Chest Shops allow players to buy and sell items directly to one another in any location. Chest Shops have no pay limits or taxes. Chest Shops are also unlikely to be used in a scam attempt. Chest Shops are also convenient. They can be used when the owner of the Chest Shop is offline, and they can be made by anyone!
In order to create a chest shop you will need:
1 Chest
1 Sign
At least one item of the type you wish to buy or sell
Place the chest and then Shift+Right-Click the sign onto the chest. There are four lines for text on the sign which should be filled out as follows
Line 1 - This line is allocated for a specific user ID. It will auto-fill, leave this line BLANK. Line 2 - This line is allocated for the numberof items that will be bought/sold each time the shop is used. This can exceed an item's stack size, but cannot exceed the size of a player's inventory, or the available inventory space of a chest. Type a number on this line.
HINT: You could sell 100 Cobblestone in a Chest Shop, but NOT 100 Cakes.
Line 3 - Enter B (for buy-shops) or S (for sell-shops) followed by a Colon : then the amount of money that will be exchanged each time the sign is clicked. Example: S :100, or B :1000.
HINT: When creating Chest Shops, remember that the sign is read from the customer's perspective. Will they be (B) buying items from you, or (S) selling items to you?
Line 4 - Enter the name of the item you are trying to sell. You can use the command /iteminfo to get the exact name required for the Chest Shop.
2. Once you have filled in the info needed on lines 2, 3, and 4 of the sign click the Done button. If you have filled everything out correctly you will receive a message in chat that says ‘’’Chest Shop Created’’’ You have created a chest shop! You can now place an item into the chest to set the item type. Items names thatexceed the sign’s character limit may appear cut off on the final shop. ‘’Even if you intend for customers to sell an item to you, you will still need at least one of the desired item in the chest at all times in order for them to do so.’’
To use a Chest Shop, players need to either left or right-click the sign attached to the chest. You do NOT need to be holding an item in your hand to sell it.
HINT: It is much safer to use Chest Shops with an empty hand.
Chest Shops are powerful, because they can be used to sell items for much higher prices than Auction House, and are not subject to tax, unlike the /pay command. However, Cyan Deserts still has rules regarding Chest Shop usage. This is mostly explained in Rule 12. Further limitations:
Paying disproportionate amounts of money for ANY item using Chest Shops will result in balance and rank reset for all parties involved. Items cannot be overpriced, and paying a premium for crafted items is not allowed. (Charging extra for crafting the item)
For items thatstack in 16 (such as Eggs or Signs) chest shops can buy/sell up to 432 for a single chest, or 864 for a double chest.
For items which stack in 64 (such as Cobblestone) chest shops can buy/sell up to 1,728 for a single chest, or 3,456 for a double chest.
