In my campaign there is an auction house that sells all sorts of things, and there is a monthly sale, although so far the players have been using the auction house as a way to sell magical curios, (such as a mechanical heart), not buy things.  I haven't bothered making a "system" for it (never had to) mind you.</blockquote>
