Dislike the thought of having to build farms and constantly replant items?
Come on over to Frobalt's shop, where items are sold at a price which is cheaper than the market.
To use the shop, do /home frobalt. Inside you will find droppers which are used to collect payment and dispense items. Above the droppers are signs, which indicate what you pay and what you get. Simply put your payment inside the dropper and watch as it dispenses your items. Ratio is 1:1 and currencies vary, but all can be found on the market. However, not all produce can be found on the market, so it is useful.
Here is a list of things with what you pay and what you get, as well as the price of the resource if you bought it at the market.
Pay: Stone - Price per stack: $150
Receive: Cactus - Price per stack: $500
Total saving: $350

Can't be bought on market - If gold bought on market eggs work out at about $39 each! Gold nuggets can be obtained by putting 1 gold ingot into the crafting grid.
As you can see, going to the market and buying gravel/stone will be a cheaper way to get the item you want, so there's no reason not to visit my shop, especially since you can easily farm these items when mining for other resources.
Note: Please let me know if an item supply runs out and you don't get your item and I will reimburse you.
However, this isn't likely to happen as the stocks are quite high at the minute and I can't imagine the shop being that popular. Let me know what you think.
