                  Well, I've certainly not got a perfect solution, but I figured this
                  was ok, since the real world hasn't got a perfect economy either. So,
                  the first thing I did was to stop worrying about getting everything
                  perfect, and instead looked to minimise the damage dealt by things
                  being 'wrong'.
                  
                  In essence, what any character wants from a trade is a 'good deal'.
                  Rather than worry about trying to quantify how good a deal it is, I
                  made some loose but generally fair rules to decide whether an NPC will
                  make a certain trade or not.
                  
                  As mentioned previously on this list, value is generally a function of
                  scarcity and utility. Utility can be pretty subjective, so in general
                  I ignore it. However, it is certainly possible to make NPCs that ask
                  for certain types of items, and will reject others. Scarcity is much
                  easier to measure. You could do it statistically, by scanning the
                  database and seeing how many of each item exist. (This works most
                  easily with template-based objects where there aren't so many
                  individual types. eg. Diku Mud. With procedurally generated items,
                  eg. Diablo, it's probably best to check for the scarcity of the
                  component parts of the item rather than the individual item itself.)
                  Also, in a large world, especially a very persistent one, you are
                  likely to find that certain items are commonplace in some areas but
                  are rare in others. This correlates directly to real-world trade in
                  ancient times (think of silk traders from the Orient) and is easy to
                  do, providing you have some way of tracking which items are common in
                  which places. This could be done statistically, as above, or perhaps
                  hard-coded on a per-object (a 'native region' variable on object
                  archetypes) or per-trader (list of specific item ID numbers he or she
                  will accept).
                  
                  So, an NPC trader will have an inventory of items that he considers
                  'low value', and will accept items in exchange that he considers 'high
                  value'. The inventory can be generated in the ways detailed above, but
                  generally work best if the trader has a selection of items common to
                  one region of the game, which are not common in the area that the
                  trader works. The player makes an offer of an exchange, the NPC checks
                  to see it's valid, and then swaps the items.
                  
                  Of course, this is sometimes (often?) going to produce a trade where
                  the player character is left somewhat surprised at how good a trade
                  they got. ("Wow... The Goblin Reaver +9 for my cloak of
                  hail-protection!") But, that's ok. Maybe the NPC trader would be
                  thinking the same thing ;) But occasionally, a trade is so good that,
                  if repeated, it could break the game. Therefore, I don't allow it to
                  be repeated. My traders don't hold lots of stock. Instead, they have
                  an inventory of essentially unique items, and when an item is gone,
                  it's gone. It can be replenished by picking random items the same way
                  that the original inventory was picked. You might want to bias the
                  choice so that items that get traded quickly are less likely to
                  reappear (to prevent abuse). Of course, it might make sense to bias it
                  the other way (items that get traded quickly have more chance of
                  coming back, to make the traders more useful) but it's up to you.
                  
                  It also helps if you don't make equipment the be-all and end-all of
                  your game. That way, an imbalanced trade doesn't catapult a newbie to
                  dragon-slaying status or whatever. Upkeep costs and the like help
                  here, too.
