[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 363229, member: 545"] I have to say the PHB method works fabulously well in my opinion. The only sticky point is that it basically depends on having reliable prices on items. The DM agrees this pick method goes smoothly so he is cooperative on that point. The idea of bidding starting from 50% of full price for bidding works well. It discourages very strange, expensive, worthless items from lingering in the party, they get cashed out. This benefits the party as a whole because it injects funds for potions, scrolls, spells, etc. With the easy availabilty of minor magic items in 3e, this works out well. Our experience so far is that players are happy to pick up most odd items for 50-55% of full price. They can always be cashed out later, so it is actually an encumberance helper in a way; don't have to carry around so much coin. We'll see what happens when we get a cursed item... [/QUOTE]
