During treasure divisions, in determining equal shares of the total share - do you use the book value of magic items (etc) or the sale value (typically half in D&D)?

So instead of a merchant ripping you off, the rest of the party is ripping you off. Selling a periapt of wisdom +2, split four ways, each share is worth 500 gp. That's the most you could hope to get for it. But if one person keeps it, each share jumps up to 1,000 gp. The player who likes to hoard magic items is a cash cow for everyone else.Book value, never heard anybody try to claim sale value. It was always treated that the book value is what it's really worth, and the sale value is what merchants cheat you and rip you off for.
In 5 years of 3rd Edition, none of the groups I've played with have seen it as being unfair, it's just the way things are, that's the price in the book, that's what it's worth. That's what it would cost to replace it, so that's what it's really worth.JustKim said:So instead of a merchant ripping you off, the rest of the party is ripping you off.
