Your conditionals are not checking the actual input. Try this.

switch(input("What will you buy?") in list("Gold","Silver","Butter","Eggs","Cancel"))

    if("Gold")
        // Do something here
    if("Silver")
        // Do something here
    if("Butter")
        // Do something here
    if("Eggs")
        // Do something here
    if("Cancel")
        // Please, come again!


Your if statements are checking whether strings ("Stone Price=10", "Wood Price=50") return true before executing the code below them, not whether the player selected stone over wood. Strings do return true, therefore the code is attempting to purchase every possible item for the player. To better understand how strings return true, execute this code:

if("Do strings return true?")
    src <<"Yes! They do!"
else
    src <<"No! They do not!"
