If you're running a game like Dolmenwood, a fun, realistic detail is that shops have variable stocks based on the rarity of the trade good. For example, if you go to Wyrmspittle the Alchemist's shop in Prigwort, he always carries garlic, but he only has a 2-in-6 chance of having a rare potion like "Alchemical Tonic" in the store that day.
This rarity roll can double to represent how much of that trade good the merchant has in stock. On a roll of 2-in-6, a roll of 1 means Wyrmspittle has only one in stock, and a roll of two means he has two in stock, but a roll of 3+ means he has none in stock.
Another way to represent this "scarcity die" is by saying ≤ 2-in-6.
You could render this for different sizes and dice. ≤ 4-in-12 or ≤5-in-20.
