It’s probably the same people who rant about designers who give free gifts.

As someone who work in SL fashion world and knows pretty much the ins and outs of most of the major fashion designers, I have to say that I was really happy with my first fifty linden shopping spree this Friday. The quality of these items are comparable to the big names {gasp} or even better. I got to find some great new designers that I would have never had the chance to find otherwise.

I actually did end up purchasing other items from some of the designers, so I think that throws the whole driving down the economy theory of the water. I am looking forward to the next fifty linden friday.

My 2cents…there are more and more people on SL who are really feeling the recession pinch, loss of income, loss of jobs, becoming ill etc. For them, to be able to be beautfully dressed means alot and to be able to buy quality so inexpensively means even more. The 50L Friday is no different than a sale in RL. So for those who can still shop at the higher end stores great, but for those who no longer can, then BRAVO to the designers/stores who respect those who can’t. Besides, who doesn’t love a sale?

We need a better tin foil hat conspiracy for this one. How about the old “They are all the same person” one?

Why do I suspect this will become something the “can’t create anything but turds” crowd on the commerce forum will begin demanding LL start controlling prices in world like they are behaving like they want to do on xstreet.

I consider myself very fortunate to have been part of 50L Friday a couple of weeks ago, I certainly didn’t feel pressured or exploited by the people who bought the item I offered, and then shopped more at my store while they were there. 50L Friday signalled the end of a few very bad finacial months for me, since sales have been up on average since then.

I agree with you Emleigh – the person distributing this note shows a considerable lack of understanding of SL marketing, and income via micro transactions. If you sell more at a very low cost, you make more overall, it’s quite simple. It’s not like I made 0.19 an hour for the boots I offered. I have been nicely compensated for my time and effort, and the people who bought them are very happy with the product they received for that price. Everyone wins
