Hi, sorry if this is a completely noob question, but i've just started here and after an hour of trawling threads i'm a bit fuzzy eyed.
i want to design clothing and sell it - how do i do it? i think i put them in my inventory and mark it as for sale, but how do i let people know what i have? just advertise here? and if they want to buy (or say i want to buy someone else's), how do they do it?
thanks in advance.

Harley,
You might want to consider starting at the free yardsales... the ones that let you use "X" number of prim (usually less than 50), restrict you to about a 10m section and kick you out in a week. This will give you a place to sell your goods.
You can place them in a box or in a vendor (I believe that you will find a few freebie vendors at Yadni's). If in a box, mark it for sale. Do your work to the box BEFORE placing your items inside it. And, while the item is still in inventory, set the permissions on your item before placing in the box. Why the Before thing? If you set the outfit to "No modify", then the box will become no modify. It's not really, but it assumes some of the characteristics of the items inside it. It's simply much easier to work with if you do it first.
Take pictures & upload them. I mean SL Pictures (control-shift-S). play with manipulating the sunlight. For example, Sunrise gives you a direct light shining on you from the east, which can really show off an outfit in a picture. This picture will be what you use to advertise your product (no one wants to buy something, sight unseen). You'll either load it into the vendor or apply it to the aforementioned box as a texture.
Good luck with your business
