The players handbook does not contain optional rules or different ways of doing things. All that stuff is contained in the DMG. Plus if there is one thing we should have learned about 4e by now, it’s that there are no absolute rules anymore. Every rule can be overwritten by something more specific such as a specific person who is willing to pay more for a certain item. Granted the DMG does not actually contain any discussion on magic item selling, and it might be nice if it did. But even if there was a discussion on why this rule was in effect, and how the DM might sometimes allow players to sell for extra, it would not change the way the rule was worded in the PHB</blockquote>
