Do you know how Market Sell vs. Limit Sell differs? If you don’t, you’re losing money every time you cash out your Lindens. I discovered back in 2007 after selling Lindens a few times, that I could set a better rate than what’s offered by default on the Linden Dollar Exchange.
First, go to L$ Exchange Settings in your SecondLife.com dashboard and change the Interface Mode from Basic -> to Advanced.
Then go to the Sell L$ page and look at the Open Sell Orders at the Best 20 Rates, and decide what Exchange Rate you want to sell at. I typically sell at L$248/$1.00US (sells almost instantly, if there’s less than a million Lindens listed already), or some people sell at L$247/$1.00US and the wait may be a few hours to a few days. Any exchange rate higher than the usual lowest rate or not listed there, will sell instantly.
For example, in the picture below, you’ll see that there’s L$330,736 listed for the L$253/US$100 rate, and that person could have listed for $248 and sell instantly, but for some reason they didn’t (and losing money in the process).
As a seller, you want to exchange the least number of Lindens for $1USD. The same concept can be applied to Buy orders, except in the reverse. You’d want the most Lindens for your $1USD if you’re buying.
Here’s an example of how much money you’d lose selling at Market Sell (the rate determined by the Linden Dollar Exchange vs. Limit Sell (the rate set by you).
$10,000L @ Market Sell = $37.51US proceeds
$10,000L @ Limit Sell = $38.87US proceeds
Difference = $1.36US
That’s not much of a difference, but what if you’re selling hundreds or thousands of Lindens per month?
$80,000L @ Market Sell = $300.00US proceeds
$80,000L @ Limit Sell = $310.89US proceeds
Difference = $10.89US
Think of how much money you could be losing (or gaining) if you used Limit Sell to your advantage!

hi anon! I play with my shape a lot, depending on which skin I use. So there’s about a billion variations, so it’s not for sale. But I will say this, Darling is based off of my shape, and she’s also one of my favorites. I would totally recommend it if you like the following skin designers — Minnu, Gala, RaC, they *ALL* look good on Darling. As always, I totally recommend tweaking your shape for each.and.every.skin. It sounds like a pain, but it’s totally painless and usually involve 1-2 minor tweaks 😛
What I’d love to know is the hair on the darling AV… ^_-
Hey Gogo! A friend of mine referred me to your site & your Juicy store. Awesome site & shoes, btw! Anyways, I saw this post (& I know it’s been awhile since you’ve posted this) but I was wondering… I clicked on the link you provided to take me to the shop where you sell your shapes but for some reason I always end up at your shoe store. Do you still have your shape store? Could I please get an SLurl? Thank you!
