-If a PC wants to sell a magic item to another PC, no one receives "GP XP" for the sale. The PC that recovered the item receives "XP XP" for doing so, but never GP XP. GP XP is only earned when the item is sold on the open market, and all items sold on the open market leave the game.((OD&D II Monsters & Treasure explicitly states that "open market" means "out of the game", and this makes sense for balance purposes. Allowing the players to keep a magic item and earn GP XP from it is basically double dipping. It's cool in-world to imagine higher level characters being customers/benefactors of lower level characters, but it is a big game balance issue and so is prohibited.))+If a PC wants to sell a magic item to another PC, no one receives "GP XP" for the sale.
