In Click(), usr is the clicker, and src is whatever you're clicking, so you're adding the item to the inventory of the shopkeeper instead of the player. And, you don't need "set src in oview(2)", that's for verbs. You'd want something more like this:
Click()
    if(!src in oview(1)) return //if the thing clicked isnt within one square of the clicker, do nothing
    //continue the procedure, they must be close enough

new/obj/lololitemplz(usr)


That should work.

Contents is not the same thing as an object that is placed in usr.

Actually it is, but using new/itempath(usr) is far better than usr.contents+=new/itempath().

Incidentally, I implore you to stop using "lololitemplz" and other similar garbage in your posts. And by implore, I mean insist. Be plain, be clear, or don't bother posting code help to people. A number of your "helping" posts have already been deleted because they were pure rubbish and did not help at all, plus the use of this leetspeak crap gives them a mocking quality.

Alright, I apologize for these silly posts. I'll try to be more informing from now in.

For one: i think your supposed to put 
if("Dagger")

>                       src.contents.Add(new/obj/dagger)

And for two: i dont think you specified where thhe items supposed to be going.

And finally for three: im a newb coder so im just trying to fix your problem the best way i can.(if you havent already fixed it yourself)
