How to create a shop
Player shop
- Place a chest on the ground
- Place a sign 1 block away from the chest (for example, above the chest)
- On the sign, write:

- First line will be filled by the plugin automatically.
- Price line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You've got to have a price indicator (like 'B' - price that will apply to items BOUGHT by PLAYERS - or 'S' - the SELL price) near the price - the prices are separated by a colon (:)
- Some of the possible price combinations: "B 5:5 S", "B 5", "S free"
- You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo
- For example:

- A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from AcrobotPL
Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission / you are an OP.
To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign.

Okay, I'll just copy and paste what he wrote on HackForums. :)
This method allows you to duplicate items, given you can make chestshops.
Requires: - Access to create a *Double Chested* chestshop - 2 People - ONE of an item you wish to dupe.
Method: Make a double-chested chest shop for the item you want to dupe. On the sign, sell the item at *2* per purchase, at a ridiculously low rate (so the other person does not run out of money). Place the single item in the chest, and have the person buy it. He will get two items from the purchase, even though you only placed one. Have him hand back the items. Now, leave the chest open, and keep placing one item in at a time as he purchases them. Works for every item.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know a way to edit a sign so you don;t have to break it a place a new one to make a change?
Either in game or be editing a file?
Thanks
