# Setting Up Your Own Shop
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Rent a shop by clicking on a sign, where the price matches what you can afford. Bigger shops are more expensive. If you do not pay the required renting amount, your shop will automatically be closed. If you plan to be away from the server for a long period of time, create a ticket and ask to preserve your shop.**\
\
**Creating a shop enables other players to purchase items from your store. The funds from these transactions are automatically deposited into your virtual account which can be checked with /**bal**. Your shop will continue to work without you being online and in the server.**
{% endhint %}
**Use barrels instead of chests to reduce lag.**
### Place your barrels and create a sign with the following format:
**Second line:** Specify the item quantity, e.g., "64"
**Third line:** Indicate the cost, e.g, "1"
**Fourth line:** Put a question mark, "?"
**Now crouch/sneak and tap the sign while holding the item you want to sell, and thats it!**
**Here is an example of how your sign should look:**
**Here is an example of how your sign should look like after you crouched and tapped the sign with the item you want to tell for that barrel:**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://starborne.gitbook.io/starborne/arcadia/setting-up-your-own-shop.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
