Rather than just liquidating your inventory, you could try something.Ex:You sell your old plate mail for double its market value to a desperate buyer in an area where metal armor is hard to find.Simple rules, many exceptions, that's the first rule in the PHB. 1/5 is a simple rule. Double price is an exception. The reason that the DM is a human, and not a computer, is that his/her intuition can account for things that a rulebook can't. You can try anything in D&D, that's why you are playing this and not WoW. If your DM does not allow exceptions to the rules when they make sense, get a new one.</blockquote>
