Shopping stand

A shopping stand is a shop display pedestal that Sims can buy objects on community lots from, including being able to buy Plumbots.
==The Sims 2: Open for Business==
==The Sims 3: Into the Future==
The Sims 3: Into the Future added 8 display stands that Sims can buy futuristic objects from, at the same prices as in Buy Mode. With the exception of the Plumbot stand, they are typically associated with gallery shops but can be placed on any community lot, and Sims can click on the displayed objects and select "Request New Object" to change the display to another object.
The 4 standard stands can also be themed in Buy Mode by -clicking on them. 5 themes can be selected for a pedestal: "All", "Entertainment", "Homewares", "Travel" (as in transport), and "Plumbot Workshop". Despite the name of the default "All" theme, some objects seem far more likely to show up with (if not outright requiring) a specific theme.

===Plumbot stand===
Working noticeably different from the expansion pack's 7 other pedestals, the plumbot stand is instead associated with bot emporiums but can also be placed on any community lot.
Sims can choose to "Inspect Plumbot", which will show info about the Plumbot's trait chips and robot qualities.
While Sims cannot select to change the displayed Plumbot, the displayed Plumbots will change periodically nevertheless.
If a Sim brings a Plumbot from their household to such a stand, the Sim can choose to sell the Plumbot, after which point the Plumbot is gone forever. A Plumbot cannot attempt to sell themselves, nor can a Plumbot try to sell another Plumbot.

===Midnight Hollow===
Considered part of the "Savvy Seller's Collection" set, but the set was only ever made available through Midnight Hollow. Found in "Surfaces" → "End Tables" on both community and residential lots, objects placed on its slots can be placed, bought, and/or sold.
Regardless of whether or not the Sim actually owns the lot, they can use it to run a business where they buy objects in Buy Mode, place them on the pedestal, optionally change the base price rate (Markup) and whether or not there's a discount sale, and then sell/buy the object.
If the Sim has very high body temperature, somewhere above the treshold for the "Sweating Profusely" moodlet, the Sim will refuse to browse or buy a displayed object, claiming that "Your Sim is too warm to do that."
