I was thinking of buying two plots of land near spawn , and making a general store. It would be above and below ground, and would have every item imaginable. Of course this would take alot of time to get everything imaginable in minecraft. So I would like to ask for help to build my store if the community wants it. Also, I would need donations from the community to aqcuire the items. Please complete the poll.

i like the idea
can i be ure wood/log supplier?
For a price of course, 1 iron per stack maybe.

Yeah sure I guess....Im going to need more than wood though. Ill need like all ores too. And precious items.

Deas, it may be worth you and i having a little conversation about a possible joint venture

i could sacrifice two and a half units (about 25x10) for an in house shop inside the $afe$tore, maybe more

[edit] that's if the $$ has enough interest to be worth my time building ! lol

if you go for this general store idea, your brains will turn to bacon.
good luck tho.

I think once the economy plugin Broonie is making is implemented, we might see more stores pop up. Specialty stores might be the way to go for now, less stuff for people to gather and keep track of.... like wool shops, armor/weapons shops, food shops, etc. There are already a few specialty shops around newspawn...but most are never open, due to the players who built them not being online.

We should have an 'employee' module in the economy plugin that allows the employee to make transactions on behalf of someone else, and the funds still go to the right person.

Yes do it why not?

Like Minecraftblock0 said, it's hard to maintain a general store. Speciality stores are far easier to uphold, unless you hire additional people to work for you. And then again, you'd have to have a steady stream of stuff from them again. Can you trust them to always keep the goods coming? Hehe.

Well, in any case, good luck, whatever you decide to do.

Change of plans, due to Diablothe2nd's generocity, I will be moving my general store's location to inside the $afe $store

:D good to hear mate, good to hear.

i think there are now 3 people not including myself that are interested. i'll talk to all involved to see if we can come up with a collaborative effort.

no point us all competing with each other in such close proximity. 4 people on the other hand, could be a good base for a General Store or at least a centralised location for all to trade at.
