[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 4219680, member: 1288"] Fine. So replace the car in my example with a large, flawless emerald. It's [i]still[/i] something that's very expensive, but there's no common demand. And it's the sort of thing that a private citizen won't be able to sell for [i]nearly[/i] as much as an actual jeweler/dealer with the proper connections. [i]Especially[/i] in a PoL setting like 4E assumes, I have no trouble believing that the PCs aren't going to be have an easy time just "running across" other people with both the money and the need for magic weapons. On occasion, perhaps--and the DM could even make an adventure out of it--but certainly not regularly enough to take into account in the standard rules. (And of course all this is ignoring the fact that a game like D&D cannot have a system of economics that is both realistic [i]and[/i] balanced for game-play [i]and[/i] viable for all, or even most, styles of campaign.)
