[QUOTE="Grabuto138, post: 4333826, member: 61053"] How many 15th level knights are there? How likely is the lord to go to a secondary market to purchase expensive items rather than relying on a trusted vendor? Do the lords and guild have trusted crafters to make exactly what they want? Do rich people tend to use eBay for expensive, important purchases or do they tend to pay full retail in order to assure a good product from a trusted vendor? And so we are forced to introduce the concept of opportunity cost into an already confused conversation. Time spent screwing around with a used weapon from a dubious vendor (taking it to a gunsmith, trying it at the range etc.) is time not spent training, resting and hanging out with the kids. I would buy my weapon retail and focus on the important things. This also assumes that the wandering salesman would let you borrow the weapon to have it appraised and to try it out. Wait, this sounds like a SKILL CHALLENGE, hanging out with the rich lord for a day will he proofs the magic sword you are selling. Cool. I don’t understand what you mean. Sorry. The rules start on page 70 of the DMG. Since a skill challenge is an adventure, and adventures often have material rewards, it would ultimately be balanced. [/QUOTE]
