LOL - I love that story :))

Funny thing is that after I heard it I actually checked to see if we had an interior trunk-release lever. I'm glad to report that we do & it glows in the dark!

Thanks everyone! She's settling in nicely, curious about things but not too pushy.

Our poodle (who is 9, grew up with our last German Shepherd and therefore is not impressed at all by them) has already already managed to steal all of Lacy's toys. We're going to have to work on that.

Meet Lacy, she's 7 months old and the latest addition to my RL family. If you don't see me around as often, now you know why :))

Roleplay Currency System - to date


General Discussion

Here is some information about the Duch de Coeur - RP$ Economic Basics and the Duch de Coeur - Becoming a RP$ Merchant .

As I say, it's a fascination subject. One of the things I have found is that you really have to devote a lot (and I mean a lot) of time to fostering a RP$ Economy. Because of that I find it progresses a bit slowly.

There has been some talk about linking different economies together i.e. Versailles and the Duch de Coeur but so far we really haven't pursued it much.

Let's hope that this thread stimulates some discussion :))

O Tesso Casa Comercial Real de Lisboa - Trading in second-hand Court goods

On the other hand *coming back to my point of permissions on a product* Who cares? Without biting the tail too long; this is one of those things a merchant should think about before opening a shop.

Yes, I agree that merchants should think about this before opening a shop, I know I did. But I do pity the poor souls that are overwhelmed with becoming a SL merchant and haven't thought to include that in theirbusiness plan.

Here's what I think about setting permissions on items that I sell. Most of my items (every thing except my houses and some garden items) are No Copy/Transfer. This allows me to keep the price lower than if they were Copy. My understanding is that Copy/No Transfer items for things like furniture are3 to 5times the price of items that are No Copy/Transfer. I figure that this is a good deal both for myself and for my customers.

I know that I can trick an item into being No Copy/No Transfer but I think all that I will accomplish is alienating my customers as theyreally don't expect No Copy/No Transfer items.

So withmy strategy, I'm betting the farm on the fact thata resale business is not a viable one. Again, let me state I'm not talking about individuals that have yard sales or people that pass something on to friends on occassion. I'm talking about people who are consistently making a good profit from selling 2nd hand goods. So far this has proven to be the case and I'm guessing it will continue to be that way because that's just how SL works.

LOL Stormy!! So you're one of the poor new merchants I probably bored to tears with my thoughts on reselling. I had forgotten that :))

What you are talking about here is an affiliate program. To make it official you would work out the terms of this business arrangementso that bothyou (the vendor)and the merchant (who I assume is the creator) were satisfied. On first glance, it may seem like a subtlething but it makes a world of difference because both parties are in agreement and would hopefully benefit.

Asking a creator for permission to resell their products which were not purchased directlymay be astep in the right direction. I don't know how many people would think it's a good deal to to lose 100% of their profit for the sake of maybe getting some advertising but at least they can make their own decision.

A RP Economyis indeed fascinating subject. I might suggest that you start a new thread where you can learn more about virtual currency systems etc. I have a number of links I can provide you with regard to the Duch de Coeur implementation and I'm sure Versailles can do the same.
