Ok I'm about sick of ctrl+clicking every bloody item in say a shop etc and placing ownership on them. Easier way anyone?

I just happened to read about it last week, if I remember correctly: add a chest to the shop, set the ownership of the chest to the shop owner and place the items in there. I linked to the original thread below so you can read it all back:

but if the items are to be visible I don't know if there's an easier way
