Indeed. How am I to know it's you I am dealing with if I don't recognise your
shop name. I have no intention of ever changing mine. I'm working hard
to "build up the brand" of Milton Train Works so I am not going to change my
shop name to "A Awesome Larry's Shop" in order to move up to the head of the
list (even if I *am* awesome...) because that kind of thing is cheesy and
reputable sellers are above such folderol. Anyone who jockeys for the first
position on an alpha list has a whiff of non reputability, in my "first
impression" book. (that's not to say that trying to get first position on a
list of lowest price per piece or highest feedback isn't a great thing to try
for, mind you... if that's the business model you're after)
I am sure Dan is mulling over the suggestions we've given about additional
ways to view shops and I suspect the best thing to do at this point is let
them percolate for a while. After all, he just added the little bricks for
feedback levels and the discussion forum. and stuff I no doubt missed. He
codes faster than just about anybody I know.
