 Hello! What can I do for you?
-If you sold something here, you can view the sales if you want.
-If you want to receive the money for the sales just tell me.
-If you want to trade something for a different price I tell you
-please 'rename' it to the price you want to sell if for. For example 
+
+If somebody bought your item(s), you can view your sales if you want.
+
+If you want to collect the money for the sales just tell me.
+
+If you want to offer something for a different price,
+please 'rename' it to the price you want to sell it for first, e.g.
 'rename bolt to <12 platinum 10 silver>'. You will receive the
-money from me if someone bought that item. I deduct a fee for using my shop
-of 1% of the price I offer you or you want to have for the item.
+money from me only after someone bought that item.
 
-If you don't want to sell the item anymore just take it out, it won't cost you
-anything except the fee you paid when putting it into my shop.
-Also note that the buyer can bargain the price, so you maybe get more
-or maybe even less than you wanted to have for the item. But don't
-be afraid, you will still get enough.
+I deduct a fee of 1% of the nominal price for using my shop for every item
+offered for trading, in advance. If you don't want the item offered anymore
+just take it with you, it won't cost you anything, but the initial fee is mine
+for the keeps.
+
+Also note that the buyer can bargain for the price, so you may get more
+or even less than the price you specified. But don't be afraid, you will still
+get enough.

+You either just drop something on the shop floor,

+For example:
 
    mark ring of thieves
    rename to <12 royalty 10 platinum>
 
-(In CFPlus you just have to right click on it, and

-The shopkeeper also wants a fee of 1% of the selling

+The shopkeeper also takes a fee of 1% of the selling

 you want.
-Note that other players can bargain about the

 Have fun!
