Inventory Question

I had some hair that I bought but no longer need. I cannot get a refund for it so I gave the hair to someone.

I did not make a copy of the hair so, do I now go in and delete the hair from my inventory?

Most hair is copy/no transfer, so if you were able to pass it on to your friend, it may have been no copy? If so it's gone from your inventory.

If you give a folder of transferable items to someone the folder still remains even though the items transfer. So you can just toss the empty folder.

I am online now and have gone to the folder with the hair and the hair is still there. I even put it on my head.

Does this mean I did not give the hair away?

If you gave it to a friend and it still shows in your inventory, it must be copy and transfer - i.e. you gave your friend a copy, but still keep a copy. You can delete it, but really you can never have too much hair (or shoes). Unless your inventory is bursting at the seams (and if it's not now, it will be), why not hang onto it and give copies to other friends?

Right click on the hair and check the properties. That should tell you if you have a copy/transfer hair. It's hard to believe that's the case unless it was a freebie hair.

As spinster said, if you gave it to a friend, and the got it, and you still have a copy it was copy/transfer.

Odds are good though that it is only copy, meaning it is non-transferable, and the person you gave it to received only an empty folder.

It says I can modify and copy but does not say I can resell or give away. So, I guess I gave this new person a empty folder.

And for the person who says this sounds unusual for hair that has been bought, I paid $L199 for it so it is not a "freebie".

All this only seemed unusual/like a freebie when it appeared that you were able to give your hair away and still keep a copy. The most recent theory (that your friend only received an empty folder) is exactly how most retail hair (and an awful lot of clothing, for that matter) would behave

If the inventory IS bursting at the seams, a storage prim is one possible solution.

In my experience, putting more than 50 or so items in a storage prim slows down both the putting-in process and the putting-back-in-Inventory process. But even at that low rate of prim-filling, I get an 88% reduction in the amount of objects I carry around (and still have those objects, too).

How do you get a storage prim?

Just rez a prim and drag items from your inventory into it. Then, and this is the important bit ... call it something sensible and descriptive so you can find it again. When you are finished take it back into inventory and you can delete your originals.

That's right. May I add: when I came across similar descriptions as a newbie, I tried literally "dragging items into it". And this worked for everything EXCEPT items marked with the Box icon.

What no one had ever seemed to commit to print---I suppose because it seemed obvious to them---is that to move Box-icon-items into a storage prim, you have to open the Edit box for that storage prim and click on the Contents tab. Then you can drag even the Box-icon items into that window.

It wasn't obvious to me, and it took me a while to figure out.

Also------------a reminder that any object at all can serve as a storage prim. I use pillars, and sometimes stools (as they can be useful as well as ornamental). ^_^
