This could explain the 1/5 market value, a long chain to retail and if the adventurers meet someone in that chain they would happily sell the item for market value to them (with a little wiggle room for Rogues with a hard neck).There also is a niche for some merchants to have a wide range of magic items for sale, they transport them around in wagons in a couple of bags of holding. A very industrious Eladrand wizard with many rituals could make a lot of money. Anyway, I'm going to use the 1/5 market value as the Lazy Mans alternative; an adventuring merchant has the gold there and then or wait and see if you can get a better price in the city. There could be good side-treks for adventurers looking to flog their gear at better prices.</blockquote>
