# Chest/Sign Shop

### To open your own shop

* Fill your chest or barrel with what you want to sell. 
* Put an empty sign on it by crouching and placing the sign.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you'd like to open your own shop, ensure that your prices are at or above the prices listed in the [**Official Pricing Guide**](/mineseed/the-official-price-guide.md).
{% endhint %}

On the sign:

* 1st line: leave blank (really! don't write anything!)
* 2nd line: put QTY (how many are you selling? 1? 32 half a stack? 64 a full stack?)
* 3rd line: B $$$ : S $$$  (use B for people to buy from you. use S for people to sell to you. $$$ is the cost per quantity on the 2nd line. you can use only B or only S or both)
* 4th line: ? (type a literal question mark. when you exit the sign, as long as you have something in the chest or barrel, it will automatically fill in with the item's individual code)

You will receive a notification every time someone buys something from one of your sign shops and you are also online. You can turn these on/off by doing **/cstoggle**.
