[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5692357, member: 6669384"] In my games, when someone goes looking for a "magic shop", they're either dealing directly at a Guild Hall, or with a broker. Nobody in their right mind tries to rob the Guild Hall directly. The broker/dealer is the little shop that sells Alchemist's Mercy (, Everburning Torches and similar minor magics. They sell components and odd materials to the local spell casters. Magic swords? Magic bags? Wands? Stuff like that isn't just sitting around on a shelf. It's in the field, being used. You want to buy a +3 Bohemian Ear Spoon (Left handed, of course)? Well, he might know a guy who knows a guy... Long story short, you'll pay him a small fee to locate the item you want, or someone who can make it. Then he'll broker the deal, and take his percentage out of the middle. Come back in a few days and he'll let you know what he can find. Does he have it sitting in a hole in his back yard? Maybe. But he isn't going to tell you that. He is also never going to admit that he has enough cash around to buy magical loot from PCs. He'll have your money in the morning... [/QUOTE]
