If memory serves, the base DC is based on the base price of the object. So objects less than 1gp have a certain DC, then groups within a certain price range have higher DCs from there. I was considering the possibility of adding other modifiers for especially unique and/or complex items, despite the price.Well, all you really need is the city size (which should be evident) and the base cost of the item. I do recall it being a pretty simple chart and even that can be simplified. The idea is that higher-cost items would only be available in larger locations that could afford them.The buy check isn't modified by anything the PCs have, skills-wise. After the market value is established, they may wheel and deal as they see fit, but this is no different than normal. It just puts more of a framework around it. There is no reason why the GM couldn't roll the buy check in private to determine these things. A prepared GM could even have some of this figured out ahead of time.As to the second statement, I actually see some benefit there. There are several scenarios that could rise just from this, and some value-add. GMs no longer have to figure/fudge if the PCs have access to certain items. Anything that gives a character or player purpose and a desire to interact within the story isn't necessarily a bad thing. Think of it from a rogue's perspective. Illegal items would have some negative modifiers simply because they may be "too hot". It's a simple mechanic to keep players thinking about things that are often taken for granted.Thanks for the feedback!</blockquote>
