The blades are chipped and ruined or poor quality. The other non loot equipment is rendered undesirable, either filthy or clearly marked by evil or are so fouled that others would only ever want them for raw materials.The PC's could also find that much of what the bad guys have is severely damaged by the PC's as they defeat the bad guys.Finally give them disincentives to collect that crap. Make the actual loot very heavy so they have to choose between mundane equipment or the good stuff. The animal ball guys had a very ingenious way to git rid of a lot of extra loot. Small caverns. Tunnels and fissures that the PC's must go through but are barely big enough for the PC's to squeeze through. Actually the tunnels get smaller and smaller so the pic's leave a trail of abandoned equipment. Then the other bad guys who are opportunistic collect it so if they ever find their way back the equipment is long gone.Finally, crash the economy. If no one can buy the crap because they can't afford it, then maybe only the really valuable stuff is worth keeping.</blockquote>
