      I like this idea.  In fact, I made a "basic spells shop" in scorn, which

      Put in your "good" but "non-artifact" items at a premium price so people

I also like the idea for more different shops.
But it should be not accessible from start on.

I really like to be "a snob" in game, like we all :) . So, we should add
much more
things like the noble quests, room and quest who can you only enter when you
have done
something before.

Why not make shops only to enter when you have a special noble rank? Which
this, you
can make game play (you now have a reason to become noble) also you can
group the items, because
you can imagine a minumum level/hours in play a char have when he have noble
rank x.

Special in medium ranks about 8-15 you start to have some money and lake
some items.
For spellbooks for example, we have the book shop in detab.

Makeing some shops with a good item level can be very useful for game play,
because you
can fit you for the harder quests.

I personal played some times which character, who has the level but lake one
or two items
he needs for survive the next quest stages.
