What are the most cost-effective coin purses on the market?
 

Looking for a coin purse to reduce coin weight, doesn't have to be very good, but whatever I can get that is reasonable and doesn't cost a bloody fortune, and can maybe hold a bit of equipment like food/drink, or small loot like gems.

What are my options?

I don't think studded coin purse counts as a container or reduces coin weight.

it says the small coin purse sells for 4,000pp on average, is that accurate? How much would a medium go for in that case?

Tiny would probably be enough, just to hold food/drink and cut down on gold/silver weight.

Good luck finding someone selling a small coin purse. Searching the forums shows only 3 people have ever listed them here. I am sure more have been sold in game but it is going to be hard to find.

What are my options then for a coin purse that's actively on the market and doesn't cost a gold bar from fort knox?

Don't carry coin :) Also see "vendor banking" (ie. carry a gem of significant value, find a vendor with free space in their inventory, then sell and rebuy your gem over and over; you lose a small amount on each sale, but you convert your lesser coin into plat without a bank).

You can definitely find tiny coin purses for sale occasionally. And they are really cheap I think... 300p? I know I had one on my monk that I bought in ec.

Out of curiosity I decided to search "small coin purse" on my EC mule's massive log file. Zero hits with years of data.

Tiny would be sufficient. I could store my food/drink in it even.

I'm also going to need some Shralok packs for both my Pally and future Ranger. How bad/time consuming is it farming those in Highpass on Blue?

I farmed them in Nektulos on Green, and in a few hours I had enough to fill all my bag slots (5 or 6, I forget). YMMV.
