So wouldn't that be the case on a custom magic armor or weapon, where you pick the type of armor or weapon, pick item powers, and then purchase the item after it has been defined?

The following item (weapon) power has a variable iPriceCash field value, that is set according to which type of weapon the power is added to. Granted, the script is on the power itself, not on another thing, but it is working. (EDIT: I set the price adjustment script to run at First-2550, but it seems to work if set up to First-10000)
