### **What are Chest Shops?**

**Chest Shops** are the best way to buy and sell large amounts of items on the server, especially when you have a [Player Warp](/how-to-play/content/player-warps.md) for people to visit and use those shops. **These shops support all items on the server**, including custom items here on CYT!

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is a **15%** tax on all shop transactions, a **£10** fee to create a shop, and a **£50** fee to change the price of an existing shop.
{% endhint %}

<summary>Knowing Prices</summary>

Trying to think of what to sell an item for?\
It's difficult, so we made a custom plugin that averages prices out.

**Holding an item**\
If you're wanting to sell an item that you're holding, simply type **/iworth hand** and the plugin will return the average price of it. If it hasn't been sold before, this sadly won't be of any help.

**Want to search? No problem.**\
This plugin also has a search feature! Simply type **/iworth search \<item-name>** This works with custom items, crate keys, basically everything.

**Want to just look at every item ever sold? No problem.**\
Simply type **/iworth all** and there you go!

**How does it work?**\
It takes all sales of all items from both Auction House and Chest Shops and averages it out.

### **How to make a Chest Shop**

You will need:

* A Chest/Barrel
* One or more of the items you wish to buy/sell

#### Steps:

1. Place a chest where you want your shop to be
2. Crouch and punch the chest with the item you wish to sell/buy
3. Type how much you intend to sell/buy for
4. (*If Selling*) Put at least one of the items you want to sell in the chest
5. (*Optional*) To change from selling to buying (or vice-versa), right-click the shop sign and click the messages to change the settings.

Alternatively, you may use the various quickshop commands to create and manage your shops. For a full list of available commands, use `/qs help` while in-game.
