So i was out yesterday for around 2 Hours to buy me some AOE Tools.
95% of the Shops, big ones or small ones, where either empty or not restocked for months.
What i would like to see is a list of actual open and active Shops.
One can Dream i guess

Yep, this! 
Aenea is my favorite for tools.
Also, Legendville and Quebec Malls have some great and active stores.

I’d throw my suggestion in for The Golden Fist too! We work our best to make sure it’s always stocked.

Try The Witches Brew and Forging Matters.
I carry 3x3 hammers, chisels, loot sticks, sometimes bombs…
Tharkuns shop in the gyosha mall almost always has aoe tools of all sorts as well as there is a daily special. Sometimes low tier sometimes high tier. I always run by that shop though just to see what his discounted item is.
(There are a ton of aoe tool shops! And they regularly stock, maybe try going through some new portals if you haven’t in a while. I find the best deals when I do that. Came across a forge mat being sold in the thousands for 1/4 the price everyone else sold it for)

My shop Reapers is typically full of good stuff. You can find it in DK’s legendville mall. Or the Corrupt Forge in Quebec Mall. The only time it ever becomes bare is when an Exo planet comes out. A lot of time if anything’s empty I have a few more that are personal but I’ll sell them too if you come through the portal there to my base.
Yes, The Golden Fist too! And great info to be had there as well.

Shameless is all current and stocked. Check my post history for directions or look us up on boundless trade.
Original Forgeries as mentioned earlier at Nova Golda Market!
Now also selling the new forging items:

You may have more luck with portal-based shopping centers, as inactive shop portals close by themselves. It’s not perfect but it should be more active than malls.

I put a last restocked date in my shop i think everyone should do that so you know its still actively updated

Simple: Duskmoor city center and Duskmoor mall. We have portals to get you to every place mentioned above, plus one of the most active, if not the most active communities in game.
Even my young son keeps his shop stocked under the giant hockey stick and puck in town! Hahaha.
Slingbow depot stocks regularly. Unfortunately stock is cleared within mins to hours. I am only 1 forger!! I will start posting when shelves are stocked.
I normally stock 24 bows at once. 12+ hammers. 6 each of axes and shovels. Grapples bombs ect are if I have time.
But since it is my old friend Faya come talk to me and I can make you an order.

I always keep a few good hammers stocked in my mine on mcrib, but I use a lot of them myself due to all the underground construction I like to do. I have mailboxes out for requests and such though, so you can hit me up there.

Yes, I don’t go shopping very much at all because the evolving market bugs me to death, even though I know it’s a byproduct of the nature of this game. That being said, I chose to get out this weekend to shop. I wasted my entire Saturday looking for certain items. By the end of the day I was in a foul mood about it. I learned my lesson; for me, self sufficiency must continue to be the rule. My time is too precious to waste a day like that.
I tried the online shop location tools. There is just so much cross referencing that it was a hassle. I posted in trade channels. The root of the problem that I perceive is that when a majority player base is focused on the grind-to-wealth (due to being conditioned by the industry,) there will always be popup superstores that dissapear after the owner(s) have decided that they reached their target status/wealth. Oh well, that’s capitalism. But it’s not sustainable leisurely play. It’s backwards from how I play, so for the most part, I hate to shop or run a store. I dont disparage anyone who does but this thread caught my attention. I fear that I simply cannot place my trust in an evolving market that is largely a tribute to a flimsy ideal.

In EA, there were a few places you could pretty much always go to buy/sell whatever and not worry about them closing down. Maybe because there weren’t so many people?
