I suppose that is a lot like adjusting the price of Maine
lobsters to "market". ;^)
You can do it with CommonAdjust:
CommonAdjust specials:price:, ;products:price, &{Vend::ClientPricing::lobsters();}
In that particular case Vend::ClientPricing is actually a perl module in
lib/Vend. I'd guess you could do it with code from catalog.cfg but
I've never really taken the time to figure that out.
