How about a 'royalties' option on creations you sell with 'copy + transfer' option?
If royalties option selected, 10% of the price of any item sold on by susequent owners would come back to creator. So if subsequent owner gives away as freebie, royalty payment = zero. This would not be a pyramid scheme as royalties would only go to original creator, and only if object is no-modify.

I like this idea. Very interesting. I could go to all my favorite shops, purchase the best of the best, set up a side store, and make a killing!

I would, however, do that all under an alt of course...lol. :)

Only if you or your alt had created the best of the best in th first place! In my suggestion all the royalties go direct to the creator, and only on non-mod items.

It's a good idea IMO, but it shuld be more than 10%.

> 24%
< 51%

somewhere in there.

This would allow us to "garage sale" good stuff and pick up a few Ls, yet still credit & reward the builder.
