I do when I'm in a hurry. Like having to go out and pushing out quests before I leave. When I have more time I tend to try other shops.

If the price is the same I tend to buy from the store that only has 1. I don't know why, but the higher the number of the item, the less I feel they need my sp, lol.

I always buy the lowest price which is usually the first shop, but it all depends if i have discount coupon thingie.

Usually, yes. If I notice that the first shop has a lot in stock, however, and another shop with the same price only has 1 in stock, I will buy from the latter shop. Or if I see my sister's shop name on the list, I'll buy from her :P (you're welcome )

I try to spread mine around, but I'll usually go with the first result unless I see a shop whose name I like that's the same price or I may just click at random

I used to always buy from the first one, but now I do this weird thing sometimes, where, if the price is the same, I will buy from the shop which has only 1 in stock...

I usually also like to spread the joy of sp around in different shops. I'm also more likely to buy from a shop that has 1-3 of the items versus 40. Seems more fair that way. Somehow.

If a shop has a cute name or emoticon in the title, I tend to buy from them first, instead of going for a well-known shop.

If there is 2-300 in one shop, I'll buy from the shop with just 1 or 2 even if I have to pay a little more. Buying all the lower ones up and setting a price for something (hoarding) just irritates me I guess :).
