=o So, for all you Vincent hermits...Get out! Jus' kidding. So with Vincent having more likelihood of buying and selling due to the fact that nobody will be able to create massive automated quarries, I figured I'd maintain a thread devoted to all the little money-making schemes I come up with, as well as anyone else, and as well as things people want to see sold in shops. So, I start this off with all the things I've put together, and people can add with advertisements to their shops, and we can kind of condense all trade needs here. I'll also post what I'd like to see out of shops. :-D Just FYI, I live at Santa Fe Drive and Paradise Circuit and labeled myself 27 Santa Fe Drive, so anything that says "my home" or "my shop" is directly related to that place. It looks kinda like the pringles guy on the RT map due to the semi-intentional face on my roof. 1. Dear shops :-D devote a couple chests to buying stuff. I wanna sell you stuff. o.o' 'cause I'm a greedy credit keeper. Also, the ones that haven't opened, open so I can buy some cool stuff. Bought myself a pumpkin helmet, that was cool. 2. My shop sucks right now. =/ Despite having an illegal basement shop, I haven't got a lot to brag about. The main line of items sold so far are 64 netherrack for 1 credit, 64 cobblestone for 2 credits. I also buy 64 cobblestone for 1 credit, so if you're loaded up on the stuff, feel free to sell some to me until that chest fills up! Also, since I'm unable to create exchanges (last I checked.) I did place a box in my shop so that people can sell iron to me for credits at the exact market value, if you happen to be closer to Santa Fe than the market. I'll be adding stuff as is possible. 3. Advertisement space = Street side of my house has four premium sign rentals, 1 iron for a lifetime sign in front of my house. It's good exposure if you've got a kickass shop at market, because Santa Fe is on the other side of city, and will give a shout out to my neighborhood. 4. Space rentals: I've dug out two rooms in the basement, one is quite small, good for placing a shop chest in or a bed, or whatever. The other is quite large, and would be a premium space considering as I add to my shop, you're likely to get more foot traffic in yours if you rent that space. Bottom line is a lifetime rental of the small space is 1 iron, and a lifetime rental of the large space is 10 iron. 5. Casino game! Though I've developed a few MC games of chance, the space requirement for most of them makes me not want to put it all together right now. I have put together one game with a 1/5 chance of winning. Basically, I take a bone, stick it in a chest, you come into the room, guess a chest, open it up. No bone = no win. The winning table is on a scale, the more you bet, the more you lose, but have a chance to win bigger. All bets are iron ingots. BET 1 WIN 1 BET 2 WIN 2 BET 3 WIN 3 BET 4 WIN 8 BET 5 WIN 15 =o So, anyone with a gambling addiction, hit me up. Eventually, after earning more iron, I can increase the winning table, because ideally a game with a 1/5 win chance would be more like BET 1 WIN 1 BET 2 WIN 4 BET 3 WIN 9 BET 4 WIN 16 BET 5 WIN 25 But I just don't have enough iron to lose yet, so the winning table has to stay as is for the moment until I've mined/won more iron. Outside the casino are also iron venders off my own economic strength, so you can buy and sell iron at your heart's content for market price. 6. Mining Tunnel I'm digging around level 13y. This tunnel is free use, just don't screw up the main hallway. Because of how long this tunnel is, and the fact that I'll likely continue it forever and ever and ever, it's entirely free to use and you may use it to explore cave systems. It has bumped into game-generated mine shafts, lava pools and the like. o.o Not as much a buy/sell commodity, but it'll make you guys richer...and more willing to lose iron at my casino.
I made a potion shop for those who can't be arsed to go through the trouble of tredging through the nether for the warts, sparing gold on glistering melons, or farming blaze's for the rods. I sell several kinds of potions, made sure to even make it a little gimmicky and memorable with the alliteration and wool potion across from the giant sheep. But no buys. It doesn't seem worth it to keep the brewing operation going. No demand.
I'm thinking of making a little shop far from the city, for the traveler on the road or something like that. Any ideas on what i should sell and where the shop should be? I now have a little shop with melons next to my castle (south of the city), already sold 1. But the sell isn't high in any shop, with at most 12 players online at the same time (don't know what the total amount of players on vincent is).
