[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 6320615, member: 23935"] When my campaigns have something similar, they are not shops per se, but more like realtor/brokers. You walk into a small brightly lit office where a person in high middle-class garb greets you and asks if you are a buyer or a seller. If you are a buyer, you get asked a series of questions to narrow down what you are looking for. If the broker knows of items similar to your desire, he brings out a series of descriptions and expected costs as well and copies of documentation representing claims of ownership, claims of authenticity, and any validations performed on the object ([I]Identify[/I], [I]Analyse Dweomer[/I], bard/sage proclamations, etc.) that the seller has made available. If the broker does not have a similar item on file, he will make enquires of other brokers and promise to get back as soon as something is found. He will ask if you are wiling to have the item constructed (if that is an option in the campaign) and explain the costs and time requirements if you are. Once something is found, if a buyer is interested sufficiently, the broker will arrange a deposit (typically 75% or more of the sale price -- 100% is preferred) at a respected third-party (money-lender, bank, noble family, merchant's guild) and contact the seller. The buyer can view and handle the item before closing the deal. If the buyer is satisfied, he presents any additional funds necessary and takes possession on the spot. If you are the seller, the broker asks to examine the item and for documentation you can provide as above. The broker will discuss his fee (typically 5-6% of the sale price) and give you a good idea of the what sales price is likely to attract attention for your item. He will recommend authentication and explain how the stronger forms of authentication improve the value of the item on the market. [/QUOTE]
