Mars_Bryant

What about mix of the two approaches--create a listing of everything in the physical shops?

For example "64 Stone - 1 diamond - Mars_Bryant" You could then search the list to find what you want and the best deal, and then go to that physical shop. 

It seems like there's already some tracking going on with the shop system as is, so it might be easier to implement one master list that's made available online.

I really enjoy wandering the shop area, so I'm hesitant to want to switch fully over to a market, but it is getting to be too much. When I search for something there's sometimes 20+ results, and no way to know what the prices are or if it's in stock. 

I agree, some sort of toggle option would make it better. I didn't even realize it was one use only, that makes it a fairly useless item.

To be honest I'm not sure it should be a crate item, maybe a vote reward. I got it from the crate (along with baby animal feed) and feel incredibly disappointed to have paid $15 for items that I won't use and nobody else is interested in.
