There are a couple different ways to find land to acquire in Second Life.
- Click the Search button at the bottom of the Second Life window, then click the Land Sales tab: It shows land other Residents have for sale. You can click the All Types and PG & Mature dropdown menus to look for specific types of land (such as mainland, private regions, or land up for auction), and narrow down your results by price and size too.
- Looking for land on the mainland near you? Open the map (click the Map button at the bottom of the Second Life window) and select the Land for Sale checkbox. Land that's for sale will be highlighted on the map.
- Second Life's Auctions also list land parcels for sale, which sell to the highest bidder. Auction parcels can sell for Linden Dollars (L$) as well as US dollars (USD$).
