Paid folr an avatar, got an object?

I bought an avatar in a store. Before purchase, I right'clicked, Edit, Contents, and it listed several items - body shape, eyes, hair, etc. So I bought it. All that showed up in my Inventory was an object called "the avatar's name) Body Doubles Shape no copy"

No shapes or anything else in my inventory.

Did a miss something in the buying process?

It sounds like you have a box that contains all those objects. Place the box on the ground and open it. Everything should be inside of it.

Maybe its a boxed product... try wearing it... if its a package, drop it and open it.

EDIT: oops, you beat me to it

That worked, kind of. I was dragging the object onto my avatar, ended up wearing the sign from the shop.

I did unpack it, and selected "Copy to inventory and wear" expecting to look just like the avatar in the ad. All that changed was my shape. There was a notecard that said they had tips for how to get the look from the ad, but I can't find that, yet.

Thanks all for the help.

Search "Worn" and see if you can find the folder the shape is in- it should have the rest of your items and the notecard =)

I found the instructions. It's all links to other vendors who sell the hair, eyes, shirt, pants, skin. etc.

Another lesson learned - the cost of higher education is indeed going up...lol

LOL! Actually, that's a good idea. I am constantly asked where I got the shoes/hair that I wear in my clothes pics. I had one woman frantically IM me the day of her SL wedding, wanting to know where I had gotten a particular braided hair. I had to run through my shop to find which pic she was talking about, LOL.

You're funny Oryx. Nice to see you around, as always.
