I try to figure out its abilities as a % of the item without the origional abilities.
So for example celestial armor costs 22,400 and a regular +3 mithril chainmail would be 13,300. So a 60% increase.
Thus a Celestial +5 mithril full plate (usually 36,650) would cost 58,640.
It is a bit expensive, but one workaround.

another way you can look at it is how much the abilitys cost. in the case of the celestial armor, the diffrence between it and the +3 mithiral chain is 9100gp. given that there are abilities in the DMG that just add straight cost, it wouldn't be to far of a streach to say that the special abilities of celestial armor are worth 9100gp.this is of corse my take on this particular subject

Heh, those were great suggestions but I ran into a snag when checking it. I wanted to get the Devilhusk armor (+5 Hide armor from a Barbed Devil, on a successful Grapple check the barbs do 3d8 + 1 1/2 Str. damage) and apply Halfweight (this armor is treated as Light armor) to it. The snag is that +5 Hide armor costs 25,000 gp and Devilhusk costs 16,655 gp! Would you just take the base Devilhusk cost and add the Halfweight cost (+3 equivalence, or 9,000 gp), for 25,655gp?

actualy the price on devilhust armor is 33,165gp - it costs 16,655gp and 1320xp to make
so the price for your lovely barbs is 8k, corse considering thats it is made from the skin of the barbed devil, its probably just the material cost and the side effect is the damage
