- I do not know whether shops were common in olden time or not. Money was not always given for goods. People used to do work in exchange for goods. The most common word used in buying and selling is tick. I do know if it was unlucky to transact business on certain days. Markets were held here. They are still held here on Tuesdays. A man goes and he give delph in exchange for rags and bottle. A shilling is called a bob. One shilling and six pence is called one and a tanner.
