If you are going to model anything similar to a middle ages style economy, you are probably going to have a guild, probably the Alchemist's Guild, that controls the production and sale of things like potions in any town of any size. (Trade guilds were ubiquitous in urban areas, and served mostly to enforce monopolies on the production of goods). The 30 potions won't be held for sale by a single producer, but by a dozen.Either that, or you go to a group that has a lot of capital, like say a church. Most campaigns probably don't have anything similar to the midaevil Catholic Church with its massive wealth (if you do, they probably control much of the sale of these sorts of magic item), but the temples are probably reasonably wealthy anyway. They would have the capital to stock up on items, or the connections to procure them.</blockquote>
