A price list is not a catalog. Its merely a guide to give some idea of relative comparative worth. For instance, using the real world, I know that the 10th Anniversary edition of Ticket to Ride has a value of about $80-100. A regular copy of monopoly has a worth of $10-15. The latter is likely for sale in Walmart in my town, but the former is not. Me knowing the value has nothing to do with me being able to walk into a store and buy it. But it does mean that if a friend has a copy of the deluxe Ticket to Ride for sale or trade, I know how much to offer if he asks. Likewise, I have friends who are very into guns. Its not uncommon for me to hear one offering another a deal on a rifle or other they want to unload. Knowing the relative value of said guns allows them to know whether or not they are being offered a good deal. Knowing the relative prices does not guarantee any particular rifle is for sale in town, especially if they are antiques. In the same way, I would assume that adventurers had a pretty good idea of the relative value of a +2 sword to a carpet of flying, though they might not have the immediate opportunity to buy either. And even in worlds where magic is less common, the DM should have an idea of comparative value in order to better facilitate things when the players want to barter or sell items.</blockquote>
