The forgotten realms setting for the most part is balanced. Places like waterdeep and lusken are hubs of trade and are expected to have a certain amount of magic items. But they wont have all and they wont have certain types of items. Not to mention who you buy it from and the effects of just buying from them. For example in waterdeep they have a few good places to get magic items but getting a magic item from blackstaff tower is not the same as getting one from the enclave of the red wizards. Not to mention skullport under waterdeep that as great or nearly as great a trade hub as waterdeep above it but with a different set of rules. You may find an item in both waterdeep and skullport, but in waterdeep you would have to pay gold for it. The same does not apply in skullport where you could simply trade it for a favor or if you are strong enough just take it by force depending on who is selling. After all in skullport murder is not the same as in waterdeep. But as always the end result rest with the DM and how they want to do things. Personally buying things in a place like skullport would be an adventure into itself for me. I just hope I dont try and kill the shop keeper thats really a demon in a different form <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> lol</blockquote>
