After making all that gold you can start spending it. Of course you could try and convince others to sell you items, or you could gamble it all away, but a more obvious approach is to start shopping!
Once you have some gold, you can start spending it! There are a few ways to buy things with your gold. First, you can seek out a [[shop]] and spend your gold there. Shops may be found all across the land, though they are mainly concentrated in the major [[city|cities]] and some villages. They may be owned by denizen (such as the ubiquitous [[Rurin]]), adventurer, or even organization. You can tell if you are in a store by LOOKing: if there is a line stating to use the WARES command, odds are that you are in a shop. Use the aforementioned WARES command to see what is on sale, and for how much. If you want to look more closely at an object, you can PROBE the item listed, though you should use the item's full name (plus number) to avoid conflicting with something you may be holding (or even another item in the shop). To purchase an item, make sure your gold is in your hands, then BUY <item>.


==Buying from stores==
[[Denizens]] may hawk their private wares, too! In such cases, they may not be located in a dedicated shop; they carry their wares with them. In such a case, you will need to ASK <denizen> WARES to view their wares, if any. To look more closely at a ware, you can simply ASK <denizen> <item> and they will show off that particular item. Finally, once you've chosen something to purchase you can BUY <item> FROM <denizen>.
Across the lands you will find stores, mostly in cities and in some of the villages as well. A store allows you to execute the command WARES and will show you a list of items you may buy. To look at a particular item you can LOOK <item> while visiting the store and to see more details you can PROBE <item> as well. If there are more items of a specific type you can use the number to reference the item you wish to examine, for instance: PROBE BOXERS1234.


==Buying from denizens==
Finally, you can trade directly with a willing adventurer. Such trade is reliant on the simple GIVE [#} <item> TO <adventurer> (where the number is optional), and is based on trust between both parties for the goods to be properly transferred. You can make arrangements for such trade in person, in private, or over the dedicated MARKET channel (see [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=MARKET HELP MARKET]), and of course you can be either the buyer or the seller in such a scenario.
Some denizens may also offer wares, if they do you can ASK <denizen> WARES and look at what they are offering. If you decide that you want to buy something from a denizen you BUY <item> FROM <denizen>.
 
==Buying from other players==
If someone has something you want and is welling to sell it to you, you can also buy from another player. There is of course a chance that they will take your money without handing over the item, therefore we advise you to only buy from those that you trust.
 
==Selling goods==
If you have an item you can no longer use and are over level 11 you can use MARKET to offer it to another. The market channel is only meant for buying or selling items or services.
