Well the easiest way seems to simply use an else if:

if ($item->price1) {
  echo "From euros {$item->price1}";
} else if ($item->price2) {
  echo "From euros {$item->price2}";
} else {
  echo 'please ask';
}

You can always just store the values to variable and see if it's filled. Also, note that PW provides a native way (shortcut, really) for getting the first non-empty field value: $item->get("field1|field2|field3") etc.

// like this:
$price = $item->get("price1|price2");
if ($price) echo "From: € " . $price;
else echo "please ask";

// this works too:
$price = $item->get("price1|price2");
echo $price ? "From: € " . $price : "please ask";

I had forgotten about the $item->get('field1|field2') syntax, thanks for the reminder, it's really useful!
