Find the right merchant -> tell them what you want to buy and sell -> market forces determine availability (AKA the wealth by town rules) -> wait a period (houserule says wait a day per 1000gp involved) -> make the pick up or drop off under secure conditions. The last bit is where it can go sour but with logical consequences such as word of mouth (even if all witnesses are dead, friends of the dead might know what was supposed to happen + there are divinations) there are strong incentives to maintain the contract. It is a bit silly to kill the golden goose so to speak.EDITOh yeah, so as I mapped the local world I've decided the town population/wealth. Currently only one city is a metropolis of 30,000 capable of exchanging 40,000gp items. For quest incentive I've stricken it with hard times where it is only as prosperous as a city one size smaller, i.e. 25,000gp availability. Regardless, items above 40,000 will have to be sold at a loss if their half price is above 40k - or somebody specific will have to be found. I also decided to limit scroll availability because the powerful npc's generally can't or wouldn't create them. No scroll above 6th level can be bought... maybe then I'll allow them to be sold at full price?</blockquote>
