* ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'':
** Hachi gets a 10% day-to-day discount for producing units, which is raised to 50% on the turn his [[LimitBreak CO Power or Super CO Power]]. The latter also lets him build land units at cities instead of bases, basically letting him instantly raise a whole army on the cheap.
** Colin always gets 20% off, but has a 10% penalty to attack. Which excellently compliments his CO Power ([[MoneyMultiplier which multiplies his possessed funds by one-and-a-half]]) and Super CO Power (which gives a damage boost proportional to funds you're carrying).
** Kanbei is the inverse of Colin: his units cost 20% ''more'' than standard, but have 20% or 30% increased attack and defense (depending on the game). As the defensive boost alone makes Kanbei's units almost absurdly durable, he's definitely getting his money's worth.

* ''VideoGame/BattleTech2018'' assesses your store prices based on your reputation with the local faction. Normally there's a 10% markup on new equipment, but if you are on good terms with the planet's ruling faction, you can receive items at-cost or even down to a 10% discount if you're on ''really'' good terms. This can be significant when your purchases measure in the millions. Conversely, piss off the ruling faction and you can expect markups of up to 50% instead. This is one reason that many players try to remain at least neutral with the resident pirates, as said pirates control the BlackMarket where all the nicest gear is, particularly the rare bits of LostTechnology such as advanced weapons and occasionally Star League-era 'Mechs.

* In ''VideoGame/AShortHike'' two stamina powerups, Golden Feathers, can be purchased for 40 coins each at the Visitor Center. The vendor remarks that "a boy" purchased all the other feathers. Upon reaching the entrance to the final area you find this boy, who talks to you rudely and sells four Golden Feathers for 100 coins each, a 2.5x markup! If you go through one of his dialog trees you discover he's stressed about paying off his college tuition of 400 coins. You can choose to donate 400 coins, and will receive a trading item that later results in a powerful stamina upgrade. If you do this before purchasing any feathers your kindness is rewarded further, as the boy sells all subsequent feathers for the normal 40 coin price thus saving the player up to 240 coins.

* ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]]''
** Hachi and Colin's abilities involve purchasing units at a discount. Unfortunately for Colin, you get what you pay for; his units have decreased attack. Hachi's units don't have these penalties, but his discounts aren't as deep as Colin's, though his power can make them MUCH cheaper. They're both considered a {{Gamebreaker}}.
** Kanbei's ability is the inverse, where he pays more for his units in exchange for better attack, essentially an inverse of Colin's ability.
