How to sell pics?

[LaikenCitara]

Hey,

Would someone be able to quickly explain step-by-step how to privately sell pics to other users?

I run a personal business and I recently expanded to selling photos.

I know there are tutorials and stuff out there but I've been seeing all different ways, so I would appreciate a clear explanation!

Thank you!

You've been seeing all different ways because there are loads of ways to sell things.

• The absolute easiest way to sell a photo is to put it on the face of a flat prim, set permissions on the prim to either Mod/Trans or Mod/Copy, and then set the object for sale at your chosen price. (Select it with your Build/Edit tool and then select "On Click BUY".  Set a price and select Sell Copy.  See https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-objects/ta-p/700143
• You might also box the mounted photo and either sell the box or its contents, following the same procedure.
• You might build or purchase a scripted vendor to put on the wall in an in-world shop.  There are many different designs, with various options.  You'd have to follow the directions for whatever product you decided to buy.
• You might decide to sell your photos in Marketplace, in which case you'd simply follow standard directions for listing them >>> https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700193#Section_.4

I have a set of my own screenshots from online gaming(very high end pc), mostly vehicles etc. Now I wanted to set them all for sale inside a rotating picture prim. I found that only a friend or group user could purchase the picture, all the others didn't see an option to open the prim to buy single contents and no sale option displayed using the edit/content tab.

Do I need to locate a texture vendor? So far all I have found is expensive vendors that limit the amount of textures for sale so you need to buy more vendors, I'm not doing that.

 

Any ideas?

Cheers

Yes, if you are going to put several items into a prim and let buyers choose among them, you need to script the prim as a multi-item vendor.  The script will ideally let you set a different price for each item and will let the buyer see what she is choosing before she agrees to pay for it.  I don't know what you consider expensive, but you ought to be able to find a multi-vendor off the shelf for L$1000 or less.  If you want a scripter to write a custom one for you, the price will be higher and will depend on how many bells and whistles you want.  Once you have the script, of course, you can use it over and over again to build yourself a mansion full of vendor objects.

Cheers,

I just logged into my page and remembered this question. I have a nice texture vendor now, but no time for SL due to University and my old-man attitude to listening lol.

Thank you for your reply
