Buying and Selling
Assigning values to items can be difficult sometimes, but there are many resources available to give you an idea of how to price things. Your best gauge is your players after all, and shop keepers are always likely to start a little high and haggle. For you as the Storyteller, this is just one more avenue to have fun with your players.
