Sure magic might not be commonly for sale, but what do you do if the PCs find a magic item they don't want and decide to sell it... are you really going to convince them there are no buyers? Or what if the wizard wants to explore the idea of selling continual flames - who is to stop him?In my experience, my most magic-item heavy games were not actually under 3rd edition, but under 2nd edition when there was no way in the adventure for the adventurers to get rid of the copious amounts of magical gear they were finding at around 7th-10th level. Everything was gleefully kept. (and the problem was made worse when I was sharing DM duties and not fully in control myself of what was being handed out). Players being able to sell some of their magic items is sometimes a good thing.</blockquote>
