Shop command
The SHOP command allows you to see the wares in most shops. You can type SHOP by itself to view the the items that hold goods for sale, and you can also type SHOP <ITEM> to view the goods for sale on it. Finally, you can type SHOP <GOOD> to view basic information about it, such as where it's worn, what it looks like, and how much it costs.
This also works on Trader Market tables.
Since you are on a newer Front End, you can open the Shopping window and view all of the output in there. To do this, type SHOP WINDOW.
Additionally, if you have links turned on, you can click on items or goods in the window to use the SHOP verb on that item. If you click on the topmost link, it will take you back to the previous list.
Player-owned shop commands
Traders who own shops in the market plaza have access to special options:
SHOP PRICE
You can use SHOP PRICE to alter the price of an item after it's been put up for sale:
- SHOP PRICE [ITEM] {on/in surface} for [PRICE] - Sets the price of the item.
As with selling an item, you are required to put down a deposit based on the sale value of the item. See the SHOP SELL information for more details.
SHOP RESERVE
You can reserve an item for purchase by a specific buyer. To do this, you can enter SHOP RESERVE [ITEM] {on surface} FOR [CUSTOMER]. This will reserve the item for the customer for four anlaen. When the reservation expires, anybody can purchase the item again. You will be unable to reserve that item again for twelve anlaen.
SHOP CUSTOMER
Shows you what your customers would see if they used the SHOP verb.
SHOP REMOVE
There are two distinct uses of SHOP REMOVE - Removing items and removing customers.
SHOP REMOVE [CUSTOMER] escorts the target customer out of your shop. They will be unable to return to your shop for a specific period of time. By default this is two anlaen, but you can change that using SHOP TIMERS.
SHOP REMOVE [ITEM} {from container} is how you can remove an item from sale. You must have a free hand to do this.
SHOP BLACKLIST
If a customer is being especially disruptive, you can use SHOP BLACKLIST [CUSTOMER]. This will place the customer on a 'no entry' list that the guards will keep a close eye on, and they will not allow that customer to enter the shop. A blacklist entry lasts for ten Elanthian weeks (10 RL days) by default, which can be changed using SHOP TIMERS BLACKLIST. There is a non-refundable fee of one silver per Elanthian week for every person you blacklist this way.
If you would like to remove somebody from your blacklist prematurely, you can use SHOP BLACKLIST REMOVE [CUSTOMER]. You will not be refunded your fee for the extra work that the guards had to do to keep an eye out for that customer.
[Note: You can only blacklist a customer that is logged in.]
