Would gather the information, of the little blue "bussiness sized cards" that appear when someone buys an object from my gallery send it to an object which makes a master list which I can check.. maybe send an email to an address of my choosing when it reaches its limit of memory.

Now to try to make it clear what I am looking for let me explain that I have an Erotic art gallery which I simply add my textures to a single prim set to sale a copy, set the price and hang on the wall of the gallery. When I am online I recieve a blue ...what would you call it...bussiness sized card informing me that "so & so" paid you "x" amount for (objects name) but I have no idea who bought what if I am not online when the object is bought and even if I am online I would have to list the information personally as I would like to keep track of them.

I guess a script I put in each object to record its recieving money and to who it recieved it and when it was recieved to a master list which would be made up of the sales of copies of each my objects in the store would work.. (but am lazy and didn't want to have to go back and add a script to hundreds of display items)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

you can both see your transactions from last month there (no matter if you were online while they happened) ... as well as download the Excel chart version of them.

aye for a single prim set to copy theres no way to track it besides the transaction report (which you can copy and paste or download the spreadsheet if you need a hard copy)

otherwise your looking at a vending machine framework of some type, since your at it forgo e-mail and use HTTP and a database or a flat file on a webserver ... then you can keep automaticly generated statistics (which excel or any other spreadsheet software will do anyways)

I haven't tried this yet, but I've been thinking you could parse the data from the transactions page of SL's website, and track sales this way.

SLFO has done this with the Friends Online information, so I'm sure it could be done...

Yeah, sure you could - I've heard of people doing that already, using VB or whatever to download their statements automatically and add them to a master transaction file. If I actually sold more stuff I'd probably do it myself (not yucky VB though, I'd have something in Perl probably on my server).
