    This is quite remarkable. I was thinking of saving up for a spawn shop myself, but i believed it wasn't worth it. If I were to ever get a spawn shop, could i ask you for guidance in putting it together?

    Sure. If you are buying a top floor shop, I strongly recommend trying for one of the 8 closest to the portal though. I believe these 8 get a lot more traffic than any other shops. I think the numbers are 17, 18, 21 and 22 on the red side if you are wondering exactly which ones I'm talking about. The blue ones are the mirror image of those.

    TANS, would you consider making a guide on how best to run a top floor spawn shop. How to acquire your stock, what price to sell it at etc.

    Perhaps when I have achieved more of my financial goals. I'm about to open a new shop and am not eager to create a bunch of clones. However, much can be learned from looking at my shop (and usernameofdeath's, random2580's, delucaco's, sinder33's to name a few).

    I had been thinking about doing a guide, and I think I can share a few things. I'll see if I can write something tonight.

    I'm wondering, where do you obtain stock? Do you get it yourself, buy off good deals in trade/auc? Thx.

    When I had a top floor shop, I bought the cheap blocks from the server store and marked them up for sale as stacks. expensive blocks i looked for deals in the market, or i set up a sign to buy them from users, or i farmed them myself. I bought xp and nstars from customers and re-sold them to other customers.
