Buying Extra Lindens

My Linden buying limit is $2,500. Today, I decided I wanted to buy a plot of land and need to buy more $L. I submitted a support ticket to LL asking if my limit could be increased for this one time purchase. Since I've never bought $L above my limit, I'm wondering if I did this right, and if LL will allow me to buy above my limit?

good luck getting it raised, I have been waiting 2 years for mine to be raised (and no longer need it now LOL)

check the info on your account page, there is a link there that tells the limits and when they change etc

(I am guessing you mean 2500L not 2500dollars, because 2500 dollars is a heck of a lot of money for land heh)

That is 2,500 Lindens. I wish I had 2,500 US dollars in my account.

Filing a ticket was the correct thing to do, but I suspect they'll tell you that your Buying Limit IS in US dollars. That is, you can buy up to US$2500-worth of Lindens within a 30 day period. That would be, roughly around L$675,000.

So you should be able to buy the land you want.

Hi TundraFire,
I was looking at the Buy Limits and since you've been a resident since April 2008 (and I guess you've bought L$ more than once or twice since then?) you should easily be able to buy up to USD 2500/month worth of L$ without going through the hassle of asking LL's permission.

If you need the money ASAP, you can try also buying L$ through www.xstreetsl.com (formally known as SLExchange.) You'll have to create an account there.

The purchases here on the Secondlife.com site are instantaneous (in re the ASAP thing).

I'm not making any claims on the rate, as I don't have stats on the differences between the Xstreet site's rate and the Secondlife.com rate. But I don't think speed is an issue.

I wasn't referring to the automatic computerized transactions. I meant that if she needs to have a Linden up her limit, it might take a few days.

Oh, yes; quite true. ^_^

If you've never bought L$ before you have limit now starting the first time you buy and it is now a very tiny amount at first and you have to wait for period of time to get the other limit.
My alt from 2003 never bought L$ until this last year most he was able to
buy was 10 usd in first 30 days then it went up but when FD was first
here I was able to buy around 250 usd first 30 days and then it changed last
year some type.
I swear it use or was after 30 days 5000 usd.

that's right FD, rez day has nothing to do with the limits, it is the day one uses the system to either put money in there or to buy some lindens. (which if memory serves me correctly, to buy from the lindex, one needs to have some money in the US dollars side of the account)

been a LONG time since I purchased lindens on the lindex (or anywhere for that matter)
