Buying magic items???? and what can they buy???

[Kae'Yoss]

The book did not have prices for magic items, so he just was not going to allow us to buy and sell them. He eventualy relented and allowed us to sell and in limited way, buy items. It took him a long time to come around though (we where level 13 IIRC).

What book did not have prices?

What book did not have prices?

AD&D DMG (if I recall correctly). It has been a while, but whatever system we where playing at the time did not have prices in the DMG. I think (did I mention it has been a while?) that it had an XP value that you could compare to the XP reward for gold and figure out an price.

My DM was following the rules... the rules just sucked.

Ah, that would be the 2nd edition AD&D DMG. Very weird indeed. If you didn't use the Random treasure tables, you automatically came into a low magic world... I actually kind of liked that.

Rules that suck? Well, that's AD&D2e for you.

I don't know whether there were GP values in that, but with AD&D I'm ready to believe (almost) everything.
