Shop at Sampireun Designs

This is my new shop space at Sampireun Designs, which is a place the sells Indonesian and Asian stuff. Here, you will find my weapons and martial arts supplies for sale, in line with the theme for the mall.

The SLURL to my new shop

New store - XD Trading Mall

Update:
As of 28 Jul 07, all those renting spaces within XD Trading Mall have been returned their objects, and the mall owner stove Lu has been manually refunding rent. Apparently, this has to do with the LL policy on gambling in SL. So that's the end of my store here, a bit short-lived. But I have other stores elsewhere.
----------------------------------
I got myself a new store today. It is at this place in Mooter, the SLURL is here. The rent here is cheap, with a 50 prim limit. For the price, this is good. And reasonable too, since the space isn't exactly small. I mean, the shop at Keswick charges more but has a lower prim limit. Do come and get what you need from my vendors here, be it female skins, clothes, lingerie, weapons, even my vendor kit. And the ever popular newbie glasses.

My own vendor kit

After looking around, and even buying a few vendors from SLExchange, I still cannot find a vendor kit that can use consolidated vendors. So, I chose the next available option. I made one. Of course, I didn't start from scratch. Amethyst's free vendor provided the basic script for my vendor kit. All I did was modify her script to add in the ability to scale and offset textures. The vendor itself is very basic, just 3 prims. The centre is the display board containing the vendor script, the items to sell, the textures to use and a notecard to configure the vendor. The other two prims are the next and previous arrows. A set of instructions is also included in the vendor. Click on the red and blue buttons to scroll through the items for sale. To buy, right-click on the vendor and choose "Pay".

Anyway, my vendor is available for free at my stores at POD SHOP Keswick Mall and C&B - Chaos and Beauty.

To set up the vendor, open the "Items" notecard found in the vendor. Each line in the notecard represents an item for sale. The format of each line is as follows:
name of item,description of item,price,horizontal scale,vertical scale,horizontal offset,vertical offset,texture to use

For example:
MJ Cyan short dress,A short summer dress with prim skirt,20,0.5,0.5,0.75,0.25,box_skins_02

What this means is that the item for sale is "MJ Cyan short dress", and the description is "A short summer dress with prim skirt" on sale for L$20. The texture to use is "box_skins_02", with a horizontal scale of 0.5, a vertical scale of 0.5, a horizontal offset of 0.75 and a vertical offset of 0.25. The item for sale, as well as the texture to use, must both be placed inside the vendor. Once the vendor is configure, reset the script.

To figure out the horizontal and vertical offsets to use, see the two examples below. Usually, I put 4 or 16 pictures into each consolidated texture. For a 2x2 consolidated texture, the horizontal and vertical scale to use is 0.5, and it is 0.25 if it is 4x4.

I also found another vendor kit, this one allows you to "Click for notecard". However, I cannot edit the script, else I would have used it for my vendor kit. This vendor kit is configured by notecard too. It is made by Kayla Stonecutter for those who rent stores at Realmscape Mall, and can be found just above the fountain that is beside the teleport point into Realmscape. Right now I am using it to see the swords that I made.

And below is how my shop at POD Shop Keswick Mall looks like now, with the introduction of vendors. The cyan box is the vendor kit I made, available for free. Just remember to give due credit to Amethyst and myself should you decide to modify it.

Realmscape Mall

This is Realmscape Mall, an Asian themed mall which can be accessed at this SLURL. It has a very Oriental touch, as can be seen from the picture above. I haven't really wandered around the sim much yet, but it looks like a place where I can wear my dogi and hakama, or those taiji attire that I made.

The main mall is the one in the centre of the picture above. Inside are spaces for rent. There are also spaces in the basement for rent, going at L$25 per week. And in the fountain outside the mall, there is a free vendor which you can use to sell your stuff. The instructions look easy enough to follow.

"Click for more info" - My signboards

Due to some people complaining about my "give to nearby" scripts contained in my signboards, which hands out a notecard to people nearby, I have changed my signboards to give out notecards only when clicked upon. The notecards contain a list of items currently being put up for sale by me, as well as the stores and stalls currently rented by me to sell those items. If you cannot find an item at a particular store or stall, you can try to look for it at other locations listed in the notecard. So do feel free to click on my signboards for more information.

MANifesto (used to be Syc0phancy)

Update on 3 Feb 2008:
The name has changed to MANifesto (for some already, actually). I continue to have a shop here, and you can access it through this SLURL. The place has undergone quite major revamps, and actually looks very much nicer now. Do come visit the club, even if you don't want to buy anything at the shops.
-------------------------------------
This is the courtyard outside Syc0phancy, which can be accessed via SLURL here. It is just outside the skyscraper, right beside the teleport point. While the rent inside the skyscraper is higher, the rent for shops in the courtyard is low, at L$25 for 20 prims. If you can't find anymore spaces for rent near the skyscraper, not to worry. A short distance away from the skyscraper, there are some more spaces for rent, at the same price.
The above is my store just outside the skyscraper, on the second level. Most of the stuff are placed in LARGE boxes to make it easier for you to see. Below is another store, at the area just a short distance from the skyscraper (aka Phase 2). The stores here are still available for rent, so if you are looking for low cost rental, do come visit!

My store at POD SHOP Keswick Mall

POD SHOP Keswick Mall seems to be quite a new mall, with high traffic (for a mall) though. While there are some shops here already, there are still stores available for rent. Rent here is cheap, going at L$50 per week, so I decided to get myself a store here, to replace the one that I lost when KO Designer Mall Gorean section was sold away.

My store can be found at Keswick 189, 11, 43 so feel free to come and take a look at what I have to offer. My creations are sold here, including dresses, taiji-related items, and swords. I will continue to add more stuff here for sale as I make them, so do watch this space!

Twilight Inc. Village

Update on 3 Feb 2008:
I have ceased renting here for some time already.
-------------------

The shops at Twilight Inc. Village (Sunset Commerce 1 85, 7, 24) sell many different things. Besides the usual stores, there are small market stalls for rent too, going at L$25 per week with a prim limit of 15. This place sees moderate traffic, so the rent is a great deal. Even the stores, going at L$300 per week, is a good deal, considering that this is one of the busier malls around.

So I got myself a stall here (see picture below) intending to sell the clothes I make, as well as maybe some of the swords that I have.

Dreamtime Mall

Update on 3 Feb 2008:
I have ceased renting here for some time already.
-----------------------------------
Dreamtime Mall (Clanis 91, 117, 77) is one of the busiest malls around. Besides having lots of shops, there are also stalls for small-time vendors to sell their stuff.
Each stall has a limit of 10 prims, going at a weekly rental rate of L$50. With the lost of my vendor space at KO Designer's Mall Gorean section, I am moving towards renting spaces (stalls and small stores) to sell my creations. Below is my stall at Dreamtime Mall. Due to the prim limit, I will be putting up clothes for sale here.

Looking for a new space

KO Designer's Mall Gorean section is now closed. I was quite surprised, actually. I teleported in today, only to find the space empty. After checking with the owner kallyfaith, I found out that they have sold the land there, and are thinking of setting up the Gorean section again at somewhere beside the actual KO Designer's Mall, instead of in a separate place. While waiting for them to set up the new place, it seems that I am now lacking a space to sell my creations. So as of now, I am actively looking for vendor spaces for rent. I don't need many prims (between 25 to 50 is fine with me) as long as the rent is reasonable and they allow floating text. So if you know of any, feel free to let me know, either via IM in-world, or via comments here.

Meanwhile, if you wish to purchase my creations, you can look for them in the various yard sales. Try out Gorean Open Market, Under the Boardwalk Yard Sale, Spirit Realm Yard Sale, etc. Once I have found a new space, I will be sure to let everyone know!

Spirit Realm Free Yard Sale

This is a HUGE yard sale, and it is free! The prim limit is 25 per lot, and you are allowed to share lots as long as everyone using that lot is agreeable. With that many lots available, you can find quite some stuff up for sale here. I managed to get myself a lot too, somewhere further in. There are also freebies up for grabs here. Definitely worth a visit, and a good place to sell your stuff too! Click here to get to Spirit Realm Free Yard Sale.

Skye Plaza Mall Yard Sale

To get to the yard sale, click here. The yard sale is just above the shops level, there is a stairs leading to the yard sale from Skye Plaza Mall. There aren't many lots here, but those who do manage to get lots here put up great stuff for sale. So do check it out from time to time to see what is available.

Shopper's Village Yard Sale

Click here to get to Shopper's Village, where there are shops and also a yard sale. The yard sale is all the way at the end of the village, but it is worth the walk there to check out what is on sale there. Along the way, you will pass by shops (see if anything catches your fancy) and if you can afford it, there are spaces for rent here too.

Yard Sale at Taedong

At Taedong, when you arrive, you find yourself at the entrance to the castle. At the entrance itself is a teleport script that will bring you to the shops and this yard sale. There is a 15 prim limit per lot here, and there are only 12 lots available, so it may not be easy to get a lot here if you are looking for someplace to sell your stuff. But do feel free to drop in for a look by clicking here.

Skidz Partz Yard Sale

This is the yard sale at Skidz Partz. To be able to sell things here, you have to join the group Black Sun Systems, Inc. Joining the group is free!

The prim limit here is 5 prims per lot, which is not much, but it also means that vendors either use a vendor prim (if they have lots to sell) or rotate what they put for sale here. Either way, this generates variety.

You can get to Skidz Partz by clicking here.

Under the Boardwalk Public Yard Sale

This is the public yard sale at Under the Boardwalk. There are also vendor spaces at Under the Boardwalk. To get to the yard sale, you can either follow the arrow after teleporting in, or click on the sign for a teleport to the yard sale directly.

As with other yard sale, the limit is 10 prims, within the confines of each block. There used to be two areas for public yard sale, one as shown and another in the basement of the main area. However, the basement has since been closed to the public. So this open area is the only public yard sale at Under the Boardwalk for now.

As you might have expected, I try to maintain a lot here, so do feel free to drop by and take a look at what I have to offer here.

Decadent Mall Yard Sale

Decadent Mall is another place with a public yard sale. After teleporting in, head out of the main store area, and follow the path down to the public yard sale under the mall.

As with other public yard sales, you are allowed only one lot (which is a concrete slab) and up to 10 prims within the lot. This yard sale actually is quite popular, with most of the lots already taken up by the time I got here. I had to go all the way behind to get myself a lot.

KO Designer's Mall Gorean section

Update on 3 Feb 2008:
I have ceased renting here for some time already, after the sim was sold.
-------------------
This is my shop in KO Designer's Mall, inside the Gorean section, which also links to the furniture and houses section. This is a small free rental space made available by the owner kallyfaith Rolland. She is kind enough to let out these spaces in this section of the mall for free, each space allowing up to 25 prims.

So once I got this space, I set up shop. Not as elaborate as my neighbours, though. My shop is just a simple one with the items for sale, and a BIG signboard that tries to attract attention. Currently, my range of swords (momiji daisho, simple tachi, even a shinai) as well as some other martial arts clothing, and my range of glasses and sunglasses are available for sale here. Clothing that I make will also be available here as I design them.

To get here, try this SLURL http://slurl.com/secondlife/sabre/28/19/29/ which should bring you right to my shop. If you don't see it in front of you, turn around and see if you can see my signboard. Feel free to buy any of the items on sale there if they appeal to you. Pictures of the items on sale can usually be found on this website, under "Creations".

Gorean Open Air Market

Update on 3 Feb 2008:
I have ceased renting here for some time already, after the sim moved.
-------------------
This is my small little lot at the Gorean Open Air Market (SLURL http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caribbean%20Sunrise/65/195/22/). This is a place much like a yard sale, with up to 10 prims allowed for each brown lot. The lots are free, though you have to join the ~Tegair~ group in order to be able to sell things here. There are also lots with freebies, and also a flea market for used goods.

Due to the limited prims here, and because I have yet to get a vendor box, I limit the choice of products available here, and I try to rotate them. Do drop by every once in a while to check out the products available and buy them if they appeal to you.
