All the usual and many of the unusual magic items may be freely available "off the shelf."Magic items might be available by commission; you can "special order" an item and have it made for you, personally.  You can pray and make offerings to the Gawds, and in response (if your offerings were large enough) you will just happen to find the magic item you desire on your next adventure.A thin and possibly random selection of magic items might be available for sale, and you can buy what's on offer, or wait and wait until what you actually want happens to turn up. My personal preference as both a player and GM is for for commissioned items, custom made just for you. My players don't always share that preference, however. One idea I'm considering for my next campaign is to have a thin and randomly changing selection of magic items being available for sale, with the prices for these being heavily discounted. (To about 10% of the 'book' value.) Items acquired as treasure can be sold at this discounted price, or held in hopes of getting a full price - each month roll a 1% chance that an NPC will pay full price for the item. Similarly, it's possible to get just the item you want by paying full price instead of the common discounted on. You can commission the item or find someone with the item who wants full price for it.Of course I'll have to cut back on the coin and other mundane valuables handed out as treasure if I implement this.</blockquote>
