Know Who To Sell To

Know Who To Sell To. Bandits are used to getting rid of stolen goods, and have built up contacts for doing so. When a Bandit warband sells equipment, they get half of any random element of the equipment cost, in addition to the normal half of the item's basic cost. When a Bandit warband sells equipment.

Does that mean that mean gain from example from a Tome of Magic (200+D6x25 gc) 100 as half and a random amount of the another half 100 gc or 100 gc and  half of d6*25gc.
Also for a sword they get 5 gc or 5+1-5 gc ?

100gc and half of d6*25gc (d6*25gc is the random element of which they get half). Other warbands would only get 100. Also 5gc for a sword as there is no random element (the skill is of no use here).
That reads pretty straightforward to me.

Thanks, I thought so. As English is not my primary language , I ask can it be reasonably interpreted the way I described it?

+1 to Grimscull's answer.

I think it can be misunderstood in any language, that seems to be the fate of rules.
