Then, a diamond the size of a soccer ball is likely to attract hordes of thieves and criminals, cannot be valued at all, and even if the king is willing to buy it, gathering several tons of gold pices may prove unpractical. In fact, how one may value the price of a unique item? Just search for some excentric and rich NPC and try to convince him to buy the thing, and it will depends on his tastes, his mood of the moment, and of course if he has money for that at that time. (So, for example, the rich eccentric is willing to give you 54,327 gp for that soccer ball-sized diamond. In fact he says this is all the money he has, but it couldbe a lie... You tell him: "What? You are kidding us, this diamond is worth 1,000,000 gp!"; and so he says: "And who is going to buy it? The evil emperor? You perfectly know what happened to the last adventurers who tried to sell him the fabled Orb of Drulxithaan, don't you?".)I would adjudicate this on the spur of the moment. First looking the PHB/DMG for suggestion, then making it clear these are price right now, not the forever everywhere price for that stuff/service.</blockquote>
