I don't think it's necessary to have a "complete economy system", something very simple would suffice. For example a table that has on one axis an item's "rarity level" and on the other axis the locale's "market level".The rarity level of an item will be a number that depends on its value (e.g. market price / 1000, round down) and some modifiers like the following examples:- exotic weapon +1- racial-specific item +4 (when in an area with few or no of that race) or +2 (when in an area where the race is only minority)- magic item + minimum CL- item of exceptional size +2- class-specific item +1- very popular items -1 (e.g. dagger, longsword)The market level of a town will depend on the population, and then modified by other factors like- town is centre of commerce +4- town is capital or other centre of power +2- town has a sea or river port +2- town has one major road connection +1- stalling economy -2- isolated town -3- town is under siege -10So we'd get a table maybe as big as 20x20 that would fit a page, and then some modifiers that would move us up/down the rows or left/right the columns (think of the Leadership table as an example). The lists of modifiers could have maybe a dozen of them each. The content of each cell of the table is a % value that the DM rolls to let the players know if they found the item for sale (retry allowed only after 1 week).</blockquote>
