(this one was born from a discussion in General discussion, as a way to limit purchases in a reasonable way without impacting the idea of an open market overly)
From vibrant markets to common stores, Orussus and many other cities have various places where people leave their money, and obtain diverse items or services in return. Yet not everything may be available, even if it fits the gold piece limits.
The city of Orussus itself has a gold piece limit of 50,000 gp. Most items and services of that price or lower are available in Orussus. The one thing that limits this is the rarity of those who create the items and provide the service - outside of the player characters, people of 10th level or higher are very rare, though they do exist. The result of that is that items or services requiring a 10th or higher level character are not readily available, barring special circumstances (PCs opening a shop for them, special shop mentioned in city writeup, DM/judge approval).
A small list of what this entails is the following:

A small list of what this entails is the following:
- Magic Weapons and armor with an enhancement bonus of +4 or higher are out, since a character has to be at least 12th level to do that. Weapons and armor with a +3 bonus and abilities are still available, as long as they are below the gp limit.
- Items requiring 6th or higher level spells to create are out - a more detailed list will follow.
- Items requiring 4th or higher level bard spells are out.
- Items requiring 3rd or 4th level paladin or ranger spells are out.
- Staves, rings and psicrowns are out, since the creation feats require 12th level. <Alternate: These things are rare enough that the gp limit for them is 1/5 or 1/10 of the normal limit.>
- Items that read Caster Level 10+ generally are available unless they fulfill the 10th level limit in other ways. (As per the DMG errata, the Caster Level line is no prerequisite)
- Items that in some cases could be bought, and in other cases not (such as items requiring a spell that is 5th level for one class, but 6th in another) remain available.
