Chest shop

Players can trade with each other even if they are not online by using Chest Shops.

Player shops are very common, if you want to sell/buy just a few items you can use the marketplace near spawn, it is a public shop where users can set up a few chests for themselves and have the advantage of being right next to spawn, lot's of visitors.

If you want to trade more items, you'll need to build a real shop building, it could be in a claim or in a city plot, pick the best option for you.

How to buy/sell from a chest shop

Find a chest shop that has on the second line of the shop sign "Selling", this means that the chest shop is "selling" you the item, and you are buying from it.

Right click on the sign and type in chat the amount you want to buy

Selling

Find a chest shop that has on the second line of the shop sign "Buying", this means that the chest shop is "buying" from you the item, and you are selling to it.

Right click on the sign and type in chat the amount you want to sell

Finding a chest shop

If you are in a big shop, and you can't find what you want, or you simply have no time to run around and check hundreds of chests, you can use the "find" command:

/shop find <item>

It will show you the distance to the shop you are searching and it will face you in the right direction

Setting up a Chest Shop

Creating a shop costs $50, while changing the price $25, Keep this in mind before making 100 empty shops.

Hold the item/s you want to sell/buy and Shift+LeftClick on a chest.

You'll be asked to enter in chat the price for each item.

Once you press enter a sign will appear on the chest with your name, how many items you are selling are in the chest, the ID of the item and the price per item. You can see which item is sold/bought by a shop simply by looking at the floating item that appears on top of the chest (it is a virtual drop, you can't pick it up)

By rightclicking on the sign a message will appear in chat, you can click the pink "buttons" to edit the sign.

You can change the owner of the shop. By clicking "Shop Mode" you can decide to sell items with your shop or buy items from other players. You can edit the price of the shop and even add or remove items from the chest without the need to open it and manually adding the items in the chest or in your inventory

This is a shop made by the player "Ubya", he has 64 cooked porkchops in the chest, and he is selling them at $5 each

Adding Staff to your shops

You can let a player (or more than one) access your shops, refilling it and such, great for teams or guilds.

Aim at your chest shop and type in chat /shop staff list

This will let you know who is staff for that shop. To add someone as staff use the command /shop staff add <player>, to remove someone from the staff list use /shop staff del <player>. /shop staff clear>/code> removes all staff from a shop. Pretty self explanatory.

(Be careful to who you pick for staff of your shops)
