That is a meagre 408 US dollars ? In Europe 305 euro.
Hmm, I think I would SL retire for a while. |

Buy a few ad farms plots and combine them into real land....
or bring world peace, and maybe get some shoes for the noobs. Is this a contest? Did I win? _____________________

Donate it to a worthy cause in SL(maybe education) either in land or something . Save about 5,000L for my shopping issues of course.

I'd cash it out, buy a new graphics card and double my memory. I'm actually surprised I can even run SL sometimes with my computer. Can't upgrade the graphics or memory until after Christmas now.
( That's what happens with kids who expect Santa Claus to come!...lol |

If I had a million Lindens
(If I had a million Lindens) I'd buy you a prefab house (I'd buy you a prefab house) And if I had a million Lindens (If I had a million Lindens) Buy you furniture for your house (Maybe a scripted table or a SexGen bed) If I had a million Lindens (If I had a million Lindens) I'd buy you some new prim hair (Maybe from Tami McCoy or from Mystikal) And if I had a million Lindens (If I had a million Lindens) I'd buy your virtual loo-oo-ooo-ve |

I thought about this a while. the truth is, not much. I'd cash out a little - just so I could say I made a profit on SL. I'd buy the top anti-griefer products and try them out. Otherwise - wait and see.
I guess for me, the money is only secondary. The experience of this place is what matters. |

I would probably just sit on it and spend very little. Lindens are still just play money to me. Play money which I don't just hand to any old stranger (hint hint).

I'd buy one of those over-the-top $50,000L pre-fab houses I see on the slexchange then invite Justin Timberlake over. The other $50,000L I'd spend wooing him. lol

I would invest it into a shop that I am wanting to create, I would buy the land with it and pay tier and the such, also I would use it to cover costs of uploading the items which I want to upload onto SL. I would basically use the money to start shop and share my neko designs hehe

That's enough it could just make a difference, if properly targeted. I think I'd ask Higbee what the SL Parks & Recreation Service could use, to promote recreational and greenspace sites for public use. (See, e.g.,
Of course, if he says he'd just blow it all on cheap hookers, I guess I'd have to script a Park Visitors' HUD myself.  |

Well I am currently building several educational sites devoted to sustainable living, designed to both educate and inspire. I have had land donated, but am spending all my own L$ on buying various stuff I need for the projects - textures, plants, wildlife and so on. So I would use that money to pay myself back as well as support some SL gurus by hiring them to do some custom scripting, textures etc.

Part of the prize for winning a hippo award was 300US$ credited to my account. So to answer the question. Pay my back rent and next months rent too and buy all that stuff I always wanted (that is affordably priced). I'm thinking about going premium again (I haven't been premium for 3 years).
