instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Place this script above Main, below Materials and above any other scripts that modify the command window of Scene_Shop.
Rather than using a switch, this uses a script command in an event.

To make your shops sell-only, call this script before shop processing:
By default, a shop is not sell-only (shop_sell_only = false)
This script-call must be done for every shop that you want to be sell-only.
$game_temp.shop_sell_only = true

Optional: Change text of SELL command (do before shop processing).
Only works for a sell-only shop.
By default, it is "Sell"
$game_temp.es_sell_text = "Selling"

Optional: Change text of CANCEL command (do before shop processing).
Only works for a sell-only shop.
By default, it is "Cancel"
$game_temp.es_cancel_text = "Goodbye"

NOTE: When exiting the shop, the script calls above automatically
revert to their defaults i.e. shop_sell_only=false, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE OF A SELL-ONLY SHOP EVENT:

@> Script: $game_temp.shop_sell_only = true
@> Script: $game_temp.es_cancel_text = "Bye!"
@> Shop Processing: [Potion]
: : [Hi-Potion]

Nice script, works for my game.

Erm hi, It's been a while since anyone has looked at this, I hope Its okay to post a question here, but..

In the example there is Potion and de-petrify in the call shop event, which I assumed meant the shop keeper would only buy Potions and de-petrify from you, but when I call my shop, its a Sell EVERYTHING-only shop

He'll buy anything worth anything which is not what I wanted... anyone see a way of just having the shopkeeper buy from you, the things in the call shop list???

Hi, sorry for being so late to post. Your question is an excellent one - it is the reason I wanted a Sell Only Shop script.
Get the Limit Shop Buy script from here:
http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/603-limit-sell-items-to-buy-item-selections/?hl=%2Blimit+%2Bshop
It is a script that only allows the shopkeeper to only buy the items (from you) that he sells! It is a script done by Mithran for RMVX that was ported to VXAce by Mr. Bubble.

I have done a small script to Hide Shop Item Categories, if you need further restrictions/customisation.

Hope that helps.

I apologise for this thread necro, but I figured it was better to use this as my question is relevant, rather than start a new one.

So, to my simple question. I got this script working perfectly and was very simple to implement, so I thank you for that, however, I was wondering how I would go about adapting it to only show a 'sell only' option when the player chooses 'sell' from a list of options.

You see, in my game, I want the player to choose from a list of buy/sell/exit BEFORE opening the shop processing. I can get it 'buy only' for buying easy enough, but not selling.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It's ok, I got this working fine now.
