    You're not a resident so making trade signs for the store would be impossible.

    Very good point. You will atleast need to become a resident to make trade signs unless you find another way.

    A mob drop shop is a very good idea seeing as many people have problems finding mobs or there are some users (such as myself) who almost never step into the wild and thus do not have many opportunities. If you can keep it stocked it would be a very good idea. I would, however, recommend getting resident first because putting that kind of trust into another user is not recommended.

    I would ask a user that I trust to make trade signs, and thank you for the feedback!

    I like this idea, although I can get free mob drops every 1 1/2 hours from /kit mobs. Just try not to overprice them because they aren't as rare as some people think.

    Bones, spider eyes (I buy these like crazy), and gunpowder are good for shops.

    I'm a trustworthy person...but I'm gonna charge interest for stuff sold. I mean, I'm not gonna waste my time jiggling with your signs for nothing :p

    I like this idea. I really think you should wait until you get resident though. A lot of people are gonna ask for money and its a lot safer for you to just make the shop yourself. Definitely do this though.

    you can't have someone make trade signs for you, it doesn't work that way.

    only the creator of the trade sign can take money out and put items in, so basically they'd be running the shop for you. makes no sense.

    What I would do is give someone the mob drops and tell them for how much to sell tem for. Then when all/many of the drops are sold, I would have them break the sign and give me the money and remaining drops, if any.
