// Heya there everypony! I'd just like to say I was inspired by the wonderful and talented Waxworks' efforts on Riddle's Bazaar that I asked her if it would be okay to build my own store using a similar format to hers, to which she agreed. This is Jitters' store which is a gadget, repair and request shop, so I'll frequently update this first post with any updates regarding the shop. Have fun, and please don't be afraid to PM me if needs be!
Note; if this pans well, I'll add an inventory list for products instead of having it in this main thread so it won't be so long.//

Situated comfortably near the front of the marketplace, there stood a stall with a rather curious design to it. Whilst it resembled most of the other stalls, the front of the stall was halved down the centre and opened up similar to a doll's house, expanding out significantly with shelves and displays lining the walls that would open up to the outer store, containing items of less value whilst quietly nestled on the inside of the shop there was a significant improvement in the design, with the interior having a lighting fixture held to the ceiling a little crudely, but holding significant stability. The "inside" part of the shop seemed to hold items of higher value, usually being much larger and on rather gallant and clever hand-crafted podiums to show their obvious importance as opposed to what was on the outside. Towards the back was a small door, hidden away and kept quite out of sight with the word "Repairs" generously scrawled on a plank of wood held on the wall above it.
Whilst the inside part of the shop had a rather luxurious carpet fitted on the flooring, the outer part of the shop had a few simple but clean rugs just placed randomly to stop patrons from walking on the dirt. It was clear that everything was ridiculously well-taken-care-of, having an order and way of doing things that could almost be considered as compulsive as opposed to simply being orderly. However, the entire stall itself was incredibly tidy, neat and very much clean, and several feet in front of the stall stood two large posts with a very clearly makeshift sign painted on a banner with "Jitters' Weird World of Gadgetry Goodness".
A small counter held position in the middle of the inside of the shop towards the front, clearly being a point that would stand as the centre when the "dollhouse walls" closed again, and holding a firm position behind it was a stallion in a formal waistcoat and tie with a tidy coat and gentle smile. Everything was clearly labelled and categorised in a seemingly strange way. There wasn't much here yet, since the store had only recently opened.
The counter itself had two notices on it;
"Warning; Most Products Contain Hexicore Crystals, Invented by Jitters Cogsby, if product fails to work, return to store for free repairs."
And a bigger, friendlier sign reading;
"Jitters' Weird World of Gadgetry Goodness fully supports and endorses Riddle's Bazaar and strongly recommends you go there!"
with a small, hoof-drawn map showing how to get there from here.

HOME CLEANLINESS: -
The wall on the left-hand side if you are facing the counter on the outermost part of the shop.
DUST DEPARTER (7 Bits)
- A small, seemingly hoof-held device that used simple pressurised air held in a canister with a small suction device held above it, released in small gusts that was used to push dust upwards towards the suction device that would pull in air when the gusts were released, keeping it stable.
WOODEN WASHER (10 Bits)
- A dinky little almost toy-like, windup clockwork device that had wash plates on the bottom that would zoom around wooden floors cleaning them.
-----
SELF CLEANLINESS: -
The wall on the right-hand side if you are facing the counter on the outermost part of the shop. Top Shelf.
HOOFICURE BUFF - Still in Beta (17 Bits)
- A little, clearly portable white wooden box with a windup lever on the side like a jack-in-the-box; a small series of pictures detail that you wind up the lever and then extend a hoof as three mechanical hands hold your hoof still and shine them up good and proper.

CANNED SHOWER (1 Bit)
- Looking like a can of aerosol, the "canned shower"'s lid has two caps on it; the instructions detail a one-time-use only, and consists of the first cap being used for the consumer to spray themselves all over with the perfectly clean water contained in the can, and then use the second cap to release the pressurised steam inside that can be used to dry the user off significantly.

CURIOUS APPAREL: -
The wall on the right-hand side if you are facing the counter on the outermost part of the shop. Middle Shelf.
WONDER ORBIT HATS (Premade Hats - 15 Bits, Custom Design Hats - 30 Bits)
- A few rather strange hats were seemingly floating of their own accord on this shelf, just a few centimeters above the shelf itself. They were rather simple and elegant designs, such as an extravagant purple hat with a dazzling peacock's feather on it, a very nice and sweet woman's bowler hat with a beige and red pattern to it, and a gentleman's black one, and other things of that nature. A sign above them claimed that if they wanted to know more or inquire about a custom hat, speak to the shop owner.

BETA PRODUCTS: -
The wall on the left-hand side if you are facing the counter on the innermost part of the shop. A few technical devices are placed there with a small sign reading "Consult Owner" on them.

To the very front of the shop, a small and clean stand-up sign faces out towards passerbys, reading;
