the lower price from the possible hits then!
Hint:
If you keep getting weird prices while playing a Tourist, eg. a spellbook price that doesn't result in prices dividable cleanly by 100 maybe the nethack you are playing on wasn't compiled with the Tourist's price "enhancements" ;)

General guidelines regarding potions:
- cursed object + holy water = uncursed object, uncursed object + holy water = blessed object
- blessed object + unholy water = uncursed object, uncursed object + unholy water = cursed object
- undiluted potion + water = diluted potion, diluted potion + water = water
- scroll/spellbook + water = blank scroll/spellbook (unless mail)
- weapon + uncursed water = may rust
- any potion + itself / same type = no effect
Smoky / Milky potions:
Quaffing a smoky potion may lead to a djinn whereas quaffing a milky potion may create a ghost.
The probability for this is based on the number of djinns / ghosts already in the game, eg. for 0 djinns/ghosts, prob. 1/13; 1 djinn/ghost, prob. 1/15, 2 djinns/ghosts, prob. 1/17, etc..
The formula for this is: 1/(13+2*n) as a probability where n is the number of djinns / ghosts in the game already.
The following results may occur when a djinn is created by quaffing a smoky potion:
- A djinn may grant you a wish with a probability of 80/20/5 % (blessed, uncursed, cursed potion).
- A djinn may become your pet / stay as a peaceful monster / just vanish with a probability of 5/20/5 % (blessed, uncursed, cursed potion).
- Or it may be created as a hostile monster with a probability of 5/20/80 % (blessed, uncursed, cursed potion).
Alchemy:
An attempt at alchemy AKA mixing two (non water) potions together can go bad with a probability of 10%.
If one of the two potions being mixed together is acid or cursed it'll _ALWAYS_ go bad.
Also:
- undiluted potion + other combination => 1/2 evaporates, 1/4 sickness, 1/8 random potion, 1/8 water
- diluted potion + other combination => uncursed water
Alchemy gone bad:
If your alchemy does go bad for whatever reason the following will happen:
- One potion of either stack will be lost in the process.
- Your character will breathe in the vapor of the dipped potion (which may result in damage done to your character).
- Your character abuses its strength.
Otherwise your alchemy will work and result in the following:
- One potion of the stack of potions you dipped _INTO_ will be lost.
- The stack of potions you _DIPPED_ into another will become another type of potion as laid out in the Alchemy Helper.
- The stack of potions you _DIPPED_ into another will become diluted and uncursed.
