History Fridge / RecettearAnItemShopsTale

* Why does the Guildmaster, your ''supplier'', keep coming to you for various orders and goods that he could very well easily get for himself? When it comes right down to it, Recette is still a little girl trying not to starve, and the Guildmaster knows it. He's subtly trying to help you out of the gutter by buying from you.
** He's probably the Guildmaster because he likes trading; he's probably coming to your store for the thrill of haggling. This would also explain his rather dour expression when Recette gives him a price that he accepts without haggling - he didn't really have fun with it.

* Alouette is the daughter of a major chain store and could probably acquire any item that she wants through that. So why does she frequent Recette's store ''and'' buy expensive items at ridiculous mark-ups? [[spoiler:Because she secretly wants to befriend Recette, and the best way to give her money is to buy the most profitable items in the store]].

** Griff (a demon) will only show up if you have a "Dark" setting.

* Why will only select individuals purchase treasure-type items despite so many people selling them? Well duh, you run a shop in an RPG. You're the endpoint for useless knickknacks that exist only to generate gold for the adventurers that find them, be grateful anyone buys them.

* Recettear shares a world with {{Chantelise}}, and there, a single power crystal can be used to cast a fairly potent spell. Tear confirms the experience gems in this game are the same objects. The amount each adventurer absorbs for a single level, they would be an unstoppable Juggernaut by Chante's standards.

* There's a bit of stealth roleplay involved in the game: Tear actively encourages you in tutorials to gouge prices and haggle hard, but keep in mind that she's a fairy accountant who has her mind on the bottom line and a (barely-concealed) sense of greed. The game rewards you more for roleplaying like ''Recette'': treating the customer right, giving them fair deals and building friendly relations with them.
