[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9478354, member: 29398"] Which is why the best in-game way of getting something evaluated is to go to an artificer or mages' guild and ask "If I wanted a magic item X with properties Y, Z, and A, what would it cost me to have you make one?". The answer given is the item's base value. Except unless the item is truly unique it's not unknown. The odds are extremely high the item - or something very similar - has been seen/bought/sold/crafted before, and somebody - be it an artificer, a guild, a fellow adventurer, or whoever - will know its value at least to a round number. A price list can also take into account other factors such as usefulness and rarity. Indeed, particularly when they're so easily preventable by having a useful price list. :) [/QUOTE]
