I don't understand how the limits work. Linden will not let me buy more Linden Dollars, even though my credit card is fine.....can someone explain this to me? I read through the Linden "rolling account information," and I don't understand. Thanks!

I believe it's something like you can only buy $150 worth of Lindens in your first month or 45 days.

Hi, Rockwell,

I tried to send you an email, but I received a message stating that you do not wish to receive emails.

When you say in-world, I'm not sure if you mean SL world, or Real world.

Send me an IM - I'm not online right now (at work in RL), but will respond at 3pm SL time, when I get off work.

If you need the funds immediately I have up to 50K that I can sell, I'm in world at the moment so you could reach me there or by private message:D

Dee,

Simple Answer...

- go open an SL Exchange account.
- deposit US$ there.
- Buy as many L$ as you want thru SL Exchange which is not limited by Linden limits (done it myself).
- withdraw the L$ in world, from an SL Exchange terminal.

oh... and i forgot to mention that you get a better exchange rate buying from SLX than you do buying from Lindex.

Thanks to all of you for your responses. It seems that all of these things will work, and now I am off to find the best exchange rate!

SL Exchange honors the $150.00 Linden buying limit for the first 45 days in SL. I gamed it a bit buying $150.00 on the Lindex and then getting another $150.00 from SL Exchange. Once I hit the $150.00 limit with SL Exchange they held my remaining US dollars as unusable. They held my funds as unusable for 14 days until my first 45 days was up.

It's better than a market buy on the LindeX, but a limit buy will yield L$276/$1.
