Can I buy mainland parcels directly from Linden Lab instead of from another Resident?

Linden Lab does not usually set land for direct sale on the mainland. However, there are two special cases in which you can obtain mainland parcels from us:

Auctions

We regularly auction off mainland parcels via our website. Auction land sales function differently than regular land sales; for extensive information on Second Life land auctions, check out the Second Life Land Auctions page.

Other Special Cases

In some special cases, we may sell abandoned mainland parcels to individual Residents. Please see the Abandoned Land FAQ for more information. That's it! Remember that you can buy land from your fellow Residents, and if you want a whole Region to yourself, you can buy a Private Region from our Land Store.
