Methinks a couple of people got lost on their way to the teen grid.

and like I said b4...its a game, not real life O.o i dont fuckin know im not working LL. fucking chop and sell trees for wood to build? if your talking a real world like the one we live in then ya...why cant we chop and sell trees for wood for builders ( i havnt met ONE person that can summon a chunk of wood outta thin air or with no materials)..mine ore and sell that out of the ground to synthisis in to metals for building, get a real job other then selling your own products, go kill some deer for some meat and sell it...dont sims ever get hungry?? Id love to start a toilet selling business but since the sims dont take pisses and dont poo so cant do that..maybe I could make phones...or wait theres IM..cant do that. I know Ill run for office..wait there is no gov't structure hmmmm running outta ideas here, maybe Ill apply to become a fire man..is there electrical fires in SL?? dont think so scratch that idea. im sure you get my point...I dont see any of these ideas and alot of them money making ideas in SL so dont sit there and say what other ways are there to make money in this world???

actually, the forums could use some plumming

in the end SL is a game, but with alot of possabilities and a RL economy behind it unlike say eve online where u get banned if u want to sell money (reminds me, anyone want to buy 15bil? :rolleyes: )

Thanks for the abuse man! It's too bad that old Monty Python sketch isn't real, because you would be rolling in dough.

See, I've been telling you all its dangerous to refer to SL as a "game." It gives people the wrong idea.

OMG I will NEVER call SL a game again!

And people wonder why I don't want to use voice chat.

Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly...

You're saying you have no marketable products, skills, talents, or abilities...
...and you're asking why the money doesn't come rolling in?

The main difference between Second Life and Real Life is that we have no welfare program.

Get a job.

No i think he just saying that the economy in SL SUCKS!...if you even want to call it economy


So this gist of your argument is that SL's economy sucks because it doesn't bleed out it's metaphorical anus to give money to people who have done nothing to contribute to the economy?

It's all in what you do and how you do it.... Can't make 50 $Lindens a day? Stop trying to run your stores, get a realistic female skin and be prepared to show it.

Nobody owes you a living in RL or Second Life. You can make things and offer them for sale but there is no law telling people they have to buy them! There are thousands of people offering stuff for sale in SL, not to mention all the freebies, many of which are good.

I used to sell quite a few buildings but trade has gone right down recently. It's just one of those things that happens and nobody's to blame.

Even if you speculate in land you can lose as if supply exceeds demand the price goes right down because the big traders incur tier charges n land they can't sell.

As for 'escort' work - I'm a reasonable looking female with nice skin but I've only been offered money for my favours once in 10 months here, and I refused - it was only L$ 50!!!!

Has anyone else noticed that Edy and Smokie seem to be the same person, but that they seem to have forgotten that posting as two people is very confusing, even more confusing if possible than the original post?

I think SL is shit is unfair we all have to waste a lot to do something and in most cases we do 0 yes after I wasted 3000, no nice jobs lot of sex , hippie shit that doesn't work and lot of no good companies that use some piramid system.

After trying to run 3 shops 1 at a time I realised sl sucks offers nothing free all free is useless as we can't sell in sanboxes so we have to waste in uploads , and making pictured boxes as all is low in prims and as we know we all want money but don't want to waste money so SL
is failing.

As last try b4 i kill myself i do I tryed to make a group where we all pay to join and the money goes for renting land for all member of group so they can sell after they build without wasting lindens in rents and uploads to each product.

Please help me to get my goal im very unhappy.

Group: Build and Sell Yard

It's possible and could happen, it's just that it has to exist in the realm of user-created content. Let SL thrive for ten years and I believe it will exist or at least have been done.
