Why not set it up with two potential effects for every item, one negative
and one positive? When you pick up the item, a roll of 1-2 on 1d6 means the
item is the bad version, otherwise it's the good one. That means no one
will have an advantage when going after the items they designed themselves,
and the odds are favorable enough to offset the potential danger.
I'd also suggest that you try and make any magical items fancy-looking
enough that you don't have to worry about duplicates. Gray swords just
don't say 'magic' to me, unless we're talking about The Legendary Gray Sword
