We should have somewhere to concentrate reviews for excessively-foreign goods and services.
I'll start:
Astra Nephthys arrived today & performed my requested spontaneous-ignition-removal. So far as I can tell, there have been no negative side-effects, and controlled tests show that I have indeed ceased spontaneously combusting in sunlight. I highly recommend her services: She was professional & courteous, despite clearly being in pain during the entire proceedings. When I inquired, Astra said that she is fundamentally harmed by existing in realspace, which manifests as a progressive, degenerative disease in her manifested bodies. Closer examination via Memnodyne showed that Astra's 'cells' do not regulate themselves properly, subdividing uncontrollably rather than attending to their natural places. Astra indicated that this disease is called 'Cancer' on some worlds and that she regularly 'dies' of it every year or so. Despite my best efforts, I was unfortunately unable to determine the underlying cause of her affliction, but she remained very cheerful and cooperative all throughout the various procedures I performed.
I rate Astra's service very highly, and recommend it to anyone with a stubborn metaphysical issue they need fixed. While it may not be wise to rely on her abilities, I don't believe the side-effects of personal use are very likely to significantly negatively impact anyone's universe.

Thank you, Hassadah. I showed the designs to a colleague of mine: while the superconductors aren't quite room temperature here, they are much better than what we had. The solar power designs look like they could also start pushing up consumer solar efficiency: most mass producible panels are ~25%, though ~50% has been seen in the lab. I'm glad I could help, even it is just a little. I am replying here because I wanted to make sure I gave proper appreciation to your gift of knowledge with the Gieger counter. Using it, we found all of the caches of weapons being stored on our world, and I was blessed enough to be able to apprehend the Pantheon-local ringleader and seize their portal device. We should be able to trace this method of interuniversal portals in real-time soon, which would be a boon for my office's seers, who are working overtime and need to be able to sleep more. I wouldn't be able to share the exact details of how it all worked, without permission, but I might be able to share some of the mechanics that we work out when we have some time with it. But I want to thank MagicPhD for providing the means for all of this to happen. It has really helped me and I appreciate it greatly. I wouldn't say that everyone should trust MagicPhD's word unquestioningly (I am too cynical for that), but I trust them to provide any such information like this in the future, and recommend their character and assistance without reservations.

Thank you for the kind words, Hassadah. I am always happy to help.
As she quoted, the technical designs she sent me on superconductors were very helpful, and I trust that any technical data she supplies will be accurate.

That went better than Leaf and I were expecting, in that not only did they give me the books (and the catalog) without charging more than I was expecting, it’s impossible for the spell they used to make a trade that one of the parties doesn’t agree to. Specifically, last night as I was going to bed, I got a magical mental notification that somebody from their company was trying to contact me, requesting 105 zorkmids and offering the three books I requested and the catalog. The mental notice made it clear that I had to accept or reject the trade within a few seconds, and that if I accepted both sides of the trade would happen as the spell indicated. They didn’t mention the weekly subscription, but I expect if it bothers me I can unsubscribe via PM (Mother Starlight told me that this forum uses planar message in their manifestation, which is why I asked about it). In any case, I have successfully cast light, which was different from, easier than, and more effective than doing anything remotely similar with parlor tricks.

My dealings with the OTC have been thoroughly satisfactory.

I am very pleased with the OTC products I've bought, the OTC's efficiency of service, and their currency models.
It's very refreshing to see such an elegant system in place. The loophole I exploited to acquire a particular large item was pointed out to me by the representative, because it was beneficial on all sides.

What was that loophole?
