[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7330798, member: 6925649"] Sounds to modern if you ask me. If you keep the magic items somewhere else other than at the shop, they can be stolen two additional places besides the shop, either at the storage facility or in route while being delivered. It I much easier to keep them in the shop rather than at a separate storage facility. the shop owner can't be in two places at once, he can't be guarding his magic items while running his store at the same time. Also you have the problem of the customer trusting the shop owner, if he shows them a catalog, how does the buyer know that what he is buying is real? Also another problem is that a good number of people are illiterate in a medieval setting, they can't read! Some powerful people hire scribes because they can't read themselves, reading and writing is a specialized skill, and not developed enough for modern strategies such as catalogs and "magic item Amazons" and the like.
