Painfully nice. Not that it matters - I won't get what I want regardless. ;)

Sorry for hijacking the thread like that :)
I found it all very interesting. Pretty incomprehensible, but interesting just the same.

That is great people are able to find you and all. I think something off with me or just too grumpy because even with endless hours I spend trying to make things numerous uploads,etc to get the items right I am lucky if I ever few months something sales for 50L$.
Few of my friends said charge more but I don't get how charging more instead of 50L charging 300L is going to more people to buy thing.
Anyway I just keep making things but with all this computer breaking down discussion
it makes me hope, wish that computer lives long until I some how come up with the money
for upgrade.
Years ago when I was 16 in 1981 I was allowed briefly to join probably what is now very archaic now graphic arts program but circumstances didn't allow me to finish my degree.
I have always wondered what it would been like to finish but now at 44 I am too ill.
I will keep making things regardless if anyone buys from me as long my computer stays alive. LOL
Anyway I still haven't slept I am going to bed.
Hope everyone finds the inspiration to do something very pleasant, very creative and tons of fun while I sleep, please though don't cover me up with hundreds of prims because I don't want to my dreamland or wake up laggy:)
I think your stuff is probably way more interesting than mine; that might mean it appeals to less people. It might be true that raising your prices won't cause more people to buy - although it might, people tend to assume that more expensive stuff is more desirable. But with higher prices you would make more money on the same amount of sales. If I sell a lot of something I raise the price gradually, if no one buys something I lower it a bit. None of my stuff is a major purchase.
One thing I'm pretty sure of is that the more goods you have on display the more likely people are to decide to choose something to buy.
By the way you know you can upload test textures to the beta grid for free, right?
There were turning points in my life that I wonder about now. Opportunities that might have made quite a difference if I'd been able to take advantage of them. Oh well.
Sleep well dear FD.

Why is that kitteh chained? :eek:

For some it is a feeling of belonging; being owned imeans being wanted or chosen. For others it's a loss of control that allows them the freedom to feel these things that have been labeled taboo and drilled into them while growing up that it is bad. Some people consider it jewlery or just think it looks cool. I'm not sure. You'll have to ask Love about that.

Seaking of Hijacking, this was posted across the street, the email scammers have ramped it up.

http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/zomgwtfbbqgtfololcats/21374-since-when-do-spammers-threaten.html

I was in tears reading it, it's one of the funniest things I've seen.
! Life threatening spam - even comically poorly done life threatening spam, is a bit beyond just annoying.



From: FD Spark
It might be even funnier if they sent email to someone who was sucidal but lazy
and wrote them back asking them to come visit...or maybe not.
It made ME laugh.

It makes a great story now, although I imagine it was awful at the time. Telling upset people to calm down just doesn't work.
When my step daughters were teenagers one of them had a bad toothache (like there's any other kind). Our dentist refused to do whatever it was needed doing because he said it needed a specialist. The insurance company didn't want to pay for a specialist; they claimed doing it was part of their deal with the dentist. I claimed that the insurance company had given me the name of the dentist in the first place and part of their deal with me was making sure my child's pain was fixed, stat. After a bunch of back and forth the (I assume very young) woman on the phone actually told me I needed calm down. Hey have you ever had a toothache? Have you ever had a child in pain?
I told her she needed to put her boss on the phone, which she did and things were soon straightened out.

Doesn't it take forever and a day to get them to get the money to you?)

Nope, just a couple of days. You do have a PayPal acct? If so, just sell some L$, then Process Credit out to your PayPal account, which should be attached to a debit card or your bank account. PayPal will then transfer the USD to your account. Quick and easy. :)

Welcome to the last refuge of the damned Dilbert, or something like it...

Damien will take your soul and hat, please find a comfy spot against the wall to hang.

Meals will be provided by Mo as a form of torment (you can't really eat them regardless of how delicious they look!!!).
Ann will torment you with her body,
And there will be Lolcatz to while away the aeons that pass.

Muhahahaha!

And swatting at the ornaments, and getting tangled in the light wires, and coughing up hairballs with tinsel in them... :p
