[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6923126, member: 6701872"] My comments aren't directed at you for bringing this up, nor for thinking it'd be useful to have a more-detailed system for pricing items bought and sold than what is presented in the DMG. So no apology is needed. My comments are directed at the attitude with which the person that devised this list presents their ideas on pricing, and the reasoning claimed to be used seeming to be missing some significant parts where-in it is explained what assumptions are being made to quantify how useful an item actually is - or even give the barest attempt at explaining why they think "lolrandom" items can't or shouldn't be priced, or only the Staff of the Magi is "too much power", while a vorpal sword is priced at about 15% the price assigned a holy avenger, or how "breaks bounded accuracy" can be true of items that provide giant strength and not true of +1, +2, or +3 weapons and/or ammunition.
