Sorry to post that here but I really don't know where else I could make this public and I think it is needed to stop people who make profit of freebies and ripp off newbies. I am talking here about a big business with a huge number of this freebies, not about some boxes as we can find it sometimes at sl. This is a large shop only selling freebies that are most not build by this person and some self designed shoes. Owner: Enktan Gully
Shop: Enkythings
He has taken freebies out of the original boxes (they had been at 20-50 pieces together in one box and had been given away for 0 or 1 linden all together) and he sells now each freebie seperately as single box for 1 linden.
He even sells a firework that has been built by a Linden and that everyone gets from the start into his libary at the inventory for free when he gets SL user.

I talked to him and he told me no designer of those freebies had complained so he will go on doing this. Do we really want people to make profit with other designers freebies that way??? Does noone stop such big business with hundreds of that free items at SL? This person told me even: The succes and growth of the shop made it neccessary to buy an sim wherefor i need to pay US$ 300 a month, and my money orb gives $L 720 away every day so newbies without money are able to buy items. I make no profit out of the store!

Hey sorry I am having also a shop and this guy can't tell me that he doesn't make any profit with his store, even if the items are only 1 linden each, the more they get bought! And he makes his traffic by this! So his profit is his traffic too that he gets by ripping off newbies. By his traffic he gets also some people into his store to buy his shoes. So he makes profit by this too.
We have to stop this!
