Cost 200,000$An origional painting from a well known artist costs less.The key is how common transactions involving the item are, and how specific the demand is.  I see +X versions of common weapons as the car.  Consider a +4 longsword.  There are a reasonable number of them on the market at any one time.  In addition there is relativly little difference between them.  They might have different guards. hilt decorations, or slightly different blades.  Just like the sports car may be a different color, or have different options.  Provided these minor differences don't matter, a sword of such power is there to be found with some legwork in a major city, just as a sportscar is to be found with some legwork in a modern major city.However more exotic items are more like the painting.  Consider a +2 undeadbane, shocking great scimitar.  There might be only one in existance at any one time.  There might be zero and it needs to be comissioned.  It might be owned by someone who wouldn't part with it for mere money.  The owner might be willing to sell it, but because of the low likelyhood of there being a buyer isn't trying.  Finding this sword would take a comission,luck, theft, travel and/or exhorbitant prices even in a major country, and it might not be possible at all;  Just as finding a painting of a scene of type X by artist Y would in the present day US.</blockquote>
