[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7305933, member: 813"] Who says? Listed in the DMG index is "Buying Magic Items pg 135-136". There is says, under a chart listing prices by magic item rarity and by character level, "Unless you decide you campaign works otherwise, most magic items are so rare that they aren't available for purchase." So, RAI perhaps magic items cannot be bought. But RAW, there are prices for magic items. Why would there be prices for items that cannot be purchased? Next, Xanathar contains a whole bunch of common magic items. Who makes a magic Pole of Collapsing in a world where magic items are so rare they cannot be purchased? Staff of Flowers? Really, a wizard is going to spend months working to make a mighty UNBREAKABLE ARROW in a world where magic is that rare? The existence of cutesy magic items (perfume of bewitching) runs counter to the idea that magic items are even rare. Not saying there are shops with regular daytime hours. But one or more by appointment only "stores" in Waterdeep? They must exist. [/QUOTE]
