Money is so hard to manage for a DM though, my players have like 10000 gp, and they are now able to buy magic items, unbalancing the game.
Make magic items become suddenly unavailable. I don’t allow magic items for sale except under very special circumstances no matter what the DMG says. They are basically one of a kind luxury items.

Maybe have a sudden increase in theft, causing the places where they are sold to close? Yes, it's a plot device, but it also easily be used to improvise in something. Sorry if this is bad, I don't normally come up with good ideas.

This isn't actually a signature, just something I copy and paste onto the bottom of all my posts. Or is it? Yep, it is. Or is it..? I’m a hobbit, and the master cranial imploder of the "Oops, I Accidently Destroyed Someone's Brain" cult. Extended sig. I'm actually in Limbo, it says I'm in Mechanus because that's where I get my WiFi from. Please don't tell the modrons, they're still angry from the 'Spawning Stone' fiasco. No connection to Dragonslayer8 other than knowing them in real life.
I love in the hobbit how many times they say how fat bombur is. It’s like “The group hurried, and bombur being fat, was in the back.” Or, “since bombur was fat, the tree sagged under his weight.”
Since the conversation is on dwarves (I was always fond of Gimli--I think his in Legolas' transition from being antagonistic toward one another to having a strong friendship born of battle was rather well-written), here are some fun Tolkien facts on dwarves!
As most fans probably know, Tolkien was a big fan of language--being fluent in twenty-some-odd real-world languages and having invented a number of other languages for his works. Tolkien was never fond of the English word "dwarfs"--the pluralization of "dwarf" with an "s" did not fit with the etymological roots of the word, and he felt that "dwarfs" had been co-opted by Disney. When it came time to write his book, he decided he wanted to use a different translation. After researching the etymology of dwarf, he decided the proper plural would probably be something like "dwarrow". However, to more closely match the plural "elves" Tolkien invented the plural "dwarves", happily admitting it was his own personal use of bad grammar. Dwarrow still appears once in his books--Dwarrowdelf is a moniker for Khazad-dûm.
In the first paperback edition of the Hobbit, the editors decided to replace every instance of "dwarves" with "dwarfs" (as well as every instance of "elvish" with "elfish"). Tolkien was quiet upset over these changes, considering how much effort he put into the etymology of his world and prose.
