Permissions for having an "agent" sell my creations

Hi,

I have some artwork that I am going to get someone to sell in their club for a cut of the sale. My art is no copy/no mod/transfer. Now if I give the art to him so that he can hang it where he likes in his building, and someone buys a picture, who gets the money, me (the creator) or him (the owner)? It's the new owner, right?

So is the answer that I can't give the pictures to him and have to hang them in his building myself so that I remain the owner until the item is purchased?

I just don't want to make a stoopid mistake by accident.

Or do I do this:
- Put a copy of the artwork inside itself
- Make the inner art no copy/no mod/transfer
- make the outer art no copy/no mod/transfer and sell the contents.

That way if I give the outer box to the club owner, he can hang it in his club, but when he sells things (i.e. the contents) then I get the money as I am still the owner of the contents. Is that right?

Do NOT give it to him. You want to own the box, as it is the owner of the prim that is paid who gets the money. Make it a vendor, which sells a copy contained within it. He can host it on his land, but you rez it in-world and position it.

There are simple vendor scripts that can be set to do this, and which can even split the profits of each sale with the host.

Example. I sell textures at Textures-R-Us. I own all 65 of my one-prim texture bundle vendors. I rezzed them in the store, and I position them myself, or trusted staff members that I have given mod rights to can move them around for me. Move them - not take them into inventory and re-rez them. The script in them pays me, as owner of the script and prim, and then sends a cut of the profits, defined in the script, to the store owner, who is udentified by her UUID Key.

If you give an object to another person they own it INCLUDING its contents.

Thanks for the clarifications. I don't really need a box at all then. It sounds like I need to put the pics where he wants them, and I might consider one of these scripts that will split the sale price automatically. Ceera, can I get in touch with you in-world for help with this?

Sure. Send me an IM in-world, and I'll see if I can simplify one of the profit-split vending scripts that I have so it will work easily for you. I'm in-world most weekday evenings, between about 6 and 10, US Central time.

The script that I have probably does too much for your needs, but it will sell a copy of whatever is in the prim, except for the script itself. So if you had a texture and a prim and a notecard and a landmark all in the vendor, along with the script, the customer would be given a folder containing those items, minus the script, and you and your partner get a split of the profits. The folder gets the same name as the prim had.

The script I have also sends you an IM, and I think it sends an IM to your partner too, with each sale. I'll have to examine the script to determine what else it does.

Thanks to everyone who helped out - I have a good script working now.

with the profit split script can it be used to pay money to a group or just a nominated individual ? can the split be set so that I receive 0% and the group receives 100% ? And finally, can it be placed inside a sale sign which sells a copy of the original item together with a notecard and landmark ?

TY for any help on this
