I forgot to mention that stores restock at the same time pretty much. That
means, if a stores restocks at the top of the minute, it always will. If
another shop restocks at :10 to 15 sec after the minute, it always will.
That is what I have seen, anyway. There is a :30 random restock (where I
have gotten at least 3 unbuyables) and I am trying to figure if it is
random, or if there is a pattern to it.
