[questions on limit buy]

Unless you have experience with RL currency exchanges or feel confident that you understand how they work, it's probably best to use the Market Buy option.  Or at least try Limit Buy with a small amount, sometime when you don't need the L$ right away.

When you buy or sell L$, you are trading with other SL residents, not with LL.  In order to have a successful trade, you need to make an offer that is attractive enough to make some other resident agree.  As a rule, then, the idea is to make an offer that is no more than one or two steps away from the price at which the largest volume of current orders are placed.  If you open the LindeX page  to BUY L$ now, you will see that the greatest number of orders currently are for

L$255 / US$1.00

L$110,688,981

So, you want to make your own offer just slightly more attractive than average.  Instead of offering to buy L$255 for a dollar, offer to buy L$254 or L$253.  You order will be executed before all of those who are waiting for an offer at L$255/$1 to be accepted.  If you get greedy and go the other direction --- offering a price that is higher than L$255/$1 -- you will have to wait a LOT longer.  Perhaps forever.

 

Yes but you also have to relize how much 60,000L is at the price some of us aren't millionaires
