The above the the shop section from The Shire.

"#SHOPS" denotes the beginning of the shop section, and is required.

1113 is the VNUM of the mobile which is being set as a shopkeeper.

"17 0 0 0 0" are the item types which the shop will buy. 0s should be used if there are not 5 buyable types.

"150 50" are the shop's profit values. The shop sells items for the first value, in this case, 150% of the item's value, and sells for the second, in this case, 50% of the item's value.

"0 23" are the shop's hours. All shops on PKmud should have hours of 0 to 23, which means the shop is always open.

The final "0" denotes the end of the shop section, and is required.

Anything on a line beyond the hours is a comment, and is ignored by the game.
