The merchant: Accounting for the 4 ways to shop

Ways to ensure that buyers always know what they are looking at:
1) Getting around DBL clicking vendor
Put a purple book from the provisioner in the CENTER of each vendor pack, that concisely explains the layout of your store (i.e. CHECK EACH VENDOR NAME FOR ITEMS SOLD) AND provides the Name of the vendor.
If you have bags inside the vendor, Name the contents of the bag, AND put a book underneath that says the same thing.

2) Getting around Vendor browse (the bane of merchants)

Same as #1.

3) Shopping from house sign
In vendor menu, change the SHOP name to reflect what you are selling on each vendor. Name a vendor for each general class ( BOWS, SWORDS, FENCING, MED ARMOR, FURNITURE, SLAYER WEPS, BRACELETS, RINGS, LUCK ITEMS, 120+LUCK Items, LRC SUITS, ETC). Clear and visible marking of vendors draws them in like flies, especially if they are marked in ways that they can relate to. STUFF would be a bad name for a vendor, as would MORE STUFFS (I have SEEN this, REALLY!)



4) Menu click

Same as #1

5) All names, CTRL+Shift, show names of approaching players
In vendor menu, change the VENDOR name to the SAME as the shop name.
