Yes, it returns the price of the 5th item in the store...here is one that uses information from the coldfront marketplace
The only problem is that it will return 0 for items which have not been bought today, i could fix it, but i am lazy atm 
PHP:
string [item] prices;
foreach i in $items[A, B, C]{
int it = i.to_int();
string Mall = visit_url ("http://kol.coldfront.net/newmarket/itemgraph.php?itemid="+it+"×pan=1&noanim=1");
string Item_price = substring ( Mall, (last_index_of ( Mall , "CURRENT AVG PRICE:" ) +42) , (last_index_of ( Mall , "</font> :: # BOUGHT THIS TIMESPAN:")-7) );
int Price = Item_price.to_int();
prices[i] = Price;
print(i);
print(Price);
}
map_to_file(prices,"prices.txt");
Note that if you are trying to build a mall bot that uses or requires up to date prices you will be shunned and scorned by this community.
Depending upon your purpose, historical_price() can replace mall_price(). Historical prices can be several days out of date but they are close enough for many purposes. More importantly, using them does not hit the KoL servers.
Since you are writing a file, if you are comfortable with tools besides ash, the file /data/mallprices.txt has the historical price information in table form and the data file itemdescs.txt can be extracted from the KoLmafia jar file to give you a mapping from item numbers to the more familiar string. Depending upon my mood, I have imported them both into a database as separate tables and used SQL to create a single more human friendly version. I have also used *nix shell scripting and the "join" command to do something similar.

i'm *NOT* building a mall bot. I'm not looking for anything to automate buying anything. I'm just looking for a way to be able to scan the mall for my favorite items once in a while. I do it manually at the moment, and was just looking for a faster way to do it.

Well, if you just have a list of fav items, you could look into Icon315's Daily Info script found here: http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?4248-Daily-Info
It has a section where you can just list which items you'd like it to look up, and it'll give you the information out of Coldfront automatically. Only as accurate as they want to pass along, but it does make it easy if all you want is your fav stuff.
