That doesn't compute. The only reason you'd have trouble selling drow weapons to people that could use 'em (dwarves, svirfneblin, kings with caverns leading to the Underdark that they want guarded, etc.) would be because the drow have a nasty, evil reputation, and folks might not want something that once belonged to nasty, evil people. Yet selling a weapon that is itself actually nasty and evil won't be a problem? Come on. Find a neutral dwarf that doesn't give a flying elf about where the weapons he's going to sell to his shady Underdark contacts came from. Arrange to sell (through an intermediary, if need be) the weapons to some duergar or other drow-hating types that can use the weapons and will enjoy the irony of skewering dark elves with their own daggers. Find a group that's willing to pay to take the weapons out of circulation. Use the weapons as sacrifices to your favorite drow-hating deity. Donate the weapons to your favorite drow-hating church or organization as a way of building good will, reputation, and possibly earning favors and/or gifts ("Oh Holy Mother, our friends have been petrified, and the rest of us cursed, and we have no money." "No problem. We remember your deeds.") Find some deep dwarves or deep halflings to sell 'em to. Find some tritons or locathah to sell 'em too -- not much sunlight in the deep water, either. Sell them to an extraplanar merchant who can resell them on a plane of insufficient sunlight. Sell them to an assassins' guild that hates you, then sunburst the hell out of them when they come after you. Sell them back to some other band of drow. Keep the weapons as backups for a battle at night/underground/on an overcast day. Get to 13th level, and cast control weather everyday, so that all days are overcast. Etc.It's not like there's no way to get coin out of the weapons. It isn't even too much harder than selling other magic weapons & armor, let alone selling evil or off-sized magic items. Unloading Huge magic items would be a lot tougher, IMO.</blockquote>
