52K USD in object sales week of 7/17

This might be just a statistical outlier, but is a 100% growth in just two months. On an annualized basis, that is 2.600 million USD dollars worth of content sold.

Who do YOU think is getting rich in SL?

Keep this growth up for the next year and in one year on an annualized basis, we'll have 173, 056 USD million worth of content sold in SL.

Ok, that's a little fantastic, but HELL I thought 52K in one WEEK was fantastic.

And that doesn't include all the other data..

you're right. It really is THAT slow today.

Slow?

This is absolutely freaking INCREDIBLE news. Gaddzooks.

Do The Math.

Anshe is making 100K per year - that's nothing compared to what's really happening.

Our economy is selling 2.5 million dollars worth of content on an annualized basis. And that's not including SLExchange / SLBoutique (I think, unless that accounts for the big jump).

That's all PURE PROFIT. This is intellectual capital people are selling. ZERO COST of goods sold.

This money is going straight into residents pockets.

Lemme guess, you believe guys who say they won't emit in your mouth, too?

Well, I sell content, so I do fully believe these numbers, yes.

I can easily compare how much content I'm selling versus how much I've seen in the catalogues of SLB and SLX, plus I can see what's showing up in popular versus my content.

I know how much money I make and I have a pretty good idea what percentile I'm in.

It's not too hard to figure out that a lot of money is being made on content.

Only if that kinda news gives you a hardon. To me, it's boring non-news!

Incidentally, you should really think out your posts in advance too. That's like 3 times you've edited it since I first posted. Tip: Engage brain before mouth/fingers. That way you only hafta type it the once and generally come off so much less stoopid; ya know, like you'd actually thought out something you wanted to say? It's also irritating, because the post I replied to was nothing like the one that's there now, and then you respond to me as if I've dismissed a whole bunch of stuff that wasnt there when I replied.

But then that's the sort of thing we've come to expect from you, isnt it? But then it's not like you have any credibility anyway since you insist on hiding behind alts you play off against one another with intent to incite and then gleefully boast about it. All of which makes me wonder why I even bother to troll your threads at all. Pfft.

heh heh heh

Yeah, I like to edit myself a lot. and yes, I am pretty stupid.

I took an IQ test the other day, scored really really low.

Dude, it's possible to have a MENSA qualifying IQ and still act like a retarded moron

Slippery slope here. Now we must spin off into who really would be the moron in your scenerio.

I'm getting rich. Close to buying a BMW 5 series thanks to SL.

(Used, of course)

Thank you, customers!!!

Yuk yuk you read my mind.

"retarded moron" is almost as redundant as "stupid idiot". And twice as true.

I can never easily find a link to the economic stats. Can someone provide a link? Time I just bookmarked it.

Thanks.

Well I DID have to furnish that large Spanish mansion we just put down in Cecropia.

Oh and BTW blaze....good on you for the response to the insulting post. *wink*

Right. Working 3 months on an avatar, staying up till 4am, thats just... free! Me and my golden time machine, haha, tis such a wonderful device! You might have seen it featured in 'Napoleon Dynamite'. My design! Indeed!

And the fact that I have teams of unpaid orphans doing texturing work sure does help as well.

These creations, you know, we just toss them together, my good man. Nary a drop in the bucket; far be it from me to be distracted -too- very long from sailboat races and golfing in the Hamptons!

Everyone knows that us content creators don't put forth any real effort. Slap a few prims together, ah, write a little doolally of a script and off you go!

Oh and you know, tier doesn't cost anything... See, I'm FIC, I don't pay anything for my 2 sims. I get that for free, completely free and clear, because I "joined in 2003".

Hell, they said I could have 8, but I just said, "Pshaw, good fellow! Who _would_ mow the acerage? I'd have to hire at -least- twelve immigrants for that!"

I then laughed haughtily and threw back a Cosmopolitan.

I also get a complimentary bum polishing twice a week from Concierge.

It includes candy.

Please excuse me, I have to go observe my manservant Jamison wax the Bentley that I bought purely with L$ gained by stepping on the wretched spines of newbies.

Chortle and guffaw, I do say! Tut tut!

I'm not really sensing a lot of excitement here.

You perv!

Uh... that was a euphemism, right?

I always said there are content baron make almost as much as I do. But they fly below radar because they don't want be exposed to jealousy.

SL Exchange does not report its sales figures to Linden Lab so unless they have started tracking deposits and withdrawals at our terminals as object sales (which would be a very skewed report indeed), I doubt that is the reason for it. I think it is more a result of the promotions Linden Lab has been doing.

On another note, SL Exchange has also experienced a very large surge in sales recently so it appears that this is an across-the-board phenomenon and not just a data abnormality.

For the record, I'm not jealous of you. But I do dislike you. Why? Because you are snotty to people and because you do not reply to inquiries sent to you that you requested, and because you use dishonest tactics and actively malicious methods to inflate and aggrandize yourself at the expense of others.

I couldn't possibly care less what you make. In my opinion, you are a cruel and thoughtless individual and for that and that alone, I dislike you.

Wow where'd that come from

Incited by yet another of your ridiculous posts.

You know for a west coaster, you're a pretty angry person Weedy
