Akemi Przhevalsky Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is it true Secondlife raised its prices :0?I went to transfer and buy some lindins a few minutes ago and suddenly the scale said something like this...2,500 = 10.503500 = 14.06These prices are insane!!!!What happened overnight? <:'/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Its been 2600 for $10.30 since I became active again in 2009. And I do see what you're saying. Now it wants $1.50 for me to get 260L. $10.78 for 2600L. They've always said there was an exchange rate, looks like it has shifted. L$2490 = $10.30. So today's 249L is what 260L was yesterday. In 2009 I saw it drop to 258 a few times, but never more. This is a drop of 11 less lindens per dollar. That's significant. That's one less common-breed Meeroo per US$10. Or one older outfit at Bare Rose. Or two weeks of 50 prims in the average club mall stall. Or two less of the clothing items in my shop that people can buy.

Keli Kyrie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 That seems to be off $L11 per $1 U.S. from what it has been the past month. That is not the biggest jump I have seem. The price goes up and down depending on the market, though lately it has seemed to do a lot more going up. :smileysurprised: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keli Kyrie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Where have you been getting $L2600 for $10? I have not seen that good of a deal since last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussycat Catnap Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Unless I'm wrong. I haven't been paying close attention because its been so stable for so long. I think I do recall seeing $10.34 once. I tend to buy in $10 incriments because its easy to pretend to myself that I'm not wasting money on that video game again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I also by in $10 increments when I buy lindens. If you want to save money, get an annual premium account (with a $L 300/ week stipend), collect good freebies wherever possible, & either get a job in world or sell some Transferable, No Copy items. It's possible to generate some income in-world & be careful of what you spend. Then you probably won't feel too guilty about spending a relatively small amount of money on a "game".

hope Antonelli Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Its at 246=1 right now, so its still falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrie Juran Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The Linden dollar has strengthened against the U.S. dollar. It's basic economics at work. If and when we see the current debt crisis resolved we should see the U.S. dollar strengthen against the Linden dollar but I am not holding my breathe on that. LL could respond by either inflating or deflating the currency supply in order to maintain a stable market in SL (translate as make money with SL). I always use the Limit Buy function and get a better rate than the market buy. At a minimum I will get 5L more per U.S. dollar than with market buy. Best I ever did was 12L over. I have heard some people say they have done even better than that. Just takes a little planning ahead and not waiting till I am out of Lindens before I place my bids because some times you have to wait a little bit for someone to offer to sell at that rate.

This is a plus for Merchants and Landlords, especially some of the smaller Land Lords like mine who have been on the brink of quitting. But as of a minute ago there were around 80,000,000L being sold at 248 on limit buy. If you placed an order for 251 it would probably get filled pretty quick.

Void Singer Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have no idea what you people are on about.... I'm looking at the lindex trading history and the only thing I see is the same steady slow decline of $US value compared to the $L (or rise in $L value if you prefer), and a lowered volume of trade (to be expected with it being july and the lowered us dollar value) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WADE1 Jya Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I agree with Void, I do not understand at all what you people are seeing on this thread :matte-motes-crying: One very confused cat here.... Lindex has top buy offer at 258, top sell offer at 248. What page are you guys looking at? Is it some sort of third party exchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 it still the same as when i bought some last week,.like $4.32 = $L1,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hope Antonelli Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Look on Dashboard front page, go down to buy L's and type in what you want to exchange. Last evening it was showing 240.62=1. This is a realitivility show demonstration, but i was watching it drop steadily for about 45 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 oh you guys are looking at the "estimated exchange rate" on the instant buy page..... yeah that's lower because it includes the transaction fee that you get 0$L for.... so that rate will seem to change based on how much you buy at once.... the more you buy at once the closer to the actual trade value you will get..... seriously... ignore that. The only thing it's telling you is that the 0.30$US surcharge for each transaction adds up if you buy lots of small amounts, instead of one larger amount.
