Line 91:
** Also, Chet Rippo, who appears in the first and second. For 39 coins, he will upgrade one of Mario or his partners' stats by two levels, but downgrade all the others one level. In the second game, he's [[Loveable Rogue| more honest about the side effect]]; in fact, it's possible that it's two different people, as they look different in each game.
** Charlieton in the second game, but only when you meet him in Rogueport; when you meet him in the Pit of 100 Trials, he's an [[Intrepid Merchant]] who probably [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts| took lessons from Adam Smith.]] But in both cases, he's a sleazy merchant. ''However'', if you're ''very'' lucky when you talk to him in Rogueport, he might be selling Jammin' Jellies or Ultra Shrooms, very useful items, for only 120 coins, which is the cheapest they sell for in the game.
** An early task in ''Origami King'' revolves around collecting five ancient stones to unlock a shrine for a nature spirt. An entrepreneurial Monty Mole finds one of these and tries to auction it off for''Italic ''Italic text''
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' examples:
** The Magikarp Salesman first appears in the original [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]'' and Blue (and [[Pokémon Fire Red|Pokémon Fire Red and LeafGreen]]''). First seen in the Pokémon Center on Route 4, he offers you a Magikarp for 500 PokeDollars. This is, of course, a ripoff, because you can get a Magikarp anywhere. While he doesn't actually appear in the sequel a boy in Pewter City (which is adjacent to Route 4) will show his Gyrados to anyone who asks, and a girl in the same city claims he bought a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it.
