[QUOTE="billd91, post: 1822015, member: 3400"] Wow. I find it nearly inconceivable to sell of a +3 sword as a low level party of adventurers. What we'd normally do is remember who got it and then defer any significant magic treasure for that person until we felt that the +3 sword was reasonably matched by the goodies owned by other PCs. In other words, we do want people to have their approximate fair share... eventually. I think one of the problems is that the players want instant gratification in equal measure when really they should be looking at having an equal share in the long run. I also suspect that DMs, and perhaps 3E with its emphasis on balancing treasure and monster CRs by market value of the equipment the PCs tote around, make it too easy to think of magic items as easy buy and sell commodities. Personally, in my Greyhawk game, it's not that easy to find magic to buy and it's not that easy to find buyers. [/QUOTE]
