Not able to buy objects for sale?

I have had several occasions where someone has built on my land and the set the object to sell at 0 linden, original, full mods, but have not been able to buy the object. More specificly, it goes through the buy window that shows contents, but upon clicking ok the message that I am the owner of said object never pops up. the object is still set to sell and the maker is still the owner, and this happens when other agents try to buy the objects.

My question is, has anyone found a way to get around this and/or a way to reproduce it consistently? since I've seen it with 3 different makers and four people trying to buy them, I'm pretty sure it's not me but cant make it happen consistantly, lol. i've reported it as a bug, but would like to spoonfeed what causes it.

i'm hoping this isn't wide spread and affecting all sales

Maybe the objects are set to sell content of the object rather than the actual object.

This means the object is set to sell a copy of itself, and it will go to your inventory. This happens when the seller wants to sell them consistantly from their shop.

To sell the one thats rezzed, it has to sell the origional. That is the only case in which you get the pop up saying you are now the owner..

There is also selling contents, which sells whatever is inside the object, to you, and it goes into your inventory as a folder..

I have a tutorial on the General tab here. And my full tutorials page here.

found the issue

the problem is that the objects have all been set to buy original, and still there is no tranfer at all, neither a copy of the original or the original itself.

what I've found is going through each of the prims one by one, is there is some odd ball textures in some of the rocks, that don't belong there at all, with no transfer on them, so while the object is set to sell, these mysterious textures have stopped the transfer, go figure.

no body has put them there, but i've seen this issue posted elsewhere before.
