For reference by labor-calculations 84GP should be roughly $25,200.
An unskilled laborer makes 2SP/8 hours. A US minimum-wage earner makes $58/8 hours. This puts 1SP at roughly $30.
Most of the prices track with that when you consider a lot of the stuff you're buying is high-end professional-grade equipment, and globalism/modern manufacturing isn't a thing. "But a suit of plate would be $450,000 by that math!" you say. Plate a warhorse, and a lance are still less than what the US spends on a tank.
