Let's take our epic campaign (26th-level chars now): It's forgotten realms, and we have no Problems getting to places like Waterdeep, Silverymoon, Calimport, and even the odd extraplanar Metropolis. So we have no problem buying the non-epic stuff we want (this was so from early on, since Silverymoon is in the area we started in), and we do so, usually (sometimes we have to visit two or three cities to find it, but that's OK). Of course, we also find treasure with enemies, and we use the useful stuff (I'd never have bought a periapt of wisdom, but the party druid got a better one and I got the old one), and some things we even commision (usually improvement of items, particularly my sword, since it's an intelligent Item and I won't part with it). But it's something else with the epic stuff! As those items are far from commonplace (as epic characters aren't all that common, and not all of them create), we have to look for those things, if we want to buy them (sometimes there's only a single one in the Realms, and that doesn't have to be for sale, or it's whereabouts known, so we must seek, negotiate, and sometimes go on an interplanar shopping spree, and some things must be taken from hostile creatures, or be earned with a quest).In other games, the items' availability (and the freedom of the party) is not so high, and we can only buy what they have, and they have less than everything there is, so we must be glad with the stuff we find (either in a shop or as treasure). Both systems are funny.</blockquote>
