[QUOTE="Humanaut, post: 4803323, member: 49498"] Generally I'm running with Aboyd here. In 30 years of DnD I've never had a Wal-Mart magic item shop. As a player or DM, and our games never suffered. Now if we as PC's got magic items and eventually wanted to sell one, it seems to reason that others in the world would come to the same situation and there would be a small market for magic. These generally took place in larger cities, in the Wizards Guild, and was a chore to buy/sell, heck - even to get IN. You never get full price for magic you sell, and are never guarenteed to find what you want. Potions and scrolls being easier. Sometimes you'd find a shop for potions, or a smith might have a +1 sword or whatever. Clerical items easier to come by (maybe) at a large temple. I generally go by the rule that if you want magic items, go out and FIND them. Sometimes one can gather info on a specific item, for example I had a PC once really really want a two handed vorpal sword. He was able to find info on the location of one... owned by a Death Knight... he never went for it, still had fun with his PC... who had a vampiric ring of regeneration mind you! :^) Whatever trips your trigger, that's my game though and we have fun!
