Scattered throughout RuneScape are many shops where you can buy and sell items. Most shops will specialise in a certain type of item, for instance, a sword shop will only buy and sell swords. In addition to these specialist shops, there are several "general stores", which will buy and sell almost anything; however, items in general stores normally cost slightly more, and such stores will pay less for items that you sell to them. If you take the trouble to find the right shop, you can often get a better deal. <br><br>
To view a shop's inventory, you must talk to the shopkeeper in the store and choose the conversation option to indicate that you wish to buy or sell. <br><br>
Alternatively, players using a multiple button mouse can right-click and choose the 'Trade' option to go straight to the shop screen. Single button mouse users should click on the shopkeeper and select the 'Trade' option. A screen like the one shown below will appear.

Shop inventory and right-click options
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<br><br>
The key to the top-right of the shop interface explains what information is being shown about each item in stock. The number above each item says how many of that item are available, while the number below says how much it will cost. The icon next to the price denotes what currency is needed. Typically, this will be RuneScape's standard currency of gold coins, but there are a few shops dotted around that will require other currencies. <br><br>
You will see in the example shop shown above that there are two types of stock: 'Free sample items' and 'Main stock'. Only a handful of shops in RuneScape will offer free sample items; most shops will just have a main stock.

Item information box
</div>
For multiple button mouse users, right-clicking on the item will open a menu with the following options: 'Info', 'Examine', and various 'Buy' options. Left-clicking will always select the 'Info' option. (Note: single button mouse users will always get a menu.)
<br><br>
Selecting the 'Info' option will bring up the 'Item information' box in your side interface, providing further information about the item. If the item is either a weapon or armour, it will also display the item's combat bonuses, where it is wielded and if you lack the required skill levels to use it. The 'Examine' option will just display a description of an item in the chat window. Choose one of the various 'Buy' options when you have decided what to purchase, and in what quantity. <br><br>
To sell your items to a shop, clicking on the item in your inventory and the shop will tell you how much it is prepared to pay (if anything). The price a shop sells an item for and the price it will buy that same item for will not be the same. Shops buy items at a lower price than they sell them for - the shopkeeper needs to make some profit! If you wish to sell an item from your inventory, simply right-click on the item you wish to sell, then choose the amount you wish to sell from the list. (Note: again, single button mouse users will always get a menu.)
<br><br>
<img class="imgleft" src="../../img/main/kbase/controls/shop_general_store2.gif">
If the shop is a general store, you will see a 'pots' icon in the top corner. Unlike specialist stores, which will only buy stock that interests them, you can sell a much larger range of items to a general store.
<br>
<a name="prices"></a>
<br>
<div class="headings">
<span class="headertitleleft"><span class="headertitleright">Prices</span></span>
</div>
<br>
The prices for items you sell to the shop are dynamic, they are not static. Prices are determined by the store's stock levels and their market value. For example, if you sell ten items to the store, you could get 5gp for the first three, 4gp for the next five and 3gp for the final two. For your next sale of the same item, the store could reduce the price it will pay to 2gp per item. So, if you sell another ten of the same item to the store, you will get less money than before.
<br><br>
The prices that shops sell items for are frequently adjusted to match the flow of price changes at the <a href="controls_the_grand_exchange.html">Grand Exchange</a>. This is to prevent people being able to buy items from shops and sell them for profit at the Grand Exchange, or vice versa. <br><br>
When buying items, if you choose to buy, say, ten of an item, but there are only five available, the store will only charge for and sell five of that item to you. You will always pay the market price for these items.
