The Bazaar

Updated 15th Jubilee, 1409YR.

please see the Accounting and Timekeeping sheet for current Irregular finances, items on consignment, as well as a list of all common and uncommon goods with up to date prices and weights.

Common Goods

Common goods can be freely bought in town. Don't even ask me or talk to me about them. Just deduct your own gold and add them to your character sheet during downtime or at the beginning or end of session.

Common goods include:

Everything in the General Gear, Food, Clothing, Packs, and Alchemical Items tables
Everything on the Animals table except for Camels and Elephants
All armor and barding up to 100gp value
All melee and ranged weapons up to 100gp value
All alchemical items

Uncommon Goods

Uncommon Goods can be commissioned. Doing so costs the full normal price, half up front, and half on delivery. Delivery takes 1d4 weeks.

Uncommon goods include:

Armor and barding over 100gp value
Melee and Ranged weapons over 100gp value
Masterwork items
Single use magic items under 500gp value

Rare Goods

Rare goods can not be purchased unless they show up in the pawn shop. These are generally what one thinks of as treasure, and are usually only attainable via adventure.

Rare goods include:

Permanent magic items
Single use magic items over 500gp value
Art, jewelry, and gemstones

Appraisal

Some rare items may require appraisal by an expert to know their true value. If you do not know the value of what you hold, you are more likely to get fleeced by the savvy businessbeings at the bazaar. Getting a piece of art, jewelry, or a handful of gemstones appraised by a neutral expert costs 10gp. Paying this lets you know the proper value of the item so you can haggle appropriately. Getting a magic item appraised and identified costs 100gp, whereapon the GM will inform you of its full abilities, how to activate it, and so on, in addition to its market value. Some particularly tricky, cursed, ancient, or powerful artifacts may flummox modern identifiers though. The GM is free to give partial identifications in exchange for partial fees at her discretion. The identifier will alert the irregular that the item has further qualities they were unable to divine.

10gp - determine the value of piece of art, jewelry, or a handful of gemstones
100gp - determine the value of a magic item, as well it's properties, powers, and means of activation.

Selling Things

Common or Uncommon goods can be readily sold at market for 1/4 of their listed price, or 1/2 of their listed price on a successful Persuasion check opposed by the sellers Spirit (assume d6 if the buyer isn't detailed). If the item is unusual and hasn't been appraised, and the seller loses this battle of wills, the GM may offer any price, regardless of the items value, since the buyer recognizes that the seller doesn't know the items worth.

Finding Sellers

Rare, illegal, or niche goods can be harder to offload. In order to sell these, you will have to find a buyer. This counts as a downtime activity. Roll

Consignment and the Pawn Shop

If you want more for your goods or want to avoid the legwork of finding a buyer, they can be put up on consignment at the Pawn Shop. The item must have a known value (get it appraised first!), but you can get up to 100% of the listed price on consigned goods. However, it takes some time. Each week, for each item on consignment, roll 1d6x*100 (or half that if the item is Niche). If the result is greater than the items list price, the item sells, and the consigner recieves 100% of the list price. If the result is 75% or greater of the list price, the seller makes a Spirit roll with a -1 penalty for each week the item has been on consignment. On a success, she doesn't sell the item, but keeps it for another week. On a failure, she sells it, and the consigner recieves the rolled offer in gold pieces.

Players may also make offers on goods consigned by other players at the pawn shop.
