I've noticed a lot of items with high level restrictions and values when similar items with better stats and lower values exist e.g. the turtle charm that gives 3 def with a level 8 restriction worth 300g when you can get a neckless with 3 def and spell resist with level 3 restriction worth 150g. There are also many swords with very similar stats that can be valued at 150g or 1150g. It seems a parse of all items is needed to bring them into line with each other.
