Shop

The ability to create a shop is an Economist-only perk. Creating a shop is a great way to earn money even when you're not online, and to buy items from players to keep your own storehouses stocked. Please note that creating one chest shop will cost you 30 Marks.

Step 1
Place down a chest somewhere, then put a sign on the wall directly over the chest. This sign will sell/buy the item that is in that specific chest, so be sure to organize accordingly.

Step 2
Format your sign accordingly.
 * Blank Line
 * Your name will show up here if you have successfully created the shop. This is to let you know it worked and to let others know who is selling the goods.
 * Quantity
 * What amount of items you wish to buy/sell. For diamonds, you may only want to use 1, but for cobblestone, you may want to sell it in whole stacks. Remember, if you make the amount too high, some players may be unable to purchase the item and will go elsewhere. Convenience is key.
 * Price (B X:X S)
 * This part is rather tricky. For the right half of the colon, you are putting in the price that you the economist are willing to sell your items for. For the left half of the colon, you are putting in the price that you are willing to buy other's items for. This is formatted such that when an average player is looking at the sign, they will see that they can a) buy the item for X or b) sell the item for X. When setting up the shop, you need to think backwards.
 * Item Name
 * Sometimes the names of the items can be a bit tricky, so it's best to check to make sure your name pops up on the sign to confirm that the shop works. Just remember to keep spaces out of the name and you'll be good. For example, "iron block" should simply be "ironblock".

Step 3
Profit! You're good to go. Just remember to check back regularly to make sure your stock is up if you're selling, or to remove items if you're buying.
