Being the first in the shop of a Buyable Unbuyable
I made the background a light blue, so the pictures are easier to see. Ok, say you see something like the following. A buyable, unbuyable in their shop. You might want to buy it, you might not want to buy it, but you want to see what it is before everyone else.
If the message is down kind of far, don't even bother. If the item was that good, someone would have bought it. If the item was crap, you don't want it. However, if it's right at the top when you refresh, go for it.
Rather than click on the link, then click on the username to go to their userlookup, then click on "shop" in their userlookup, you do something else. Yes, there is a better way.
Point your mouse to the name, and double click on the username to highlight it. Then hit ctrl-C to copy the username. This only works if the username is one long word. If there any underscores, like the name my_username, double clicking would only highlight the "username" part. The underscore would block you from highlighting the whole thing, so you might have to either highlight the full name manually then ctrl C, or copy the second part, and type in the first part of the username. You'll see what I mean.
Then have a blank shop name bookmarked. The link is shown below. Have it bookmarked to where you can hit alt - a - ___ . For more on bookmarks, go to the Computer Tips page. This is what a blank shop is, with no username.

Hit F6 to get to the address bar.
Then hit the "end" button on your computer. This takes you to the end of the address bar.
Then hit ctrl - V to paste in the username you copied a little while ago, in
this case, likwidlakes. If you paste the name in, there should be a space
after their name, but it won't matter. It'll still take you to the shop.
If the name has an underscore, like my_username, you
might want to have copied "username" and manually type in my_ then
ctrl V to paste in "username". That way you get my_username all
in one line, and you can get in the shop.
If it's a short name, you might just want to go to the blank shop page and type in the username yourself. Whatever works. It's all about speed when you are being the first in a shop.
Then hit enter, and it takes you straight to their shop, without wasting time clicking on their user lookup. Then it's up to you to figure out what they are selling.
If they have a lot of stuff, you might want to hit ctrl - F to do a search in their shop. Generally, buyable unbuyables are 99,999, so you can search for that. Or just scroll and look, it's up to you.
