Magic Item Shops

I make such things by just taking one of the treasure generators and putting in the parameters I want.
Bear in mind that the "item shop" is more likely to be a broker who knows where various items can be found or made than a commercial establishment in the modern sense. The only "in stock" things in most places are likely to be potions, low-level scrolls, and the odd minor weapon or piece of armour; the rest will have to be made or located. You can still find almost anything you can afford in a big city, but I feel that how you describe the process makes a big difference.

Eh, it depends. Usually for most of the basic stuff Like potions and scrolls I tend to let them be a little more general store off the shelf like. In my games there tend to be witches and the like who will cast lower level spells when needed, and have a few tinkets and odds and ends in the shop.
Often weaponsmiths will stock a couple magic weapons, same with armor smiths...
Hasn't caused a problem in the 12+ years my group and I have been together.
I just keep meaning to make a bunch of 3e random shops, but never seem to have the time.
