To be fair, they probably inherited the place and got to be the lucky person it closed down under, which probably doesn't feel great.

At least, it'd raise some eyebrows if its had the same owner since 1883.

Too many raised eyebrows, they were forced to shutdown.

You’re saying theres not some 160-year-old running the place?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With a youngish look and pale skin?

That’s the guy! Be careful of his prices, they suck! Absolutely drain your bank accounts. But you can Count on his service.

I ran a DnD campaign where an important shop was under the same owner for over 1000 years, a friendly copper dragon shapeshifted into a halfling, who discovered trading with adventurers was the best way to amass a hoard, they would go all over the world finding interesting things that they have no idea of the true value of, could you believe they'd trade this neat spider statuette that may or may not be mildly cursed for a boring old ring of protection because it "has no practical use" and it "makes them dream of the whisperings of elder gods"?
