2:59 In most games I've played, when you sell to an NPC, you get significantly less money for it then what it would cost to buy that same item from them. So by that logic, the NPC should be very happy you are selling him all those expensive items, because he could sell them for much more ( so instead of it killing his children they would get to live in a mansion) Granted, in reality it wouldn't work that way because of supply and demand ( but then the shopkeeper also wouldn't be forced to buy from you )

I gotta be honest with you, I want to start a GoFundMe just to get The Garlic Farmer's wife and kid back to him. How much of a bribe you think it would take to get them to write that in a future episode? This story actually gets to me (as a husband and dad) on a personal level. It was horribly and beautifully written and the actor hit it out of the park in his portrayal. These guys do comedy well, but when they tip their hand at drama, they can rip your damn heart out. I'm starting a movement, "Give The Garlic Farmer his family back." LOL.
