Does today being New Year's Day, thus a holiday, qualify this as a Friday thread?

Gotta cut the OP some slack. Ask anyone who's ever owned a Peugeot. (

Possibly. I think in New Zealand it is already Friday.

OP, if this is estate land - if you can't bring up the money to buy it, how do you want to bring up the tier fees?

If it is mainland - if you can't purchase the L$ needed for that from LL, how are you gonna pay tier?

And if we're just talking about your tier-free 512 sqm that come with being premium... you get weekly stipends. Save some of that. 2,500 isn't that far away.

Edit: Yes, i was too serious in my answer. My bad.

Ah, now I see what we're dealing with. Well, that's what happens when one doesn't budget properly and squanders money on fancy cars before housing expenses.

Sorry pal, it's hard to borrow Lindens right now. You must have missed the big article about the credit crunch that hit Second Life.

But if you're feeling lucky, gambling is back in vogue in Second Life.

A $2500L loan?

That works out to about $9.25 U.S. to purchase $2500L.

If your credit is so bad that you can't get a Mastercard or Visa credit card that has at least a $10.00 limit, then your credit is too poor to get a loan from the bank of me.

Try one of those places that will loan you ten bucks in exchange for the title to your car.

You could... loan ME the L$2500 and I'll see if I can make it disappear.

I find that, most often, those who panhandle for money are:

1) Minors, and shouldn't be on the adult grid in the first place.
2) Con men, and panhandle for a living.

Gotta cut the OP some slack. Ask anyone who's ever owned a Peugeot.

So... the OP can afford to purchase a Peugeot, but wants folks to just give him money for land?

To OP: For L$2500, you are talking roughly $10 US. As many have mentioned -- If you cannot manage that much for purchase, how the hell do you expect to deal with either Primary membership fee (and LL tier if the land is more than 512m) or the Estate rental fee?

There are ways to get your Linden dollars easily within Second Life.

Build your female avatar out of freebies and get into the escorting business. From what I hear, you ought to be able to earn that $2500L in a week.
