Having an item cheaper in world carries the benefit of driving traffic to your land and means the shopper is more likely to see your other items so I think its fair to have it cheaper in-world than on the marketplace. And in this case teh merchant even clearly wrote that its cheaper in-world. I think thats fair. As for Linden Labs allowing fraudulant transactions and taking a cut, shame on them. They should be reported to local authorities for this. Theyre the ones facilitating the sale. Shame on them.

I can honestly say that if I see a plot that has auto return off I will be very tempted to place an advert there.

3600L$ for asmall plot that holds 14prims? Im in the wrong business!!

I totally agree with you here. I tried to create my avatar completely free using free and group gifts. But its impossible! Its true when they say you get what you pay for. There are some great freebies in Second Life, but as I searched through free and cheap listings even I could see that some stores are just not worth the little lindens they sell for. Another exmpale is a TP script I purchased yesterday for 9L$. Turns out the creator modified it in such a way it doesnt acutally work. Even though it was just 9L$ i was so annoyed, and even more so when i realised the creator didnt have a store in world and gave ZERO support. But i was annoyed at myself for breaking the golden rule. I usually always find on marketplace, and then check the store in world and check the merchants profile. if it doesnt seem legit, I dont buy. But this time i did. My mistake.

Sounds complicated but I will look in to that. Thinking about it now I'm surprised the marketpalce doesnt give this option. But then I guess there is the risk of merchants spamming people with too many updates.

This TP script no longer works. If a scripted can fix here it is. //_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ //_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ The script begins _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ //_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ vector destination = <128,128,3800>; // the destination coordinate string text = "Touch To Teleport"; // optional floating text on the teleporter, input a space if not used vector text_color = <1.0,1.0,1.0>; // the floating text's color integer touch2sit = TRUE; // TRUE - left click to sit; FALSE - left click to touch integer access_mode = 1; // 1 - public; 2 - owner; 3 - group; //================================================= posJump( vector target_position ) {// Trickery discovered by Uchi Desmoulins and Gonta Maltz.

Oh man! Thats so not the answer I wanted to hear. So one would have to do it manually, noting names and finding in world and manually sending? How would you do it?

Hey, I really liked your points about inexperience, and ignorance. I am new to this, and I probably do seem ignorant because I have not experienced any negative things in situations like this. So for someone new like me its like, well its a group that supports original content. I dont see past that really. It is interesting to learn about how others feel about it, I can see how someone who doesnt want to be in such a group may feel like their work is going to be seen as not original because its not stamped by a logo but at the end of the day, do buyers even care? I think all of the responses here are from merchants. What do buyers really think? Would be interesting to get their point of view.

If a merchant updates an item on the marketplace, is it possible to redeliver it to every resident who purchased the original item? I mean to redeliver it automatically, and not having to do it manually!

Like ChinRey I will give my final thoughts on this group and what it represents. It's a way to show that you are the original creator of the entire item. Sometimes in the past I have purchased an item and soon after realised it was cheaper to buy the original full perm version which is sold by the original creator. It's not saying as a buyer you shouldnt buy full perm items, its just a place for those who create their own to have a group to promote themselves. I do not see anything pretentious or pat eachother on the back about the group. Every niche in Second Life has a group. And it has stores that are both small and large in regards to reputation and popularity. I'm kinda disappointed with the negative feedback its got in the forums. I dont see the harm it does to have a logo that says you created somehting yourself from scratch. Yes anyone can claim they do when they dont but thats not a reason for those who genuinely create their own not to want to advertise the fact.

Im appauled by some of the comments left here. Someone asks for something and in response gets targetted by angry drama loving residents who dont like the idea of people sharing experiences. Im guessing because they themselves have no experience worth sharing. Shame on you for hating on this thread. Grow up and treat others as you wish to be treated. I only hope you get over your thirst for spreading drama and hate which has plagued second life since its beginning.

can you post the items link so we can check it out ourselves? but i agree thats its disgusting that linden labs refuse to step in and help. if this really is a con then LL should help. shame on them for not doing so.

lol me too

If you want to make an enemy trust someone else with your money

Im happy to share my thoughts and experiences.

please do let us know if you get a response with their decision. i was able to speak to a mod there who said they would get back to me after the weekend as they do have a back log of applicants but that was over a week ago.

Thanks for your feedback. I see where youre coming from and your points are really valid. There is a lot to consider. I think the logos look really cool so im still torn as to whether or not to keep using the one i made.

Lots of people with lots of contradicting statements. One minute you're stressing how SAN is not SL and then you're comparing land prices and quoting LL who clearly are targetting SL Avatars to move over to SAN. I guess really nobody knows what the plan is. Personally, from what I've read, LL ARE targetting SL users to get involved in SAN and it does look like they expect SAN to be their main Virtual World. I would imagine that they have a long term goal to move everything over to SAN and close down SL. yes there are other uses for SAN but why wouldnt LL want to move their world on to it too? Thats just based on the comments from LL.

I did see that section but it looks like thats just for actual land sales and rental whereas Im looking to post Property rental. Maybe its the same? UPDATE: I thikn youre spot on there. There are some properties for rent under real estate.

Do you think the HippoRent will be ok? I dont think that uses an exrternal server does it? I literally was just about to set up some skyboxes with them! lol.

If I wanted to rent out skyboxes with the left over prim usage I have on my land, can I list them on the marketplace? I would asume I list a landmark to teh property and make sure I only make (for example) 4 available if theres only 4 skyboxes? Also, does anyone have any advice for renting out skyboxes? I dont need them to make me rich, i just have a lot of prims not being used so really fancy doing this.

Really you should take a screenshot of the convo and send it in along with a ticket via the support portal, but you should also post it here for other designers to see because that way they may recognise theyre stuff and they could report him too.

So i noticed the SLOCCA badges on some brands and decided to apply but after two weeks of no response im assuming theyre busy or dont accept new/small brands like mine. But I really like the idea of having a badge confirming the content was made 100% by me. I guess because I spend hours/days on each little item. I made my own but I would rather be part of an official group. What do people really feel about these logos and groups? Are there any other groups to join? Is it OK just to create your own?

A temp rezzer is a great idea. A lot of merchants use them. They call them a TRIAL version. Most will rez for approx 5 seconds then de-rez however, I always wondered what would happen if you rezzed it on land that did not allow scripts to be run, would that mean it never derezzes? Might be worth looking in to, and maybe adding the idea above or adding a DEMO texture all around the walls inside and out. GOOD LUCK!
