Really? You don't think that the majority of people (especially teenagers) would sell their grandmothers for a Ring of Invisibility? I'd sell my soul for one of them (which would make no difference, as I imagine my actions with it would send me straight to hell anyway). Boots of Speed? Belt of Flying? I mean, come on! A belt of frickin' FLYING! It takes coolness to a whole new level (literally)! A couple of Decanters of endless water could virtually end world thirst (and hunger through irrigation)!
But if no-one else would want them, that'd be even better for me, then.
I'm guessing those are what we would call exceptions. I think drothgery was referring to items that have modern day counterparts that do the job better and cheaper, and items that are too conspicuous to get away with using.
