You say, "The shelf is the most basic way to put items up for sale in a shop. There are also display cases which are meant for putting items up for display instead of sale, as well as bins which are meant for selling items in bulk."

[H: 525 M: 450 -eblrg-]
You say, "Shops can be rented from the Bazaars in the capital cities of the world for a modest amount of gold every month. Each shop can be upgraded with a range of upgrades from additional types of shop containers as mentioned before, as well as multiple rooms, or even a shopkeeper mob which can receive training to perform many tasks to help about the store."

You say, "Currently nothing is up for sale, but Brokers serve to allow non-shopkeepers to sell their goods to the general populace as well. There are several brokers in each city, divided by the types of goods they will trade in. As a side note one of the shopkeeper upgrades allows you to list goods in your shop on the Broker's market as well."

You say, "So let's put an item up for sale on the brokerage."

broker dagger for 500
That item is priced to low to be worth a broker's time. Prices must be at least a thousand gold.
[H: 525 M: 450 -eblrg-]
You say, "Oh no! The broker won't put anything up for that cheap, so let's raise the price to a more appropriate level."

You say, "And as you can see, there is our weapon for any who wish to buy it. And you will also notice that the broker charges 10% of the sale cost up front as a fee for their services. Items will be listed for 17 In-Game days before being mailed to the person who listed them and half the broker's fee being deposited into that person's bank account. 17 days is not quite as arbitrary as it seems, it comes down to being almost exactly one Real Life week."
