[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6414526, member: 13009"] I am sure there will be some rules for it in the DMG, one of the things associated with rarity will be price range. From the beta test. [B]Buying Magic Items[/B] Unless you decide your campaign works otherwise, magic items are, by and large, so rare that no market exists for them. Situations might arise that allow characters to buy or sell magic items. Buying magic items might be easier in a city with a magical academy or a large temple, or in some other location that serves as a hub where adventurers can sell their loot. For example, an apothecary might offer a small selection of potions, or the adventurers might hear rumors of a black market auction where magic items are sold. Common magic items, such as certain potions and scrolls, can sometimes be procured from an alchemist or a spellcaster. Individuals who aren't normally in the business of selling magic items might want something other than gold in exchange. For example, an NPC mage might create a scroll or adventurers if they complete a quest for her. [B]Rarity[/B] Magic item rarity serves several purposes in the game.
