(Maybe I'm wrong.)  It's not that items absolutely can never be sold or for sale, it's that selling is such a unique thing that there is no set market or rules-of-engagement to explain how.  Sure your players can sell an item, but to whom?  That's a story waiting to be told.  What they can't (by default) is walk into a city and quickly exchange an extra magic item for some cash and walk out.  Or simply walk into the city drop a bag of cash and walk out with an item.  By default.  Of course the DMG does give some advice and a rough outline of item rarities and price ranges if the the DM so chooses to do this, but it's not an assumed part of the system unlike the previous two editions.That's the crux of some folk's disappointment as I understand it.  They want a detailed list, prepared by WotC, of the prices for all of the items.  Personally, I think they are asking too much and for the game to cater to their style of playing (campaign, power level, story-type, etc) but I don't fault them for being disappointed that it's not there.  I do fault them for spending more time complaining about how easy it would be to do and not taking some initiative and doing themselves.</blockquote>
