IMO it's a much better idea of a 'magic shop' than what I usually see. It kind of irritates me when even the smallest villages seems to have some gnome selling high-powered whatsits... whereas it's easier to swallow that they have herbs and whatnots for spell components (or whatever other reason a person might want a jar of spiders for).2) A bag of magical components of X value with each spell with material components having Y cost that has to be expended out of that bag. It easy to track and gives magic shops a purpose beyond just selling magic items.
I might be a jerk, in our regular local game, for insisting on using components for my sorcerer... telling the group I can't X unless I find the bits needed. The GM has pointed out gewgaws I could get to alleviate the need, but I just prefer the flavor of having to have an odd collection of consumables, and always be looking for more.
