A poll for the Shoppers out there - Transfer or no transfer?

I also hate no-mod wearable items because you can't resize them.

BINGO!



Exactly.

Necropost alert!!

It's a checkbox, not making a whole other object. It's not that much of a hassle.

no copy/no mod/no transfer

It's space and an extra prim in your shop

Are you kidding? Shop owners get heart attacks if they know you're selling anything you've purchased from them as they actually think what they sold you still belongs to them. As unbelievable and idiotic, moronic and stupid as this seems it's all too true. Hence, messages in shops warning you not to sell their stuff after you've paid for it as well as no transfer, no mod, no copy items.

that is why I do not sell my clothes with copy enabled, because it would involve another prim for each item (doubling my prim count for items being sold) OR setting up a vendor, that has all the items in it with the other set of permissions, that folks would then have to cycle through to find the item

if someone wants a mod/copy no xfer item from me, all they have to do is buy the item, contact me, send me the item, and I send them back the item with the changed permissions.

not hard to do

Too bad for them. If they don't want me to sell it, then they should make it no-xfer. Of course, then I can copy it. If they don't want me to copy it, then they should make it no-copy, and then I can sell it. If they don't like those two options, they should get a life.

(Of course, there are businesses where they have to sell things copy/xfer, like textures, where license agreements are necessary. But for ordinary, end-user merchandise, sorry charlie, once you sell it you no longer own it.)

I don't buy things that are no mod.

Don't care if they are copy or transfer or not, but I want to be able to change them if I need to. The script can be no mod.

I wonder why the poll doesn't ask about modify?

So you want Mod AND Transfer rights... but what if you make a mistake while modding and render the item useless? Now you need a copy.... but if they give you Copy and Transfer rights then there's nothing to prevent you from selling (or giving away) as many copies of their work as you want.

So builders generally have to choose either copy or trans, if they give both they might as well just give everything away. And for most things sold in SL, the Copy permission is much more useful then Transfer.

These people finding malicious reasons behind people's permission choices are just silly.

And no, I didn't vote for the same reason other's have mentioned, I didn't like either of the choices given.

Evidently I don't get out enough: other than textures and certain animations sold specifically for furniture makers, I don't think I've ever encountered a warning not to resell objects sold to me with transfer permissions. Does this happen for other products, too?

I sell things copy/mod/notrans cos that's what I like to buy. I like giving people the most perms possible, and mod/no-copy means they could mess up their only one. Last time I sold something transfer I got IM'd about someone reselling it second-hand. Which doesn't bother me, but I can't quite face getting more IMs about someone selling *one copy* of a Transfer item. Some people get upset about that, I realise, but if it's only the one then what's the big problem?

I never buy no mod things but anyway if you let transfer then dont let copy as they will ressel or if you put copy then dont let transfer

the only thing i've ever really needed to modify was wearable items like belts and skirts. i can't imagine why someone would expect anything else to be modifiable. shoes are a seperate category. some i bought just won't fit no matter what size foot i have, so i just won't ever buy from that store again. most shoes do not need to be modifiable.

Male shoes are the worse made items in all the clothing made. You definitely need mod here and even then at times it does no good. I've brought and then have deleted more pair of shoes, sneakers and boots then I want to remember due to the clown size shoes or tiny, tiny ones offered all the time in sl.

As far as whey anyone would want anything mod in sl, you haven't been reading, 3Ring.
Pants coming in too tight Shirt, sweaters with sleeves too long where they're halfway down your hands. Items like furniture too small or too large that won't fit where you want them set.
Remember, that not everyone knows how to make good sized clothing or items. And there are a lot of badly made items to begin with and having the right to mod you can adjust them many times.

You gamble each time you buy something non mod as if there's something wrong you can't do anything to fix it most of the times.

re: transfer/copy..... i buy both. if it's non-transferrable/copy, i enjoy it for what it is and don't worry about losing. if it's no copy (like a pet), i feel nervous rezzing it because i have lost things to the SL afterlife several times, and there is no recovering it, so in general i prefer copy/no transfer.

Transfer for me is nothing. Copy is ok when buying plants, trees and different pcs of furniture or in or out the home. Copy for clothes in needless I think.

i have bought transferrable items just to sell them at yard sales, as income.
