Right, no list can be consistent, between time and region - and most importantly: game world! Who is to say in your game world platinum isn't more common than iron? In medieval Europe, leather was fairly cheap, but steel expensive; In modern Detroit, an equal amount of leather is MANY times the price of steel.
But as stated, Low Tech isn't just a list of prices, it is a book of tech and how it fits into a world.
