I did just that last year and logged several months of info. However, Linden Lab no longer puts the info online, so I can no longer use the program. According to data from January 2007, about US$500,000 was spent on item purchases per week, and about US$1,000,000 was spent on gambling per week. It’s true that most transactions are gambling, but they are usually small transactions. And some amount of that goes back to the players as winnings, of course. Apparently, both Xcite and Naughty Designs were each making US$10,000 per week. Other big names like Made Men, X2, Blaze, Hoffman Designs, Nyte’N'Day, BareRose, Shiny Things, and Mischief Designs were making between US$1,000 and US$4,000 per week (profits per store did not vary between weeks). Casinos couldn’t be tracked so easily since their machines have generic names, but I estimated that a top-notch casino could make US$1,000,000 per year (twice as much as Xcite or Naughty Designs) in profit. That estimate may have been off, but the other numbers are dead-on according to what Linden Labs had on that page.

Topic 420 – Bartering Income

Bartering occurs when you exchange goods or services without exchanging money. An example of bartering is a plumber doing repair work for a dentist in exchange for dental services. The fair market value of goods and services exchanged must be included in the income of both parties.

Income from bartering is taxable in the year in which you receive the goods or services. Generally, you report this income on Form 1040, Schedule C (PDF), Profit or Loss from Business. If you failed to report bartering income on returns you have already filed, you should correct this by filing an amended return, Form 1040X (PDF), for each year involved. For information on amended returns, refer to Topic 308.

A barter exchange is any person or organization with members or clients that contract with each other (or with the barter exchange) to jointly trade or barter property or services. The term does not include arrangements that provide solely for the informal exchange of similar services on a noncommercial basis.

The Internet has provided a medium for new growth in the bartering exchange industry. This growth prompts the following reminder: Barter exchanges are required to file Form 1099–B for all transactions unless certain exceptions are met. Refer to Barter Exchanges for additional information on this subject.

If you are in a business or trade, you may deduct any costs you incurred to perform the work that was bartered. If you exchanged property or services through a barter exchange, you should receive a Form 1099-B (PDF), Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions. The Form 1099–B or other statement generally will show the value of any cash, property, services, credits, or scrip you received from the exchange during the year. The IRS will also receive the same information.

If you receive income from bartering, you may be required to make estimated tax payments. Refer to Topic 355 for additional information.

Additional examples of bartering, and information on how to report the income, are described in Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.

Remember in the old days, a year ago or so, the Lindens used to run on the front page, “Last 10 transactions inworld” — it was a big featured deal then, over on the right hand side. I used to refresh the page, and see how it worked. If I took my rental boxes and paid $1000 into them, which was a payment to myself, sure enough, there it would be, “Ravenglass Rentals in Alston $1000″ appearing as a transaction — which was merely paying myself. If I sold land to myself for $1 to move it out of a group, that would show up, too.

This column reflected objects/things purchased but not payments to avatars. If I took money from one avatar and sent it to my alt, then put it back to the main, that might show up in the overall transaction numbers, but not those ones showing purchases.

More to the point, as you could witness from long observation, most of the payments were in gambling, and what wasn’t gambling was “tip jars for dancers” *cough*.

I don’t know why the Lindens took that stream down; it went down as the same time they removed the “leader boards” (remember those?). And for some wierd reason, they parked that code on the newbies’ password page — a place where it would not really be seen and understood, but just kind of “parked”.

I can’t even be sure that code is still hooked up right and recording current live transactions.

The question also to ask is about these 58 richest avatars and in general, the top businesses. Land businesses are removed completely (as I ranted over in the thread about first land). So…now…what’s left? What are people selling? And the answer is, most of it is sex and gambling.
