IMHO You can't compare the value of sets with bricks. Is a shop that has 10K
of bricks better than a shop that has one Metroliner and a Guarded Inn for
sale? Is the shop with one 4558 better than a shop that sells 10 small sets? I
would like to buy a 4558 cheap - I'm a trainfan - for a castlefan this set
might not have that much value so with sets it's based on what theme people
like.
The value of bricks is not linked to a theme so those are better comparable.
A ranking based on amount of parts available would be okay, however I would
think that a ranking based on unique lots could be better. When I'm shopping I
see many shops that have a few types of bricks of my interest, I'll end up
shopping at the shop that has the largest selection of those parts that I like.
So I figured that a ranking based on unique lots would be better.
Keep in mind that when introducing a list based on ranks, shops on top of the
list will probably get more customers - a high rank tends to create a 'higher
= better' mindsetting. So in the end an alphabetical list is the most fair...
(BTW. I agree on using only alpha characters)
I'd like to add a 'personal preference' - allow the user to select 2 or 3
themes and give shops with those items a higher ranking on the list, or if the
ranking of shops isn't used: a shop that sells sets in the preferred theme a
little icon might appear behind the shop name.
I also like the 'ships international' icon, I would also like to see the
country in the list - it's cheaper for me to buy sets in European countries :-)

Good idea :-)
