In the last month, thanks to sculpties, I have started selling stuff and been a little successful. I sell geometric-type sculpties that have very sharp edges and smooth faces. My most popular item is 2-prim stairs, but I have recently expanded to gems, jewels, and chamfered cubes, and have just today made 1-prim four-legged tables and chairs. I plan to slowly expand my line, perhaps to include architecture and other sculpted shapes.

So, I offer extremely prim-efficient products that nobody has come close to replicating, because it requires that the sculpt maps be created entirely in photoshop using a few tricks. I am slowly learning more and more, so by the time this method hits the streets, I'll have an edge. However, my advertising only consists of using SLEX and sometimes posting new products in forums.

What are some of the best ways to advertise such products? What are the best malls and services, even if they are pricey (given that they return customers in proportion to cost.)

There are classified ads available from your in-world profile. Also, place listings from your land parcel settings. Also, there's a classifieds section here on the forums.

As for your sculpties, I have them too. Geometric shapes, prim-saving stairs, gems and even a set of gaming dice as shown below. I'll probably make mine freely available when I script the scultpy vendor I have in mind.

Those are some very nice shapes :) Thank you for the suggestion about in-world classifieds; I completely overlooked that, and just put one in.

Of course just geometric shapes and the like wouldn't be special. When I said "very sharp edges" I meant it ;) As in "is that a sculptie, or tortured cubics and prisms linked?"
