Searching high and low for a DJ who can manage doing the reception (20-30 min of love songs) and then rock the house in our club . Eclectic mix is ok . If you can spin 8th Element style,. OK We are auditioning for an event on the 11th at 6 SL. Leave a response ASAP if interested . Thanks!

I agree that's a problem but more than likely, that griefer would be in the same amount of trouble whether he/she just abandoned that avatar or sold it. The new owner would understand that he/she is purchasing an account that would be listed in their profile as "transferred on date" and have their payment information on file. This is key in identifying TOS violators and in extreme cases, identifying criminals. Aside from all of this, how many people do you know in RL that have the same names? I know several. The phone booked is jammed with them. IP addresses are unique. If an online crime is committed, the avatar isn't going to jail. It would be the person who committed the crime if caught. If caught prior to an avatar sale, LL has every right to enforce TOS and terminate the user and avatar. There are also users out there who might decide to move on in their real lives, while leaving SL behind. SL isn't exaclty heaven or paradise to some. Everyone should have the opportunity to liquidate their assets. It happens in RL everyday and in SL, the only liquidation that I know of is land. Im pretty sure that since this thread began, the Lindens have been looking into this issue and discussing their options. If inworld avatar sales were permitted, there would be a strong boost in the Second Life economy. LL recently gave away free land. Numerous estate owners were furious since many tenants packed up and took advantage of the free land offer. In a sim contract, LL may not cause harm to Sim owners, but they did, and can be held liable for investment losses. Hundreds of multi Sim owners went under due to LL's free land offer. If I owned a group of sims and my rentors left due to a Linden Labs campaign, and I could no longer pay my monthly tiers due to vacancies, I would be furious. What was on LL's mind when they gave away free land? I consider it harmful to residents of every level.

Precisely. For example :If the owner of a popular location decided that he/she wanted out, but he/she has invested so much time and money into his/her creation, why should this person take such a large hit? If the he owner decide to sell (if it were allowed) the owner would transfer all rights over to the new ownership without the ability to make future claims.

I stated in my message that its is possible for LL to implement a notification of transfer in the profile. As far as virtual identtiy is concerned, I question that based on Second Life users creating alts. Alts are not clones of a persons personality and identity. Most of the time they are used to conceal one's online status or take on another role. I believe that the main reason that we dont see Avatar account transfers is due to the fact that it is an internal economy issue. However, I think this is a topic that needs to be addressed by LL and by the avatar owners. LL left an option open regarding transer of accounts with LL;s written permission. I think it's time for LL to address the circumstances for which permission is granted.

You are correct with respect to transfering to another avatar. By selling or auctioning an avatar, that new owner would aquire all of the inventory. There is no actual transfer of items.

We buy and sell just about anything in Second Life. Everywhere we go there are objects for sale, fee's for groups, textures, homes, cars, clothing, land, sex and sexual related objects, and the list goes on and on. There's one thing that I haven't seen for sale and I am a bit puzzled as to why we don't see Avatars for Sale or on the auction block. Some avatars have inventory containing expensive clothing, homes, vehicles, clubs and club equipment, structures and landscaping, etc, etc. There are people who would bid on seasoned avatars rather than start fresh. Is it possible to sell an avatar in-world or put the avatar up on E-Bay? If Linden Labs could implement a notification in the profile, the equivalent to Payment info used or partnered with, but instead "transfer" or a flag of some sort to indicate the avatar is not who one might expect it to be, this can open up a whole new door to commerce in SL.
