You want to have my idea of how it would work? Assume to have the following features: - rooms with autosave function every n minutes. - chest with owner-features (i.e. nobody can use it except the owners) - ability to interrupt the list, buy and sell commands before and after they are done. When a player does "list", the mob takes all the objects from the chest, does the list command and puts them back. When a player does "buy", the mob takes all the objects from the chest, sells one and puts them back (money included) When a player does "sell", the mob take the object and puts it in the chest. The interrupt should be done via a mob-program. This way you make sure that the shop-player doesn't loose its money/objects because they're autosaved every n minutes. And the shopkeeper-player just has to play with the stuff in the chest to increase/decrease the amount of objects in the shop.
