The teen grid is tied into the Lindex Market and maybe...

If the teen grid is tied in with our same market and if that is the case could that be some of the problem too?
If it is, I do not see why two totally different "worlds" should control one market. What goes on in their community, economics wise has to be vastly different than our economy on the main grid.
I understand they are limited on how much can be bought, but if they too, are dumping money mommy and daddy have helped them require into the market at some of these high prices we're seeing, it's bound to play hell on it.
Just a thought, maybe I'm wrong. Most likely I'm wrong, but just a thought I havent seen covered as of yet.

*beats head against desk, goes back for more caffeine*

well I got one thing to say about teens and our market.

they live at home supported byt their parents, therefor the money being sold might not be as important to them what price to sell it at, they arent suporrting themselves in RL. I have to agree that the teen market and the adult market should be separate. we cant go to their grid they cant go to ours, why the share in the forums and the market?

Well Kat I think we're the only two concerned with the teen grid tied into the main market lol

If it is I don't see it getting any better

I think it's a very interesting point, Tink.

Teen Grid Residents will be restricted to:

purchasing no more than US$25 worth of L$ per rolling 30 days
selling/posting no more than US$2000 worth of L$ per rolling 30 days

That could explain alot of things. The Teen grid residents can't purchase more than $25 USD worth of L$ per rolling 30 days yet they can sell up to $2000 USD per rolling 30 days.

I've never visited the Teen grid but I could see how some of the adult merchants might allow their kids to open shop there and ... well, I'm not going to speculate but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the adult merchants were there using their kids' accounts to sell their goods there.

Anyways. All guess work aside, I'd rather the Teen grid and their economy not be part of the adult economy.

March 2006 marks several important milestones in the Teen Grid (TG) timeline, and will be looked back upon as an explosive episode in its history. The TG is a full year old with 10,000 total signups, 40 regions and its first private island. Community, shopping, fascinating landscapes and cityscapes are evolving, driven by the creativity of the teen Residents of Second Life.

They need their own Lindex Market keeping their world in balance and ours too.
