Treasure and what you can expect to get for it....

I know some of this but would like other people thoughts.

Rule of thumb I always offer half and work from there.

Shops have overheads, taxes, staff, rent, protection, utilities to pay; Adventurer not so much.

I usually assume the gp value listed in the adventure (or that I come up with) is the sell value, not the "asking price" - in other worse, the listed gp value is what the PCs should receive in coinage when they cash it in. In the highly unlikely instance that the PCs are for some reason buying exotic furs or going antiquing, you can apply a mark-up then. Trust me, it comes up a lot less often - you'll save yourself a bundle of senseless percentage-figuring!
