But for some reason, when running a game, I prefer the simpler method, unless players seem really motivated to do the book-keeping - I do realize that it is a venerable D&D tradition :) When I DM I’ve actually taken to the habit of charging player-characters about 100gp or so to just say that they’re carrying around whatever reasonable items they might have from the Player’s Guide “shopping list”.
