When you buy items do they cost the same as real life money!?

Hehehehe nope you can get like 4977L for 20 bucks USD Everything you buy in SL costs L's or Lindens. Anywhere from free (0L) to REALLY expensive (10,000L)

 

I like your post, it was too cute

No. 

 

Items you purchase in SL or on Market Place are paid with the SL currency (L$ or Linden dollars) which by Linden Lab's definition are "tokens" with no monetary value.  I'm sure there's a legal issue that LL has concerns about for making that distinction.  There is, however, some real life monetary value to the L$'s because you can sell them on the Linden Xchange to other residents for real money.........presently (and for quite a long time) the exchange rate is approximately L$250 to $1.00 USD.  So that item you buy in SL or Market Place that costs L$250 is approximately equal to $1.00 USD.
