Note D&D worlds do not have somehting like a modern economy. Artefacts are basically unavailable for sale at any price (or at least very very rarely it might get sold to get rid of it by a widow etc). IRL these are things that are naitonal treasures- the Mona Lisa, the Japanese imperial regalia, things like that. Legendary and very rare are things that are not unique (more than one exists) but they are virtually impossible to buy regardless of how much money you have. IRL it would be things like a a Pharoahs body, a Tiger tank. If such items are ever sold its more likely you have to be in the right place at the right time and be well connected (a masterwork painting gets sold). The more common items are obviously a lot more common but they can't be bought on the open market. A +1 sword would be like trying to get a WW2 bren gun or limited production car or antique sword. Without Ebay its gonna require effort to find. You have to go and find the right seller and/or make an effort to get one (assuming you can find it). You might be able to buy magic sword for example but getting a specific type would be good luck.  Being an adventurer of course you can find such things easier than an average person. Being a soldier in WW2 for example finding a MP-44 late war would be a lot easier than trying to find one 70 years after in any particular location.</blockquote>
