I am pretty sure there are reasons for using the term that have nothing in the way of intent to ridicule. Besides... who are we to ridicule? We are a bunch of {hopefully} mature people spending our time debating online semantics regarding an opinion of a game of make believe  ....  :\ I agree with RC's definition, "... a MagicMart is a single place where one can buy whatever (or nearly whatever) magic items one wants at book (or near book) value."IMO, handwaving the shopping experience... with a proper allocation of time spent... can be a good method for keeping the game on track based on the groups playstyle. But not for a scenario like this:GM: You make it to the city late, just clearing the gates as they close at midnight. Checking with the guards you discover that the caravan you wish to join leaves at dawn from the southern gate. Okay.. you all rest up for the night.. is there anything you do before dawn?MagicMart shopper: Ya, I am going to go out and restock.. I buy {flips through books...scribbles notes.. pounds on calculater} 3,500 gp worth of goods, to include a double bitted spade enhanced with 'Move Earth' and 'Goggles of the Eagle'.... Then since I was riding on the cart I can get 6 hours of rest before dawn and can recover my spells.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Incidently, I would have no problem with a high level Mage using Teleport as a means to go from place to place while purchasing stuff.. its just like walking, only faster. And the Mage would have to know where to Teleport to... IMHO there should be teh medevial specialization and findig the right shop with the right seller who can acquire the item for you...but is not likely to have it on-hand, sitting in a display case right next to the monkey on a stick BBQ stand...</blockquote>
