Half Price for Magic Items is More Trouble Than Value

[K]

Here's the idea:

Magic items resell for their value. Magic items are created at the same value.

Basically, the reasoning is that DMs calculate the amount of treasure to give to people in an adventure. The fact that some of that treasure is being sold at half price means that the DM has to adjust the next adventure to have more or less treasure because he can't know what the PCs will sell f keep.

I mean, gems and the like sell for full value....what makes magic items less valuable so that the reseller needs a special discount.

Essentially, making everything bought and sold at full value just means that you won't have item crafters with twice the amount of magical equipment that they should have and all PCs always have te right amount of wealth.
