[RPG] good way to determine the value of magic items in 5e

dnd-5emagic-itemspricing

In 5e, magic items aren't as common or as varied as in older editions, but that also means it is hard to place prices on them.

As DM, NPC's can't really sell a magic item because we don't know the prices for these items. While it is stated that they are rare and usually unpurchasable and unsellable, but I still have to have some basis on what to price them.

So is there a way to find buying and selling prices for magic items in 5e?

On page 133 of the Dungeon Master's Guide, there is a table labelled Magic Item Rarity which gives a rough guidelines on the value of magical items, from Common rarity (for 50gp upwards) through to Legendary rarity (for 50,000gp or more).
