Selling no copy items

I was wondering is it against the rules to put tiems up for sale that u didnt make, as long as they are "no copy"? I mean actually dropping thwm and marking them for sale.

Well it's called a yard sale in SL and if you search for them you will see a few.

Depends. Where did you get them? If you bought them and they are transferrable then I think it's OK to resell, unless perhaps the original creator asks otherwise. But if it is a freebie, it is considered bad form to resell it.

and of course i mean the original only not selling someones work over and over but something u have no use for but paid alot for it

Not at all. As long as they were obtained legaly and you are not trying to pass it off as your own work. Resell anything you want.

Well I think it depends the original seller too. I can imagine that a designer would not like it very if someone would sell their items for example far overpriced, as it could give their brand an entirely wrong image. They didn't come up with a price out of the blue.

As for myself, I would just want to make a good agreement with a reseller. I would not want them to ask more as I do, so I would just give them a discount. At the moment I have quite a few affiliate vendors out where the resellers get 50% margin. If someone would rather put out the furniture itself for display, I would offer a likewise system, so they can sell my stuff at the same price as I do and make a good buck out of it

The permission system was created for a reason.

if its is Tran OK then Sell it at ANY price you want.

You can not break laws in SL the CODE is LAW and the CODE says you can tran, then you can!

Well as far as I know, no one said that you can't, but the fact that it is tchnically possible doesn't make it right. As I tried to explain from the viewpoint of the original creator, there are situations in which it is not very much appreciated. Neither from the customer in fact.

Imagine you buy 20 of my low prim chairs at 149 linden. They are transferable, so you put them up for 500 linden each. This would result in 2 things:
- As the creator I would be not pleased, as it could very well give my product the image of being way overpriced.
- Any buyer would be very unpleased when they show up in my shop and see their chair for less then a third of the price.

So if you want to resell my products, the best way would be to contact me, so we can come to an agreement where both parties are happy.

Why do I sell transfer products then? Simply because I want people to be able to give away the items they do not use anymore, or even sell them at a yardsale or so. In my inventory I have got many expensive items that I do not use anymore, but cannot give away or resell, and that sucks. But that is quite different then reselling for a higher price, which does happen as well (though not with my products so far ).

Greetings, Marcel

I have to respectfully disagree with you. If you enable your products as Transfer / RESELL by checking that box then if someone wants to clear out their inventory and make a profit to boot then they can. Good luck to them I say!

If they buy 20 of your products and sell them for more..and they actually sell, well to be fair you may have your pricing structure wrong.

A lot of places sell wholesale as NO copy but YES Transfer / RESELL and the person purchasing the wholesale stock buys at a discount but in bulk. So really if someone comes and buys 20 of your chairs at no discount from your prices..then kudos to you!

If we start talking about selling freebies for profit well then that sucks

I don't get it Tiana. First you say that reselling a product against a sellers wishes is good.. you even wish them luck and then you say that reselling a product against a seller wishes is bad... or 'sucks' in your terms...

Whoa...

I did not say it was "good" I said that basically there is nothing that can be done to stop it as permission had been given and I don't see anything wrong in someone clearing out their inventory of Trans items and if they make a profit to boot then yes good luck to them!

I then discussed the analogy that the previous poster described when he went on to speak of a customer buying 20 of his chairs.

I then made a point of saying selling FREEBIES does suck. If someone picks up an item that was offered to the community as a generous freebie then resells that..then yes that sucks. Thats all I was saying

Ohhh my bad...
