It is needless to say that the shops are one of the main sources of income for the majority of the players within
Prison. Whether it is through the /auctionhouse or through the /shop, there are
many ways to help you generate income.
Within this page, we will discuss the most important details and information regarding the shop and auctionhouse.
Whilst the prison shop won't be your primary source of income, or any source of income in general, it serves the
purpose of allowing you to purchase blocks to turn your prison cell into a kingdom. By typing the command
/shop, you will be able to purchase multiple different types of items, starting from cobblestone, all the
way to redstone items and music discs.
Unlike the /shop, the /auctionhouse has a much higher diversity of items, especially
prices, and will play a crucial role in your economy. Given how the Prison shop is predefined and created before the
game mode resets, the price remains the same at all times for both selling and buying items. But, the auctionhouse is
lead by the players, and therefore the prices will be according to the game mode's economy at the time, as well as the
type of items available on the auction house will be much higher.
Having said this, an item could easily be sold for a few millions at the beginning of the season, and have a massive drop on its price at the end of the season due to it being much easier to obtain. You should always do your best to follow the trend within the market, and make sure you get the best deals, but also keep in mind that you may not always get the deals you are looking for, so you must be flexible.
ALERT: We encourage you to be cautious when trading with other players, given how scamming is allowed on Prison.
