I treat magic items like antiques. There’s no primary market, and standard pricing, but that doesn’t stop people from buying and selling them. There may even be stores that buy and sell them, but they look less like Walmart and mire like Obscura. You can’t just go down to the Fantasy Costco and pick up a 12-pack of Flametongues, you have to find a collector, see what they have and what they’re willing to part with, and haggle a bit. If you want something specific, you have to hunt down someone who has one.I love that 5e makes no magic shops the default, but it was annoying to me how little advice there was for those who wanted to include some form of magic item trade. Fortunately, Xanathar’s Guide did eventually add the kind of advice I had wished the DMG had included, so I’m pretty happy with them stare of magic item trade now.</blockquote>
