yes lol. If a shop has 100 of something and is a major shop and the person below them is like, a normal person shop, with one item, I'll buy from them instead. I figure I'm a little fish so I'll try to support other little fishes. I know it's not the same as buying from a mom and pop shop vs walmart but it does feel that way haha.

I buy from the cheapest. If multiple shops have the items of the same price, it's usually the topmost one I buy from

I'm lazy and basically only buy for questing purposes, so it's almost always the first, cheapest one.

I've been picking my favorite shop name from among the cheapest prices. Good to know I'm not the only one. :p

I do the opposite to InSaNe, I try to buy from lower down shops, but I buy from the ones who only have 1 item, then 2 etc.

I like to spread my sP around and usually go for the most interesting shop name whenever there is one that I like. I also tend to go for the shops that only have one or two of that item stocked to avoid the hoarders. I'll even go for the more expensive shop (within about 100sP, although it depends on the price of the item) if the cheaper ones don't appeal to me for those reasons. XD

Usually I buy from the first Shop. Though there are some Shop names that just annoy me and I don't buy from them and then pick another one, most of the time the second. XD

If they're the same price and the top shop has like...31 of an item, I tend to skip them for some reason? XD

I almost never buy from the first shop, as they tend to be the ones that artificially inflate prices, or spend csc to autoprice multiple times/day. ^-^'' I just click a random one that seems like a reasonable price for the most part.

I do the exact same thing XD I always thought I was the only one who did that. It only seems fair to buy from everyone's shop so everyone gets a little bit of my SP XD

Most of the time I just buy from the first shop, yeah. If it's an item that's obviously being artificially inflated or hoarded, like the Luminaire ornaments, I'll try to buy from a different shop if I can. Nothing against those users, they're playing the game well. I just like to spread my sPs around to the little guys out there.

I also lean towards buying from the Main Shops if the price diff isn't too extreme. sP sinks = good

I've never really paid much attention to other peoples' shop names. XD

Not always. If there's one for cheaper in the main shops then I'll usually just buy it from the main shops. Likewise, sometimes I'll buy from another shop because I don't really care enough to save that small bit of sp it affords.

I buy from the cheapest shop, main shop or otherwise, unless the shop title irritates me for some reason-- then I'll hop to the next one. Usually though I just try to buy my things as quick as possible and don't think about it. :>

I do the same thing, I try to go by which shop name I enjoy the most. And if I see the same shop popping up a million times in my searches I'll pick a different shop to buy from.

I spread it around, and if it is within a certain price range I don't mind paying a little more. Sometimes I don't buy from Hoarders, and I hate buying from people who do severe undercutting of prices. Like if someone puts an item in the shop for 5000, and it was 84,000 in the shop. That drives me crazy!!

I try to spread my purchases around, but if I am buying a book (I read books to all my pets), I just buy from whoever is cheapest and I try to buy up the single listings over the ones with a bunch. When I am questing and trying to get stuff done quickly, I don't pay attention and buy from one of the first three people listed.

If I am buying a really expensive item and it's a difference of just a few thousand sps, I tend to buy from the person who was being undercut. It's annoying to be undercut by 1sp or something. In the case of pricey purchases, I look at the user profile and try to buy from the newer person, to help them with pocket change vs veteran users.

Though if it's an obvious price typo, like something is normally 150,000 and I see it for 15,000, I'll buy it then contact the shop owner to let them know and give them a chance to buy it back for that 15,000 so they can re-sell at the proper price.
