Cam lost?

[Sphara]

Just a little observation:
I gave Camlost gauntlets to a shopkeeper in order to id some curses. It definitely does not appear there anymore, but it still doesn't seem to have a "LOST" status in game history?

11159 1250' Found the Set of Gauntlets 'Camlost'
20925 2350' Found the Cloak 'Holcolleth' (LOST)

Looking in store.c when a shopkeeper changes inventory, in this function:

store_delete_random

it runs:

if (obj->artifact) {
		history_lose_artifact(player, obj->artifact);

in the function:

store_carry

it doesn't. (and doesn't in the functions calling store_carry)

According to the Hintbook, here are its stats:
The Set of Gauntlets 'Camlost' (-11,-12) [2,+0]
-5 to STR, DEX
Aggravates
Level 20, Rarity 12, 2.5 lbs, 0 Gold

The fact that its value is zero indicates it's a troll or easter egg, seems to me

[Sky]

unfortunately, anything that has a value of zero or less, once sold, disappears.

for example, if you sold a staff for 10g and it ID as a Staff Of Darkness, it would be great to buy it back and use it to cast Minor Recharging for the XP.

You can buy a wand of mm for that. Or unsquelch after clearing level the next time and pick up some device.
