Caveat Emptor

[Kimveri Palmer]

Is there any way to find out the prim count of an object (like a stove, for example) before I buy it?

[Nyll Bergbahn]

Yes you can. Right click the object and select Edit. You'll see the number of prims on the right side of the Edit window.

If the object is in a vendor and not on display, the seller should state the number of prims but if not, ask.

[Alexia Cournoyer]

The only thing to be wary of with the right click is that with big/primmy objects sometimes not all the prims are linked together.  You'll know when you look at it because if there are prims that aren't linked they won't be highlighted. 

Most people are pretty good about listing the number of prims when they list their goods on the marketplace, so if you find something you like you can always check to see if it's there.

If you have any doubts the best thing to do is drop the merchant an IM and ask.  it's also a good way to see what kind of service you'll get.  I always think that if you get a poor response before you buy then there's a good chance any problems you have afterwards won't be dealt with well.

Thanks! I'll see how that approach works.
