Buying a shopkeeper's entire inventory: any bonus?

[Goblin King]

When I buy a shopkeeper's entire inventory, the shopkeeper says something like "Big spender. I'll remember this".

Does the shopkeeper give any bonus when buying their entire inventory? Or is it just Tell Tales styles "remembering this" which ultimately doesn't matter at all?

You get a 5% discount when buying from shopkeepers for the rest of that run.

That’s a good catch.

Buying out a really cheap shop in the Dwelling (nothing but ropes, a parachute, pack of 3 bombs) is helpful for a Black Market run where expensive stuff like the Hedjet or the Jetpack will be cheaper.

I never realized the discount, but I've noticed some items having weird uneven prices, so that's probably why. Good to know :)

Nice I didn't know this maybe it should be 10% ?

I'd be down for an incrementally increasing discount each time you buy out a new shop

Hell ye

I dislike killing shopkeepers, to me there is more challenge and fun in finding the gold and making the purchases. Unless you care about mass score, there is no reason to bother with treasure and every level becomes a speedrun

Shop prices also depend on what level you're in, with later worlds charging higher prices for the same items.

5%? so its like nothing

Does this affect shop frequency at all? I feel like a get more shops after buying out a shop but it could be my imagination.

I do think something's up with shop generation in general. I have this vague suspicion that if you buy one item from 1-2 there will be no shop in 1-3, but if you buy nothing there will always be a shop in 1-3. Haven't tested enough to say for sure though. Also not sure if this applies if you buy everything in 1-2; that might also spawn the shop in 1-3.

EDIT: Nope, that's not it. I've had shops appear in 1-3 after buying only a single item in 1-2. It's probably entirely random.
