Scapoli Mall
After reading about a Mall in Scopia on Dedric Mauriac’s blog, i decided to check out this place for myself. Heres a video of what i saw.
The Problem with places like these in Second Life is that they sell on freebies that creators in Second Life offer for a profit and do not pass any cash to the creators. This in a sense then is theft which sucks. I have a feeling this place may get shut down soon though because they offer Zyngo (a SLingo rip off) and that falls under the Gambling ban since they are charging people to pay into a game and then offer a cash prize for a winner.

That empty spot above the space ship is where they had my product for sale. The owner did get back to me agreeing to take down my product. The problem I have now is - how many people purchased my product as part of a business in a box package under the false pretenses that they could resell it.
