Auctioning Off My Illegitimate Spawn At BidSL

Love for sale to highest bidder
by Onder Skall, former Unicorn daddy
Yesterday at the First Friday technology expo we saw some incredible inventions, but one in particular had the power to change the way we buy and sell things in Second Life. Through BidSL you can put things up for auction quickly and easily, and bidding is fast and fun! For Second Life society at large this is big deal, and could change the way we think about selling things in-world.
For me, I saw it as an opportunity to dump find a loving home for the rape spawn sweet little things that were the product of me stupidly following the latest fad some unfortunate incidents I’d rather not discuss. Let’s just say that mating with unicorns isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, and I thought perhaps people would like baby unicorns without having to do the deed.
The BidSL Auction House (SLurl) is laid out into sections for various types of items, and a handy elevator lets you go upstairs for the adult stuff. Lucky for me I was there early on opening day and got to grab the prime Featured item spot right near the door.
Setting up an auction is easy. Click on the board, say in chat the number of days you want the auction open for, make a payment to the board for L$1 for every day, and ctrl-drag-drop a texture, notecard, and the item in question. Naming conventions make everything work, so check the instructions. You can click the board and hit "clear" to reset, or hit "ready" to start your auction.
Next thing I knew, the babies were up for sale ready to find loving parents. Problem solved! Uh… the problem being finding parents who could love and care for such beautiful creatures. I’m just too busy, that’s all… and… well everybody knows guys wearing horns are notoriously terrible parents! I’m doing this because I want to be rid of the little pests love them!
Do you have some junk you’d like to dump from your inventory for a few Lindens? Swing by the BidSL Auction House in BongSwang (SLurl) or check out the website!

You and many many other idiots who does the same with Yard-sale, on SL Exchange, OnRez, and endless rental spots.

Nacon,
why is it better to delete your unwanted inventory then to try and resell it?

Will you be my UniBabyDaddy?
Nacon: I hear they artificially grow brains now. Science has come a long way. Maybe you should look into it.

Excellent story, Onder! Herald classic! It has everything, illegitimate spawn, unwanted baby unicorns, baby-selling, a new bidding invention, horns — not a chime left unwrung, especially if you say you blew your Ginkos cashout on the bid cost.

Hey Onder, BidSL looks awesome indeed !
Btw, I noticed you’re using SL-Messenger, as you know it’s beta, and I’d love to hear your thoughts about it as I’m sure you might have a lot of ideas to improve it!
Cheers

Correction: “by Onder Skall, former Unincorn MOMMY”.
You got raped by a unicorn and then shat out a couple of baby unicorns. Your parents must be damned proud of you, Onder. Har har har!

Ahh finally someone with reasonable sense to ask such a good question. (Pixeleen, you better be reading this)
Because the more crap kept in SL, the more shitty database it grow. Making SL slower and LL would have to get more damned HDDs for their servers to keep it all up.
However, how does one try to resell an crappy item, so cheap? Having a yard-sale would require a land/parcel, which aren’t free to get. Ad? not free either, 50 L$ a week. One week alone won’t make any sales. You’d have to do something to get people to come over and look at crappy items you’re trying to sell. YOU will end up paying more fee to get your junks out there than trying to gain anything at all. Plus, it’s more safe to buy something from original creator than owner.
However… So many good worthy items are copy/no tran. You’d be wasting your time as much you’re trying to sell people a wooden cube. BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! CYLINDER & SPHERE! Just delete them already.

Yeah… I’m not gonna buy you one, cause you’re gonna put your old brain on eBay.
(Quit being an idiot before your brain become a worthless value.)

Don’t forget the long ass time it takes (and the L10$ fee) to take a snapshot of every single item you’re selling individually for the vendors, unless it’s a prim item you can set out.

If you think a human getting raped by a Unicorn is disturbing then you should see a Pegasus getting raped by a giant spider….now that is just hilariously disturbing!

Sounds like a more deviant version of Pokemon.

Yup, even she knows. She has been in SL almost longer than anyone who post in here.
Sorry if it doesn’t sound so civil, but I’m sure you can tell that I’m fed up with them.
