Congratulations on your build!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ In order for you to selling it, firstly make sure that the item is copy and modify, be sure to disable transfer. This way the new owner can repair any mishaps they may come across or at least replace it when it goes missing. Note: The house should have an 'Auto Rezzer' to simplify setting up the build, in some cases I have found it easier for buyer to use when there are a lot of prims involved. Next create a box (prim) and copy the item into the contents, tag the box as 'buy item' then insert the amount you wish to sell it for. Also tick the box marked 'Available in search' this sometime works in game too. Then list your item in the classified section of this forum. Best option though (if you don't have a store in world) is to obtain the 'Magic Box' from SLexchange (FREE) and place your item in that, take some photos of your item in world and save to your hard-drive. Then return to the SLexchange websire and follow the procedures there for adding your item, remember to edit the pictures to either a GIF or JPG format before uploading them. You can then have your product available to both inworld buyers and to those that use the website for their purchases. I hope this helps you in some ways. |

I'm new to this too, but I'm in about your situation. I'll tell you the little I know, and what was recommended to me.
1. Vendors. There are free scripts out there, or take a look in the Script Library on these forums. What you want is a "giver" script or a vendor script. Something that you put in your box along with your item, to take payment and give the item in return. 2. The vendor should be more presentable than a plain plywood cube. A more typical vendor will be a flat picture, with an image of the product on the front. 3. Holovendors. For large, primmy items, it's nice to be able to rez a sample on demand. One house vendor I visited had a device that rezzed a scale model of the house that you could cam through. 4. Rez Faux (also called "Rez Foo" . A device that enables you to package large objects, too big to save as a single linkset. The user can then rez the "pieces" in perfect alignment.5. Third party websites. If you don't want to buy land or rent a store, you can sell your stuff on SL Exchange and/or OnRez. You will still need a small bit of land on which to rez the in-world link (SLX calls theirs the "magic box". I don't know what OnRez calls theirs). _____________________

Since your question has already been answered... I really wonder what drugs you took when registering your name
