I think this would definitely be one of those things where the personality of the player (as well as the dynamic of the player with the other individuals in the group) will affect the outcome greatly, another concern is what if some think his suggestion, for whatever reason is good enough but others don't... would it then fall on the GM to judge?   Well for the most part since the DM is controlling distribution, I don't think it will arise often.  The one scenario I think might happen (and still not often) is where one or more party members are killed and the others grab their magic weapons... but for the most part I agree with you... I don't think it will tend to be a common occurrence in the game unless the DM wants it to be.</blockquote>
