I would see it as an exercise in futility. Why should I go through all this trouble to earn extra profit, if the cosmic gods will punish me by reducing my future adventuring profit to balance out? Especially if I know the cosmic gods will also make it difficult for me to simply spend that cash on something else I value, like a new magic weapon?Much easier to just dump the item on the local wandering merchant for a fraction of its worth and get on with my adventuring. Oh boy, cue up the next monster for me to kill and take its stuff.</blockquote>
