# Stalls

**Stalls** are persistent, offline shops. Unlike traditional vending - where you have to sit in town with the game open - an Aincrad Legacy stall **keeps running even after you log out**, so your shop never sleeps.

## Vending and buying stalls

There are two kinds of stall:

* **Vending stall** - sells your items to other players for Col.
* **Buying stall** - automatically buys specific items from other players for the prices you set.

You set a stall up using your **vending** or **buying** skill, just like you normally would. The difference is that the stall becomes a permanent fixture: it stays open and keeps trading while you are offline, and it appears as its own machine on the map rather than as your idle character.

## One of each

You can have **one vending stall and one buying stall** per character at a time.

## Sales tax

Every sale pays a **2% tax**, deducted from the Col the seller receives:

* On a **vending stall**, the stall owner receives the sale price minus 2%.
* When you sell to a **buying stall**, you (the seller) receive the offered price minus 2%.

Very small sales - under **50 Col** - are tax-free.

## Managing your stall

If you use your vending or buying skill again while you already own a stall of that type, a manager will ask whether you want to **close** the existing one. Closing a stall returns any unsold items and accumulated Col to you **by mail**.

## Why use them

* **Trade around the clock** without leaving your client open.
* **Buying stalls** let you passively acquire materials you want at your price.
* The whole system is searchable, so buyers can find your goods even while you sleep.

> Supporters have access to a special third kind of stall - the [Buff Stall](/aincrad-legacy-docs/economy-and-social/buff-stalls.md) - that sells buffs instead of items.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aincrad-legacy.gitbook.io/aincrad-legacy-docs/economy-and-social/stalls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
