Busy Ben’s --the vehicle lot in Oak Grove --just outside the Balance rezzing area-- has long been Second Life’s premiere vehicle dealership – now Ben is offering Residents a chance to hold a two-month lease on a piece of the lot. Ben will allow vehicle dealers to lease individual plots of 32 or 96 square meters, with the larger lots holding up to three vehicles for sale. Each plot will be ready to accommodate a vehicle-friendly 31 prims. These plots count toward your land allotment, but will qualify toward your accrued dwell and all sales you earn are 100 percent yours. A total of 42 new vehicle sales lots will be available, with space available in all five of Busy Ben’s categories: Cars, Boats, Motorcycles, Hoverboards and Flying Craft.
Four large lots of 96 square meters --one in each of the following categories: Cars, Flying Craft, Motorcycles and Boats --will be put to auction. Winners of these plots will be able to place three vehicles on the lot if so desired. To bid on these auctions go here: www.secondlife.com/auctions
38 lots of 32 square meters --six plots each in Motorcycles and Hoverboards, seven in the Boat section, nine in the Car section, and eleven in the Flying Craft section – will be distributed by lottery. Winners in each vehicle category will get to choose their plot in the order of their lottery drawing. Only one lottery entry per Resident is allowed.
All winners (auction and lottery) will be given a two month lease during which they may sell any working vehicle of their own or other Resident's creation. When the lease is up, new auctions and a new lottery will be conducted. Previous parcel winners are permitted to enter again.
Once plots are leased they cannot be sold, only released back to Linden Lab.
The object limits in Oak Grove will be adjusted so that a 32 square meter sales lot can support one vehicle's prim limit, 31 prims. If your vehicle can't fit on the 32 square meter or 96 square meter lot, you may 'shrink' it down and sell a copy that is full size. Lot holders may choose any SL selling method they wish.
