This question was started in another thread, its buried somewhere. I've been doing some investigating so will start it again here:

Without spending 5€ to refresh his stock, how often does his stock get refreshed?

I don't have the full definitive answer to this yet, but here are my findings so far:

It is like he has 4 shelves: Top, 2nd, 3rd, Bottom. And like my local bakery, no matter how old or stale the croisant or vanilla slice is, the stock tends not to be refreshed until it is sold and then after Leonid leaves and returns. If you buy the item listed 2nd (2nd shelf). Then 1hr to 2.5hrs later when he leaves and returns, there will be a new item on the 2nd shelf. However the Top, 3rd and Bottom shelves will not have changed. If you buy 2, 3, or 4 items, those 2, 3, or 4 shelves will be restocked with new items, but the unbought items will not change.

In my testing so far, noting every item and every purchase and every return, it seems that if you buy any item that cycle (if I buy 1, 2, or 3 items), then always those 1, 2, or 3 shelves will have a new random item when he returns, and the other 3, 2 or 1 shelves will always remain unchanged.

So, how to force stock to change without spending € and without actually buying every single scroll or blueprint? I have done a few times so far: But 0 items. Let Leonid go hunting, let him return, and it seems that 1 (and only 1) shelf will have restocked with a new random item. I have not done this enough times to be definitive yet, but so far it looks like if you buy nothing, it will change an item on the 1st shelf, and then next time you buy nothing it will replace the 2nd shelf, then the 3rd, 4th, then 1st again. Whether you buy anything in between or not. eg: Buy nothing. He leaves, returns, the 1st shelf is changed. This time you buy something, next time you buy something. Each time he returns he replaces those shelves. No matter what shelf you buy stuff from, if you buy nothing the next time, when he returns the 2nd shelf will have changed.

I think you have to actually visit his store and see the stock for it to count. ie. You can't just quit the game for the night, wait 2.5 x 4 = 10 hours, come back 10 hours later and expect all 4 shelves to have changed. Coming back whenever will just have refreshed the one item. But I've not properly checked this, especially with v1.2.1 with the clock countdown start.change.
