MRC #9.1: SHOP TITLE: Entelechy: A Variety Shop CLOSEDOWNER: Orikami INDEX: Advice, Buying/Selling, Homework Help WHAT THE SHOP DOES: This is a variety shop. I tektek, translate, help with maths and language homework, price lock, give advice and recommendations. PRICES: Depends on the service. From 5g to much, much more. GOOD REPORTS = 21. Jusui Negai: Very speedy service, at least in the dream avatar department. The price is probably more than fair considering how much could be received over in the AT subforum for works of a lesser quality. On top of it all, the creator seems to be genuinely kind and more than willing to change the final product to suit the customer's needs. [ 74] 2. my charlotte: Choice of diction was intelligent, yet smooth. Easily navigated, and to the point. Colors flowed together, and were vibrant. Seemed very approachable. Very good prices for a variety of useful jobs. [ 75]

MRC #9.5: SHOP TITLE: In A Box ClosedOWNER: michie-in-a-box (( but the thread is run via a mule account, GelatinousCube )) INDEX: Dolls, Pets, Pixel Graphics WHAT THE SHOP DOES: In A Box specializes in pixelated graphics placed in boxes. With the except of dolls, tip items and a few freebies, everything is animated within a box or relating to boxes. The shop offers quick and reliable delivery, prizes and gifts, and events where everyone can get something. PRICES: 75 G - 1,5oo G GOOD REPORTS = 41. ElizaLena: In A Box is one of my favorite shops on Gaia. The items you can purchase there are of the highest quality. Not only is the shop organized and easy to navigate, but the customer service is great a well. Orders are filled as quickly as possible and if there are going to be any delays customers are informed about the status of their orders. The shop owner is also very personable and easy to work with. It is an excellent shop with excellent service. I definitely give it a 10/10 and am a repeat customer. [ 57] 2. Wyntre IceBlade: I absolutely love this shop. Michie does a great job with all the boxes and it has a buying program now which is really cute. Also it's a really nice place to just stay and chat. There's a small few that are always around, you can see them in the white list, and it's just awesome to see all the new things that come out since we do get to put input in what is made sometimes. [ 57] 3. Jr Banshi: I found this shop just after it was first opened. I decided I liked it a thought I'd stick around. Everyone was really kind and I soon became one of the regulars. The pixel art is of the best quality. And that's not just the boxes. The new addition of dolls are amazing. I'll definitely have to get quite a few of those. The custom boxes allow you to really put ALMOST anything in a box. The shop owner (Michie-in-a-box) is really friendly and nice. If you happen to lose something you've bought, if you ask her and she still has the file she'll send it out to you no problems. Michie tries to fill orders as soon as she finds out about them (if they have the correct code word). And, as Eliza said, if anything is going to be delayed she lets the customer know immediately. In a box also has a HUGE collection of freebies. And pretty much an event every month. Michie has done a lot of work on this shop, and it has all paid off. I think, in my personal opinion, that In a Box is the BEST minishop on Gaia. And I hope we continue to make new friends through it. And collect the amazing art. [ 57] 4. Abrianna Grenouille: The first time I stepped into this shop, the patrons there were welcoming and helpful. I have never received a negative comment from the owner or those who frequent the shop to chat. It is very comfortable, and the place makes you feel like you can stop to chat and come on back any time. It's a great place, and it has cute products! [ 57]

MRC #9.6: SHOP TITLE: Always Take Your Meds. ` Always Take Your Meds . MRC#-9.6: KUDOS=6OWNER: ATYM CHAN INDEX: Commissioned Art WHAT THE SHOP DOES: a mass joint art shop offering a wide variety of styles, personalities and artists, with prices that are different for each artist and style, always open! They've also consistantly placed in the top 100 since it opened! PRICES: Anywhere from 400g to the millions GOOD REPORTS = 61. Super Assassin G-chan: a wide variety of styles, personalities and artists [ 56] 2. Maltos VI: A regular at this shop, i can say; i am very, very pleased with the service they provide. Art has always been at a excellent standard and delivered quickly, in comparrisson to my experiences with other shops. The staff are friendly, and a great laugh to talk to; and with the fantastic range of art they offer, it makes for a top notch art shop! [ 57] 3. Deirdre Moon: I love this shop, I am friends with all of the artists. The art that you can get at ATYM is reasonably priced and of the best quality. Koji, Gabi, Blue, Clem, Ro, and Dan are all awesome and very talented. So make sure you Take Your Meds and go buy some art! [ 61] 4. Gabriella Ellenor: Always take Your Meds, or ATYM, is a great place to hang out. Its staffed with a great assortment of people that almost always make you smile when ever you stop in. The workers there always seem to want to help eachother and others. Whether it be with school work, quests, or even just the boringness of every day life. The art is wonderful for the prices they charge. As a customer, and one of the artiests, I have to say that there is no place that i would rather hang out in other that ATYM. [ 62] 5. azreal425: The art featured at Always Take Your Meds is amazing! Most of my favorite pieces in my random sig are from there. My particular favorite is the work done by Koji that is a white on a black background. I rarely see it used and it is just unique to me. Of course all of my pieces from there are spectacular. Also the art is super affordable. I love my avatar art, but sometimes artist charges are a little to pricey. Many of times I have paid upwards of 100k only to be disappointed in the results. At ATYM this is never a problem. I am always satisfied, and I don’t have to sell of some of my inventory just to buy a piece of art. Not that I have problems in doing so, it is just nice to get amazing art on the cheep. Next I would like to give a mention to the way things are run over there. They are very ordered and it makes doing business there a breeze. Another thing is that they are relatively fast. I have never had to wait months for a work, I realize people have a live so waiting does not bother me. But getting a quality art, fast, and inexpensive just plain makes me happy. Lastly I would like to talk about the staff. Everyone at ATYM is friendly and easy to talk to. It is a fun place to just hang out. As my school is getting more difficult and my hours are getting out of control at work, it is one of the places on Gaia I find myself thinking about. I have many of times commissioned artist who are brusque and while the art is good doing business with them is rather unpleasant. If you have good art for a great price I am a loyal repeat customer, but being short with me will put a kabosh on that quickly. That is not the case here. I am proud to consider myself a loyal repeat customer at Always Take Your Meds. [ 77] 6. Kaiisama: The people are always welcome to new comers, even though they seemed to have bonded very close. If someone else comes in, they never leave them out of the conversation. Not only this, but good art. I LOVE this shop, good hang out place, if nothing else. [ 82]

Virgin Margarita Bumpers #9.11: KUDOS = 7 * Mistaken Virginity: Virgin Margarita Bumpers #9.11OWNER: Mistaken Virginity INDEX: Services: Bumpers WHAT THE SHOP DOES: Virgin Margarita strives for the satisfaction of both customers and staff. We train all new staff to become proper, good bumpers. Staff work around their own schedule, not just ours. We are a small shop and strive to look after each individual customer's needs. We also strive to be different, rather than the common, mindless bumping; we add unique, interesting quotes to every bump. Customer trades are also not accepted until all bumps have been completed. PRICES: 2 per bump. GOOD REPORTS = 71. entertheraven: First off, the thread is very well done. It's short, sweet, and to the point. Also, the owner has been very kind, courteous and communicative. I've been using quite a few bumping services in the past weeks and Virgin Margarita is the only shop that has performed above and beyond the call of duty [62] 2. xXSeekXx: It is inexpensive and they get the job done. They also have very lovely quotes [75] 3. Miyuki_Yumi: For starters, the shop owner and the other staff members are really very nice, and kind. Whenever I had/have a question, it is always answered politely rather than with an annoyed/mean attitude. I also like how you can bump according to your schedule, and that the actual bump is not a boring picture, but a quote that is always interesting to read. [82] 4. black_myst: i must say, i love the post style. i makes the bumps much more interesting. very polite people, and fast bumpers [89] 5. RabbitOnFire: I just opened my art shop after 3 weeks of absence. However, it is very time consuming to sit on your thread all day, so i usually to hire bumpers to take my place. My usual bumping shop that i order from, was shut down. I had to find a quick replacement, and "virgin maragarita bumpers" was my first choice (due to an art shop guide that was considered as a perfect example). And it was, not only was it eye-catching but it was organized also. After I ordered, the next day, right away, there was constant bumping everytime i logged on. I constantly saw my Shop's name on the Forum Pulse! They are very reliable and i recommend anyone looking to hire bumpers for their own threads. [89] 6. kunaiknife001: [Virgin Margarita Bumpers is AMAZING! They bumped quickly and efficiently. I also enjoyed talking abit to them. They're kind and they will stop for a few minutes just to chat and not ignore people. [89] 7. Yternity: I love this shop because all of the bumpers who were in my thread were so delightful and the service was fast. They did about 100 pages in a month. Crazy! Everyone was so nice to me and made sure my thread got as much attention as another one. I love this service and I couldn't think of using another bumping service after using them. [108]
