Thread: finally opened my own shop, but I need help

I just built a house. I'm trying to start selling stuff out of my house, and I have a few questions:


1. When I tried to place my vendor, it was facing away from the entrance. The screen on the terminal faced a wall. I tried placing it several times, while facing in different directions. The vendor always faces the same way. I know it will still work, it just looks better when the terminal faces the front door. There doesn't seem to be a move or rotate option on the vendor, even before I initialize it. How can I move/rotate vendors?

2. When I look at other artisan's houses, I see the items for sale displayed around the room. How do I do that? If I drop items first, they don't appear in my list of available items to sell. If I keep them in my inventory, they just dissapear when I put them into the vendor. How do I make my suff I have for sale visible to other players? As a follow-up question, some items I have seen for sale in other house are "hung" on the wall. This is especially true for small items like weapons. How do I "hang" an item on a wall that I want to sell?

Thanks to anyone who can offer some advice!

1) hold down left mouse mutton on the vendor before you initialize it you should see a "rotate" option. Also you can type /rotate left 90

2) These artisans made duplicate items to display around their shop. When you put an item up for sale your shoppers can inspect it once it's on the vendor. Shoppers cannot buy items just lying around your house/shop.

2a) to "hang" items on the wall you need a structure with stairs, walk up the stairs and drop the item there, then use /move forward 1 (really 1-40) to move it in place

The devs have mentioned a possibility of a move up/down intervface IIRC.
