So what if I wasn't going to buy the gloves for 4k in town, but I am willing to buy them for 2k? I can just see how this would play out...LostSoul said:Exactly. Like one of the PCs. If you find a pair of Gloves of Dexterity +2, and you were going to buy them for 4k once you got back into town, those Gloves are worth 4k. So why do you get them for 2k? Yeah, you were lucky, but what about the other PCs who have to sell that +2 Monkey Bane Halberd in order to buy more spells, a pearl of power, armour, etc.? You get the break, they don't.
Blastum the Wizard: Okay, everybody, it's time to divide up the treasure. Let's see...we've got a pair of Gloves of Dexterity +2. We can sell them to Greedo Magicmerchant for 2,000 gp when we get back to town. Also, there's a ruby...
Cutty the Fighter: Hey, I wouldn't mind buying those Gloves from the party. Another +1 to my AC couldn't hurt.
Blastum: Great! Since you're such a good friend and all, we'll only charge you 4,000 gp.
Cutty: Huh? You just said we were going to sell them to that grifter Greedo for 2,000!
Blastum: Well, yeah...but that's the "stranger price." You get the "friend rate."
Cutty: What the...?
Yeah. That makes sense.
