Just about everything under the sun has virtual equivalents that can be bought in Second Life. There's clothing, furniture, houses, vehicles, and gadgets (like animation overrides) which have no real-world counterpart. Most vendors are small businesses that appreciate your support: other Residents like you.

Inworld

1. Find a store. For example, enter a term like "jewelry" in the upper-right search bar, then press Enter ↵.
   • You can click the Classifieds tab to only show Resident ads that include that keyword.
2. Click a listing that interests you, then click the Teleport button to go to the store.
3. When you find something to buy, you can usually right-click the object and Buy or Pay it.

• In many cases, purchased items arrive in a box that must be unpacked. Don't wear the box; instead, follow the Opening boxes instructions.
