Pirengle, the ToB price differences you mention sound like "No-stock" issues to me. "No-stock" is where a merchant does not already have any of X item, so he assumes that X item is rare, and will pay more for it. This gets particularly ironic in ToB, as so few of the merchants carry non-enchanted items, so you can easily sell a Composite Longbow for 60gp--whereas Ribald would only pay 15 for it.

I exploited this just today--gleefully abusing the Unlimited Bag of Holding, I weaseled over 600,000 gp out of Karthis al-Hazzar. (As if I needed the money.)
