Rule of the Shopkeeper

Well seeing as my last rule was a success I decided to make some up on shopkeeping.

OWNING AND RUNNING SHOPS

GETTING A SHOP
First off to get a shop you're gonna' need 10,000 MLA. The price may seem a little high but this is what Rex has decided and if you run it successfully you should earn more than you spend.

Now, as soon as you have 10,000 MLA deduct 10,000 MLA from your character at Vykkers Labs. Then create a post. The topic should look like this:

'Name of Shop Here' - 'Owners Name Here' - Shop

Simple enough, eh? So heres an example of what one would actually look like:

The Weapon Store - Dude, FireFrog - Shop

Well how hard was that? If you want to own a shop with another RPGer then split the cost. For 2 people to own it, the shop will cost 5000 MLA each. You can also do it like this: Person 1 - 6000 MLA, Person 2 - 4000 MLA. So there ya have it. Don't forget, Moolah must also be split between the two of you. Moolah must be split EVENLY with no exceptions.

GETTING STOCK
Well what would be the point of having a shop if you could just stick any old thing in it and make Moolah out of it... No no no!! You've gotta' buy the stock... hehehe!

Buying stock is easy. Soon a topic will be posted on the main page, where Rex and I have created items you are able to purchase. To purchase an item, just deduct the correct Moolah and bingo, you got it. *REX PLZ PM ME TO GET THIS SHOPPING CATALOGUE THING READY*

Now to show your stock in your shop type it out like this:

'Name of Item' - 'Class' - 'Your Price' - 'Stock Left'
*Insert Description of Item here*

So for instance:

Blitz Packer - Weapon - 100 MLA - 01 Left
The Blitz Packer is perfect for all your killing needs.

Please remember, you don't have to sell the item at the price you bought it for... sell it at what ever price you wish. Be warned though... not everyone has a stack of Moolah for you!

**IMPORTANT** You may not buy stock and then keep it for you to use. All stock must be put into your shop. A main shop will be set up soon so that you may buy from there. No body will get Moolah from its earnings and their will be infinite stock of everything in it. The prices will be a little high however...
*REX, PLZ PM ME TO SET THIS UP TOO PLZ*

BUYING FROM A SHOP
Again. Simple. Go into a shop, see how what you want. Ask for it in a message and the keeper can either accept or decline selling it to you. If they accept, then deduct your Moolah and add the item to your inventory. If your inventory is full, then delete an item. Shopkeepers add the Moolah to their account and deduct the stock. Be responsible. If the buyer does not have enough Moolah, then don't sell. Here's an example of a post:

CUSTOMER:
Shopkeeper, can I buy 2 Blitz Packers?

SHOPKEEPER:
Yes you may CUSTOMER.

And there you have it. When the main shop is up you wont have to ask for the stuff, you can just deduct Moolah and add the item to your inventory.

PAGE SETUP
Now finally.... how the shop should look. You know how the title should look, so heres what the rest should look like.

!! TITLE OF SHOP HERE !!
~ Owners Name Here ~

*Insert Welcome Message*

'Item Name' - 'Class' - 'Selling Price' - 'Stock Left'
*Insert your custom description of the item here*

*Insert Goodbye Message*

So with all the text... a little something like this:


!! MY SHOP !!
~ Dude ~

Hi, welcome to my shop.

Blitz Packer - Weapon - 75 MLA - 02 Left
This Blitz Packer is brand new! U should like it.

Thanks for visitting my shop. Come again soon.



And there you have it! And remember... the NUMBER 1 RULE is to be truthful with your Moolah. Don't buy something if you don't have the Moolah. Be honest. If anyone is caught faking their Moolah... umm... uh.... REX WILL BEAT YOU UP!!!

This rule brought to you by FIREFROG - God's Greatest Mistake!

Tell me what ya think!
