Only one of the two databases we cross-check lists this item. We keep it here because it is almost certainly real, but we flag it rather than present single-sourced numbers as settled.
Does it earn its slot?
It costs 5c, but no resale figure is published for it, so we can't tell you what the appraiser gives back. Judge it on the effect rather than the margin.
What a support slot is for
Support gear is what keeps a crew alive rather than what kills things. In a four-person expedition these are the slots you divide up: one person carries the revive, one carries the light, and nobody carries two of the same thing. A crew that all packed the same support item has wasted three slots.
The opportunity cost is the honest way to judge any of it. Your pack is the binding constraint, and the same slot could come home holding a Metal Idol worth 80–120 at the Basic tier and 560–840 at Legendary, or two bottles of wine at up to 720.
For the 5c this costs, the shop will also sell you a Machete (5c, 22 damage) with change left over. Whether that trade is right depends entirely on the contract — which is the argument for reading it before you shop.

Censer questions
What does the Censer do in The Mound?
A hanging incense burner. Listed by only one of our two sources, so we flag it rather than publish numbers we can't corroborate.
How much is the Censer worth?
It sells to the appraiser for —, against a shop price of 5c.
