A note about my rating system...

I want to help my readers determine which stores and which merchandise is worth taking time to investigate. I try to give readers an idea of the prim count and the pricing typical of products offered in a store, in addition to commentary on styles and quality.

Prim Count
Very Low Prim...most pieces are 5 prims and less. Dressers will likely be about 1-2 prims, tables 2 to 5 prims, sofas and beds in the 5 prim range. Shadows may be optional or not included.
Low Prim...larger/more complex pieces are mostly 10 prims and less. Less complicated pieces are mostly 5 prims or less.
Moderate Prim...larger/more complex pieces are mostly 15 prims and less. Less complicated pieces are mostly 8 prims or less.
High Prim...want a sofa that will take up 20% or more of your alloted prim count? Want to max out your alloted prims with just a living room set? These places tend to go for detail, not for cutting prims.

Pricing
Very Low Price...I'll let you know specifics about unusual cases, like Pop Art with all their items being $1L. Otherwise, very low price will indicate that all items in the store are less than $50L.
Low Price...Most items in the store are less than $100L; some significantly lower.
Low to Moderate Price...Most items in the store are less than $150L; some significantly lower. More complex pieces and groups may be higher than $150L
Moderate Price...Most items in the store are less than $200L; some significantly lower. More complex pieces and groups may be higher than $200L.
Moderate to High price...Most items in the store are less than $250L; some significantly lower. More complex pieces and groups may be higher than $250L.
High price...Pricing tends to be in the $300L range and higher, except for a few accessory/occasional pieces.
