Purchase DC: To determine the purchase DC of a D&D magic item, multiply the market price of the item (given in gold pieces) by 20 and compare the result with Table 7-1: Purchase DCs in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game. Reduce the purchase DC by 2 for magic items that lose some of their power (or spell-like effects) when brought into the mundane world.

BRINGING THROUGH TREASURE
D&D is awash in gold pieces. Roughly a gold piece is about $20, thus, a pouch of 100 gold pieces is worth around $2,000.

Once you have a dollar value, you can use Table 7-1 of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game to find the equivalent purchase DC. As a rule of thumb, doubling the cost of an item raises its purchase DC by +3, while halving it reduces the purchase DC of an item by –3.
