Shopping
Purchase haggling: roll d20 WIS and d20 CHA checks: if you succeed at both; pay 75% of list; if you fail both; pay double, if you succeed at only 1, pay list.
Day-trip list purchases: for buying a list of low-cost items, a character can buy all of them in a single day's shopping (subject to a max. price depending on where the shopping takes place –e.g. 75gp in the Bazaar, 35gp in Portburg). Note, if you are buying in bulk, the price maximum is for all items of the same kind, e.g., YOu could buy a maximum of 3 Two-handed swords in the Bazaar in one day (20gpx3=60gp, less than 75). If you want to buy in bulk, you have to find a source/manufacturer.

Shopping in the Towns
FARMINGTON: Only goods worth 20gp or less are available in Farmington for a day-trip list of purchases. Bulk purchases of provisions, horses and other livestock are actually easy to achieve and come with a 5% discount.
PORTBURG: Only goods worth 35gp or less are available in Portburg for a day-trip list of purchases. Ships can be bought here.
GORMLING: Gormling is so hostile and crabby place that visitors must make a list of items they want and give it to the “Town Agents” to fill. A day-trip list of purchases of up to 50gp each can be made, but the town agents charge a 50% commission.
