Second Life®'s marketplaces thrive on your ability to sell your unique creations to other residents. Here's how you do it:

1. Right-click the object and choose Edit.
2. Click on the General tab. (Click More if you don't see it.)
3. Select the For Sale checkbox.
4. Enter the appropriate price (in L$) in the box next to For Sale.
5. Click on the method you want to use to sell the object:
   • Original: Sell that exact object. When a resident buys the object, it will stay right where it is and change owners.
   • Copy: Sell a copy of the object. The object will remain where it is, and the purchaser will receive a copy of the object.
   • Contents: Sell the objects, clothing, etc. in the Contents of the object. The purchaser will receive a folder (with the same name as the object) containing a copy of the object's contents (or the contents themselves if they are no-copy).

Tip: Tip: The best way to sell clothing, animations, etc. is to place them in an object and sell its contents. This works great for full outfits and costumes!
