What happens to the items my customers have purchased over the years if I were to delete my avatar?

Hi Victoria,

I'm sorry to hear SL isn't working for you, but you needn't worry about your customers. Anything they've puchased will be unaffected by your departure, unless those things contain scripts that depend on something external to SL that you also maintain. I doubt that's the case, so there should be no worries. Customers will, of course, be unable to ask you questions about the products they've purchased, but that's to be expected.

VIdi, vici, veni.

One of the things you could consider doing is GIVE AWAY your items for free, with full permissions, for a month or so before you close your store and leave SL.

This is a nice civic gesture on the part of a departing creator and insures that future SL residents will still be able to get the things you've put so much love into creating.

...waits for some other creator to cry, "You're harming us by giving away your stuff for free!"

 

Damn those "nice civic gestures"!
