In Fire Emblem 7 and 8 you would buy and sell items in shops within the battle stages itself (although you could sell and do inventory in between most battles), while in FE9 and 10 the caravan that travels with you (usually) would take care of both sales and purchasing of most of your needs (a few exceptions, like when your group is in a friendly town).
I'd play Path of Radiance before Radiant Dawn, since RD is a direct sequel, it makes it more enjoyable. :)
And I rate Radiant Dawn my 2nd favorite SRPG, only behind Final Fantasy Tactics. :)
Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.
