The game is balanced so that a character has items level -1, level and level +1 and money = level-1. So you're telling me that if I sell one of my items that's not off?
5th level character expected to have 4480gp wealth
I sell off my level +1 item, I now have 3040 wealth, 1440 gp behind. How DOESN'T the GM have to fix that.
You could sell all your items then its really off, but that was your choice to sell your items. If you decide you don't like your +2 widget and sell it you don't have the +2 to hit/damage. Oh well. Your choice. Wish Lists are used to mitigate the risk that you're given loot you don't want and be behind the wealth curve.
So say your 5th level PC sells all his gear and buys a level-1 item with the starting gold then sells it again. He's left with 816 gold. So what you were dumb and sold everything, it's not the DM's responsibility to hold your hand and make sure you are ok. When I DM I look at the players reward sheet to give them approx. 1 item/level. If they received one already and sold it, guess what you got your rewards for that level.
