I recently made this trope and took it through YKTTW, but no one suggested any good images for the page. Hence, I'd like to go ahead and finish what I've started there, and have come to the hive mind to ask for suggestions.

The basic trope idea is that shopkeepers have powerful gear for sale, but you won't be able to afford it when you first arrive in the shop. Since it's a RPG trope primarily, I'd like the image to come from such a work. I'd think that the best image would be any shopkeeper that's selling something for an outrageous sum of money; preferably if you can also show the character's amount of money to be significantly less.

I suggest a screencap of the inventory of Medina Village from Chrono Trigger when the party first arrives.

Here's what I was able to get from that:

Don't worry Crono, you'll be able to get that someday.

Er, how does one make the caption work?

[up] Oh, so that's how you do captions. I'd been wondering.

A good way to find out might have been to look at the page source of Speech Bubble. That uses them a fair bit wink

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Does anyone have a particular objection to that image (be it a better example, better quality, or some such)?

Alright. I'll go ahead and put the picture up. If someone feels strongly about using a different image, feel free to make a new thread to discuss it.
