When I do my daily quests, sometimes I look at the user shop names and decide based on which I like best (I even have favorites, that I tend to purchase from automatically... sometimes without realizing their listing is more expensive haha).
I was just wondering if others do the same? Or do you just buy from whoever's on top at the time?
Any favorite shop names you've seen/sometimes see?
Also, sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in? I didn't know if it should go here, in Chit-Chat, or Commerce...? Hopefully this is fine!
I only buy the top/cheapest. I'm going to start reading the shop names now :)

I generally just pick the cheapest whole price (ie. I hate picking 1,999 so I'll skip over those and buy 2,000).
I do have one friend's shop who I've set to show up in red on the shop search and will buy from them if I spot it.
I pretty much ignore shop names while questing. I only notice the shop name if I'm buying something for millions off my wishlist and there are several choices at the cheapest level.

Yep with custom CSS
/making a specific shop stand out/
.row[data-shopid='INSERTSHOPID'] {color: red; font-weight: bold; }
.row[data-shopid='INSERTSHOPID'] {color: red; font-weight: bold; }
You can make the font color any color - just replace the red with whatever you want (you can use a common color name, the Hex code, rgb). LOL you can make a whole rainbow of different colored shops, but after a while, they won't stand out!
To get the shop ID, hover over a shop name (either in a person's profile, or from the shop search page), you'll get a link like: https://subeta.net/user_shops.php/shop/703 The shop ID is the last numbers in the address (could be 3, 4 or maybe up to 5 digit number).

When I quest, no, cause I always want to just be done with them ;) but I read them sometimes when I'm buying dozens of the same cheap item for fragging or recycling - cause I stay for longer while on the same page.
I like looking at shop names because some of them are really funny (I remember doing quests and finding out that my good friend had copypasted the beginning of the Bee Movie script and used it as their shop name lmao), but I'm still a total cheapskate and I always buy the lowest price, haha.

I never look at shop names. However, I'll occasionally glance at the quantity of an item a shop may have. If it's a hoarder with 20+ of the same item, I tend to skip them and get the next listed item.
Why yes I am the proud owner of According to all known laws of aviation,
Almost always I go pretty fast and don't pay attention to shop names. However, I came across "sexy knees emporium" today and I can't stop thinking about it

Occasionally I'll start reading the names, but I also tend to just zone out while questing. ^^;;; I usually go for the a combination of cheapest/least stock. xD <3
Nope, I only look at prices.

I like to read the names, but I generally go for the cheapest (or one of the cheapest in the case of multiples). Sometimes I'll pick the name I like best. Sometimes I'll skip over people with a ton of the same item. There have been shops in the past I've tried to avoid if I was paying attention, but I can't always remember the names.
I like to have fun shop names, but I haven't had the inspiration to change mine in a long time now lol. Sometimes when I drain my bank and start over rebuilding I'll also delete my shop to clear the lifetime earnings, but that's also a hassle and I'm lazy
I sometimes look a names for a good laugh, but then go buy the cheapest (unless somebody has like 400 of them, then I go for the second cheapest).
I think my favourite is along the lines of "The Dark Room at the Side that You're Not Sure is Part of the Shop" but I can quite remember it.
Sometimes I do. Usually I just buy the one at the top, but if I see a particularly clever/funny name or a name I can relate to, and their price isn't too far off the cheapest one, I'll buy from them.
I'll also look at amounts like and if someone has 200 of something and someone else only has 1 at the same price, I'll buy the single item. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES.
It looks like most of us avoid hoarders, lol! I agree with -- Support small businesses!
I also tend to avoid shops with "autopriced" in the title (maybe because I'm a little salty, as someone who doesn't have a gold account very often, and has to hand-price his wares haha).
Some of the shop names are seriously good for a laugh. "will wrestle your mom for sP" makes me chuckle every time.
I read them but i buy from the cheapest unless they're hoarders with a billion items in stock, in which case i don't want to support them. I also will buy more expensively from shops with rainbow emojis in the name if possible lmao
I do tend to look at the shop names but don't buy based on them. Recently I've seen a lot of 'fine dwarven crafts', so something along those lines...
I tend to just buy the cheapest, but I still have a look at the shop names while I'm buying! It's fun seeing what people come up with. I bought from a shop called "I put the eww in bewwbs" the other day.
- I've seen your Bee Movie shop name around before! :'D
I've seen "fine dwarven crafts" a lot lately, too! I tend to buy from it, since I'm a huge D&D nerd lol.
Another one of my favorites is something along the lines of "the sunset was the devil's warning" or something. So... mysterious, and kinda spooky, so I love it. Same with "the sun will set soon", or something of that ilk. Two shops I do try to buy from if they're among the cheapest options.
