I saw a retainer who's name was a long string of A's followed by a few other characters. And no I won't be buying anything from them, I'd pay more for something from a retainer without a 100% alphabet exploiting name or not buy it at all. An alt of mine has a retainer called Abbythemarketcrasher, I don't use that one as much yet as a newer character. But the name is just to let other sellers know what I'm willing to do in certain circumstances.
I try to keep prices at a sustainable level based on market history and current supply. If someone has a bunch of an item for sale and I put one out I'll match the price that very first time. If they then move a wall of items priced just below mine where I will then be selling 0 while my retainer's for sale list fills up... then it's Hammertime.
I'll post the item with descending prices so that I don't have to take a deep cut on every item, but the other person would have to beat the price lower on my 1 lowest priced item at any time to sell anything. They want to move their wall of items well below that and keep them there? That's their right to do so, there's plenty of other things I can sell until prices come back up.

I summon amberlamps, amberlamps arrives.
Polite male midlander named Boq (character from Wicked) and a vulgar female roe named Idina. After Idina Menzel... (aka Adele Dezzim if you know why *wink*)![]()

Happy; a male miqo'te miner with a silver tongue: "Ah, just the fair maiden I wished to see. Tell me your heart's desire." He was my original character from beta phase 3. The name comes from Haprimac's Hapri part which pretty much sounds the same as well as being what my ingame friends call me.
Drunky; a male lalafell lancer with red puffy cheeks and bushy moustache. He looks like a (tiny) stereotypical Russian man, just missing the furry hat. He's usually the one bringing me weird crap like rooftops and Ultima necklaces. And he has awesome timing of bringing me stuff related to latest RP sessions to make me and my RP buddy laugh our faces off. ^^ Cheeky bugger.

...yes they are cat puns of Linux distros. I even color coded them to have the look/feel of the OS's logo and what the OS's stigmas are.
Got a little story about my wife's retainer, you see I thought we could change the name of the Retainers you see and each name we did think up it was taken so getting impenitent I just said oh call ABCDEF and get on with the game. Much to our surprise we couldn't but now it's grown on us and now we find it quite comical.
Concieving my character as a Summoner, I tried naming my retainers after Classical elementals. When I first got them, I named the two I had after Salamander and Undine, planning on naming my Chocobo Gnome, Sylph unfortunately being left in the wind. Apparently Someone or someones else had similar ideas and I had to edit it. Changed Salamander to Mander and added my characters surname to Undine.
Eventually I picked up the extra retainers and named thm after the extra pair, with 'thume added after again, getting Sylph'thume and Gnome'thume.
